    Motorbike Importation - Anyone done it?

    Want Model is it? As an example: If it was a Suzuki GSX 750 89". Then originally it would have been imported and has a compliance plate for the then Aussie homologation laws. I know that now Suzuki Australia will not issue a compliance plate for any bikes they did not import them selves. This...

    Tyre Warranty ?

    A few weeks to find out if it is approved for warranty.... That is not customer service. Most dealers should have say either it is warranty or not. The dealer completes an online warranty form, the shop gets a credit and holds onto the tyre for 3 months so that the sales rep from the...

    Moto GP 2015

    MM is a tool and should not have been mixing it up with Rossi. If you are not in the points game then you leave alone the guys who are. The crowd reaction last weekend booing at lorenzo was.... different. At first he was smiling but then he walked away. Ped did a great ride but no one...

    Topless models for Total Rush shop re-launch?!?!

    driftking your argument is so far away from the rest of the world. What you are saying is only true in your little world and not in other places around the world. Some places in the world the girls would be put in jail and other places they get paid more and some girls go top less just for fun...

    Cannondale scalpel frame failure - any suggestions?

    Wombat , you made one very good point about what is written in the warranty because in Aus that does means squat! What is the law is what is important but in Aus the importer does not have to do this until the court says so. A importer uses a warranty book as a guide. Most warranty books used in...

    Cannondale scalpel frame failure - any suggestions?

    I find this thread interesting!! OK so the frame that broke is going to be replaced under warranty, but no parts that were damaged as a result of the crash. And the frame with the crack the warranty claim has been denied. If this is true then, first I would be very surprised if you got any...

    Chain reaction now limiting some product availability?

    I have a Garmin 800, that I bought here in Aus. I went to buy an Europe map and when you buy it from Aus it is $99au. I did not buy until I got to Germany and I paid 40euro. MMMMMMMmmmm! So I think Garmin control the price depending where you down load.

There is not alot of places to pass, and on the first lap of the race if someone stuffs up on the climb up Blouder everyone behide them will have to stop. The whole lap feels like you...

    Timor tyre suggestions

    Hi, I'm trying the race kings but the narrow 2. I was thinking of using a 2.2 for the front but if the rain comes the skinner the better. Imagine five days of racing in mud and clay without washing the bikes. This is going to be epic!!! Viva Timor!!!

    Victorian XC Championships

    I have done several laps now and Boulder is not that hard to climb. There are many different lines you can take over the rocks , the faster one generaly being the harder. The Clam is easy, if you ride high on the rock face you just have to check your speed because you can go into it alot faster...
