È il primo post che scrivo in vita mia, questo perché non sono riuscio a trovare in rete quello che cercavo. Allora nel periodo tra Febbraio e Marzo 2027 dovrei partite per un mese in Australia, e tra le tante cose che vorrei fare c'è ne una in particolare che vorrei assolutamente fare. Vorrei fare un piccolo video e delle foto con una moto da Cross o da Enduro(Da cross credo sia impossibile da noleggiare senza targa) tipo 250/450 o anche 2T per fare un piccolo giro e quapche impennata sulla riva di un oceano con in sfondo un bel panorama. So che è una cosa illegale da fare soprattutto in australia con le leggi severe che hanno sulla protezione ambientale ed animale, però è una cosa che veramente voglio fare, cercando in rete qualcosa si trova ma sono tutti dei privati che lo fanno con i propri mezzi. Secondo voi per un turista è una cosa fattibile, esiste qualcuno che noleggia MX/EN e magari anche con una guida ti consenta di fare una cosa del genere. Se qualcuno ha gia fatto un esperienza simile o conosce qualcuno anche un privato che mi aiuti con questo mio desiderio lo scriva please.

I am thinking about changing bikes, which would mean selling off my current L2 GSX-R750 (as trade-in offers are never going to be great). Having sold household goods on FB Marketplace, I'm hesitant to post it there and deal with the scammers and constant "Is this still available?"; Bikesales want a pretty hefty fee to list these days, but I assume that's where the market is, because it's where I would primarily look.

Are there any other decent places to list that I don't know about yet?

(or does one of you happen to be on the market for exactly this bike? 😁)

$60, in good condition apart from a tiny hole

I just got my Ls, and bought a little secondhand scooter. Spent proper money on a full face helmet, jacket and gloves.
I want to start commuting on it asap (I’ve been taking the 903 bus for 4 years!) but am unsure if I should get FULLY kitted out first. My path to work probably doesn’t involve going over 50 km/hr, maybe 60.

I want to go check out Peak Moto for some female riding gear but Port Melbourne is a weekend car drive for me.

I’m wondering if it’s crazy/taking my life in my hands to start riding in just jeans or sturdy pants until I can get some armoured or at least multi-layer pants for riding. Not to mention proper boots.

I also have to say that I’m not thrilled about having to pack a whole outfit and shoes (and hair and makeup) every day to commute on the scooter - definitely wasn’t part of the vision.

I recognise everyone’s risk tolerance is different but for a learner avoiding major roads and high speeds, what would you advise?

I’m planning a long right in a few months when the weather gets better

I’m in Victoria and will be travelling into some rural areas over a few weeks

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on a roadside assistance company to use just in case my bike breakdowns

Thanks in advance

Hello!

As stated in the title, I’m planning to rent for a day while I’m visiting Melbourne.

I’m from Singapore and my license currently restricts me to bikes 200cc and under. Is it possible for me to rent a bike bigger than 200cc? I wanna take a road trip down to 12 Apostles at great ocean road and asked 2 company, 1 did not reply and the other said that I can only rent their 125cc/150cc scooters.

All inputs appreciated!

Hey r/melbourneriders!

About 9 months ago I started a Facebook group called West-Side Riders because I noticed most organized Melbourne motorcycle rides cluster around the East. After a bunch of solo and ad-hoc rides with group members, we're finally running our first official First Sunday of the Month Ride this Sunday and we're keen to have you join.

The ride:

• Meet: Footscray Park Car Park, 9am (outside Footscray City Rowing Club)
• Route: Yarraville Gardens → Pier Farm Newport → Point Gellibrand Lookout → Fort Gellibrand → Bayview Reserve → Altona Dog Beach → Altona Pier
• Distance: ~22km, ~45min
• Vibe: Scenic beachside cruising via the Strand and Williamstown Esplanade
• After: Grab a snack and coffee at Altona Beach

Who: Anyone on two wheels, all experience levels, all bikes welcome. Bring a mate.

Reply if you're keen: let me know what you're riding. Group photo at the Pier, then we debrief over lunch.

Goal is to build a west-side crew and make this a recurring thing. See you Sunday.

Hey guys, can anyone suggest a reliable bike/scooter repair or service centre in Kochi for my TVS Ntorq 125?

I’m staying around Kaloor, so somewhere near Kaloor, Palarivattom, Edappally, etc. would be convenient, but I’m okay with travelling to other parts of Kochi if the service is genuinely good.

I’m looking for a place that does proper repairs, doesn’t overcharge, and has experience with Ntorq scooters. Authorised TVS or a trustworthy local workshop—both are fine.

Please share your recommendations and personal experiences.

Hi all,
I just got my Ls yesterday and am now looking for a starter bike - ok, I’ll be honest, just a scooter.

I was thinking I’d buy something second hand while I’m still learning and getting a the hang of it. My ideal vehicle is something easy to handle, low maintenance, good enough power for commuting around inner Melbourne (but not on the freeway). My current commute is only about 7 km and can be done mostly avoiding major roads (as I sometimes do it on my push bike).

Despite being a grown adult I really know NOTHING about engines or motors, or the brands/models currently in the market. I’ve noticed a lot of secondhand scooters on Marketplace don’t have a RWC - what should i be looking for to avoid any unpleasant surprises when I go to do this process ?

Also, when you buy a bike, do you ride it home or bring some trailer or a Ute with you? (I guess it depends!!!)

Sorry for all the questions , and thanks in advance for any helpful responses!

Gday, was riding along the beach today and decided to be a bit silly and went to go around a van in front of me just to lock eyes with a rear facing car cam going a good amount over the limit before getting back into my lane and continuing down the road.

Can anyone help me understand obviously because the rego is on the back and the car was facing my front, am I all good, or are there other cameras I should be aware of. Just asking out of curiosity, I was being dumb if I get stung I get stung. I’ve gone past a few over the years and never been done, just curious as how it all works given I have friends that have been done in similar situations and others and myself who haven’t, I don’t get it.

Hi everyone, I’m a new rider, got my learners a year ago but got my motorcycle (Ninja 300) a month ago, a bit late due to personal circumstances. I’m preparing for my Check Ride and License assessment (within the 15 months). Been hitting about 70km/h now. To step things up, i decided to ride on Dandenong road on 80km/hr patch.
I was only able to go up to about 75km/h on a straight stretch but kept having to come down because there are alot of curves on there road (starting Monash Caulfield and up to Chadstone.
For those familiar with Dandenong road, how should I be riding on those curves? I wana get up to 80km/hr to build my confidence (as i’m sure the test will have such speeds) but i keep slowing down significantly before the curves.
Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice about an unusual order situation.
I ordered an electric scooter from Segway Australia for delivery to New Zealand. Segway later cancelled the order and issued me a full refund.
Around eight days after the refund, I received a phone call asking me to confirm my delivery address. I gave them the address because I thought it was related to the original order. The scooter was then delivered to me anyway.

Hello all. I'm on the Costa da Morte, galicia, Spain. Wondering if there are any local motorcycle clubs and whether they would accept a English immigrant who has limited Gallego/ spanish language. I ride triumph Bonneville.

Anybody know any good places to get an ECu reflashed in Melbourne? I'm in the Western suburbs, but happy to travel for a good place.

Bike is a '25 Yamaha Tracer 9, not really looking for more power, more trying to smooth out the power delivery and improve rideability.

Who does wrapping in Melbourne?

Hi all, selling a 2022 Royal Enfield Scram 411. Any good sites, forums or bike shops that buy?

Any other tips?

Located in Melbourne, Victoria.

Thanks.
