    Chewie's Speed Triple

    Hi all, just found this motorcycle thread. Here's a picture of my 2009 1050 Speed triple. Its done about 72000km. I bought it with almost no k's on it in 2018. I do a lot of touring on it. Whenever I get home from a trip on the bike and drive my car I start wondering what is wrong with it....it...

    Iphone iOS 13 Upgrade

    Since I upgraded my iphone to iOS 13, my phone continuously connects and disconnects every few seconds to the car system. (2012 SV6). Has anybody else had this problem?

    The Motorcycle Thread - anything and everything

    That is a nice clean bike. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but if you haven't been riding for 40 years, it would be a real good idea to do some rider training. Guys who return to riding after 30-40 years are well over represented in accident statistics, many of them thinking they know it...

    The Motorcycle Thread - anything and everything

    Enjoy the process Sheldon. Good luck with whichever one you buy. (My choice would be the Indian, if I was into that style of bike.) Also as you'll see below, I think gloss black is the way to go! I have had well over 25 bikes over the last 45 years since I got my license. Many sport bikes...

    Share your health battles

    Just over 6 years ago I developed a DVT in my left leg. Searching for a reason why discovered a mass on my left kidney, which was cancer. Kidney is gone now, so is the DVT and the cancer. Luckily it was discovered at an early stage and hadn't spread to other parts. I was lucky it caused the DVT...

    Cruise Control

    I have this problem periodically. Stopping and restarting usually fixes it. I have not yet worked out what is causing it, but it usually happens when I use the indicators and I think it happens when I'm careless enough to hit the top of the stalk where the button is, but I can't be 100% sure...

    White Smoke from Exhaust.

    Looks like condensation to me. My SV6 (2012) emits condensation for quite a while on these cold mornings. Watch the coolant reservoir for a few days, but if it is not emitting the 'smoke' while the motor is hot, I suspect that you're OK.

    Motorcycle Exhaust Noise

    I have been riding bikes (legally) for 44 years. Almost every bike I have had I have changed the pipes. I like a good note. Most bikes I have had including the two I have now would not pass any test..... But...."Loud pipes save lives" is a total crock. No matter how loud your pipes are, Joe...

    SV6 complete engine fail at 110000k. and the car isnt even 3 yrs old...

    This is the very reason that I change my oil every 5000K. APS in Frankston look after my car and it was Frank's recommendation to do the change every 5000K. Those guys know stuff.

    Tow Bar for VE SV6

    I was going to fit a towbar myself. While I was collecting prices, I called a towbar specialist in my area and I got a price fitted for a Hayman Reese bar that was cheaper than the best price I could find for a genuine towbar to fit myself. No brainer. Fitting yourself can be done if you are a...

    This is a variation on the automotive porn theme......road porn. A couple of roads I discovered on a trip to the US in 2011. Both roads go on like this for miles and miles, with almost no likelihood of a cop spoiling the fun............

    Timing Chain Replacement

    thats a good idea Suiy. Just don't come around here whining when your motor grenades........which could happen tomorrow or three months from now. One positive thing, if you abuse the ute on a daily basis, when it does go, it will be spectacular!

    Service and oil life?

    Oil and filter every 5000k and a tank of BP Ultimate 98 every fourth fill. All good for keeping a clean engine.

    First Time Buying From Holden Dealer

    If you can sell privately you'll do a lot better than trading in. They will offer you $5,000 - $7000 less than its worth, as they will want to make a shitload on its resale, (unless its not something worth reselling...then they'll unload it to the trade and give what they'd get for it from...

    Does seller have to provide rwc if car is registered wild

    I have bought a couple of cars here in Victoria, without an RWC. I got the RWC myself before I did the transfer. Both cars were cheap and I got them even cheaper after I offered to get the roadworthy. Neither car required much work for the roadworthy, so I got a good deal on both. It is a risk...

    Is my VE Calais a write-off?

    Even if you are insured with RACV (I am also) you don't have to use their repairer. If you have a repairer that you know and trust to do a good job, you can get a quote from him and pass it onto RACV. They wont make it easy for you, every time you ring up, you'll get a different girl, and...

    wheres the mark 'chopper' read death thread aussies??

    "I haven't shot anybody since 1992...and even then I didn't do it!" - Mark 'Chopper' Read. Chopper was a bad man, but he was intelligent, witty and likeable. In the last 15 years of his life he kept out of trouble and seemed to be a reformed character. If nothing else he was always entertaining.

    Melbourne Panel beaters

    $200 sounds like a pretty good price to me. Consider purchase of the paint and clear, preparation of the surface, then actual painting, baking and finishing. Can't see that being done in less than two hours total. As stockies said, for less than $200 you will get a **** job.
