just in case any other dinosaur is reading this instead of
stalkerbook.


JUst in from the MotorCycle Council of NSW - the NSW motorcyclist's
advocacy group.

=======


A number of riders have recently contacted the MCC after being booked
for not paying a Parking Fee when they parked in the CBD in areas
where they thought had an exemption from having to purchase a ticket.



This situation has arisen as a result of Place Management (formerly
The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority) taking control of parking in
the areas they manage in The Rocks, Darling Harbour and Pyrmont.



The MCC has been advised that the areas managed by Place Management
NSW will mirror the City of Sydney policy on motorbike parking. We’ve
been advised this by email, this is to be followed up by letter.



The MCC has also been advised that anyone issued with a parking
penalty notice who raised this with Revenue NSW will have their
penalty notices waived. These penalty notices have been issued by
Property NSW.

I've sold my 650cc cruiser and bought a 172cc scooter.

https://scoota.com.au/scooters/sym-hd2/

I'm lovin' it! :-)))

I call it my "mobility scooter".

Is it fast enough for 110 highway and how much for rego?

Yep, on flat land it will sit on 110 happily. It peaks at 120.
However, it doesn't like steep hills. On steep hills, 80 is about max.

I only use it for short-ish trips (average trip would be about 15kms).
I'm done doing long trips on two wheels, and here in the Blue
Mountains all the speed limits are 80 or less so it's fine for around
here.

An 8 litre tankful goes for about 250kms. (3.2l/100km) (and don't
forget there's bugger-all flat land cruising involved.) Cheap as
chips. You just need to get used to gutless performance (compared to
a 650cc thing.)

Rego costs $131 + $86 for CTP = $217

My 1000 cc thing is getting to be a hand full for 77 in stop go city
traffic (alright on the highways). but it now costs nearly nothing to
keep as I have hysterical rego now. The ctp part of the rego is $24.00
and I will never use up the 60 trips plus official rides

The scooter is only half the weight of the old cruiser and is so much
easier to handle - and amzingly nimble. What came as a real surprise
was that I now corner with much more confidence which suggests to me,
in retrospect, that I must have been ill at ease cornering the
cruiser. I think it was the weight of the thing that spooked me.

Hi Zebee

Did you around 1975 / 1976 purchase a Yamaha R5 second hand? You might have paid $300.

Not 75/76

Maybe 85/86 in Adelaide. White tank?

Hi Zebee
Yes, the tank was white with orange swoops on the side behind the Yamaha badges. It was my brother's and he was told by the Yamaha Dealer that it was the only R5 in South Australia. He sold it 1975 - 1976 to a woman, which is why I thought of you because I knew you had owned one, but it can't be you if your purchase was a decade later. Do you know anything about the person you bought it from?

Alas no.

And the tank was painted white all over when I had it.

Lovely fast little thing it was, I think it ended up as part payment
for a Ducati :)
