Hi,
I have put pics of my bike up before, but now I have a kurnell rear hugger and some Oxford LED indicators to show you guys/gals.

Unfortunately for me I wont be able to use this stuff as I just had my licence suspended for 3 months, with a $600 dollar fine, today about 1 hour ago during my lunch break:mad:
30km over whilst overtaking a car on a hill.
NOT HAPPY:mad:
Anyways 3 months should be enough time to get my **** together to not speed everywhere. Its my first bike and I'm still loving the acceleration, should have gone out on a track day to get my race fix.

Ok here is the pics

Whats a kurnell hugger. Is that the a-tech knock off?

Could be a rip off, also could have been released around the same time. I dunno?
Its made from fibreglass, with a gel coat on the outside.
Perfect install, great fit.
Much much cheaper option than the A-tech, and its Aussie made:thumbup:

:whathesaid:


That's only like 18mph over the limit. Here you'd just get a ticket with like a $200 fine (just "guesstimating" the price). You don't lose your license till it's a multiple offense, double the speed limit, or over 100mph. Those are the only 3 cases I hear of suspensions for speeding. Harsh traffic laws you guys got there.

Well at least you have a nice bike and I hope things get better for ya on the road.

Yeah laws are different here. We also MUST wear an approved helmet (not that im complaining id be wearing one anyway) and i noticed it doesnt seem to be compulsary over there.

I depends on what state you life in. But correct me if I'm wrong fellow yanks, but don't most states require a helmet? The only ones here in the midwest that I can think of off the top are MN, and IA wher you don't have to wear one....

That varies from state to state. Some states have helmet laws and others have free choice for helmets. However, for any and all Federal Installations (IE military posts) it is mandatory to wear a helmet, take a safety course, and wear reflective material.

Just this past year Florida made history by being the first state to make it mandatory for people to take a motorcycle safety course to get their license.

Actually about half the states don't require a helmet after the age of 18 or 21 from what I could find. Only 2 states don't require them at all for any age.

Yup I hear our laws are tough in Aus compared to others, I cant complain really. I only got my P's 12 days ago, so I know the rules back to front.


Surely all around the world you need a helmet wouldn't you?, seems to me anyone with commonsense would were a helmet.
But hey commonsense isn't that common.:)

Congrats on your P's :thumbup:

Also in regards to "Commonsense" Ive worked in retail for 5 years and worked out that it isnt that common in probably my first week :p especially working in I.T.

Thanks,
Surprised, thought it would be mandatory for helmets.
I like looking at other laws and how they came about, Sweden has some different laws.

It should be mandatory. It seems like common sense to wear a helmet when riding. IMO

I seen alot of riders W/O helmets in FL when I was down there last month. :(
