Thanks it looks like he may be right about my stiletto end caps but I still think my mirrors are right.

 

Will talk to Robo at Rollies tomorrow.

To Deano,

I found this on Qld Roadworthys

REAR VISION MIRRORS

Possible reasons for inspection rejection:

• Rear vision mirrors are not fitted in accordance with prescribed standards. (See Note 2)
• Rear vision mirror(s) fitted to any motorcycle, including motor tricycle(s), do not provide a clear view of the road to the rear of the motorcycle, including motor tricycle(s), when the rider is in a natural riding position, and are not of the same curvature.
• Mirror(s) are not securely mounted and free from damage, blemishes or tarnishing which would reduce the view to the rear of the vehicle.
• If convex mirrors are fitted, the mirrors do not have a radius of curvature of not less than 1.2 metres.

NOTES:

[1] If the frame or body of the motorcycle, including motor tricycle(s), provides adequate protection in any part of this area, then only the unprotected part of the region requires mudguard protection

[2] At least 1 rear vision mirror must be fitted to a motorcycle or motor trike with 1 front wheel built before July 1975.

At least 1 rear vision mirror must be fitted to each side of a motorcycle or motor trike with 1 front wheel built after June 1975.

HANDLEBAR DIMENSIONS

Possible reasons for inspection rejection:

• The distance between the extreme ends of the handlebar assembly is greater than 900 mm and less than 500 mm.
• The height of the lowest part of the handgrip is higher than 380 mm above the attachment point of the handlebar to the motorcycle.

Hi All, in the first week of February 2013 I rode down to Melbourne and then on the boat to Tassie. I teamed up with some members from the VRN Melbourne and Tassie Group for a week's ride. There was about 24 Victory's 2 HD's and 1 Suzy plus Victory Melbourne brought ove a van with a Judge and XC Ltd for some of us to ride. It was a good week and great company from both groups. This was the 3rd time the Melbourne and Tasswegians got together for a ride.

It has been decided to do a Tassie ride every second year (odd year numbers, next being 2015) and the Melbourne group arrange a weeks ride in the even years - therefore the first week of February 2014 they are planning on a week around the Snowy Mountains.

For those that can, i suggest you start looking at your leave and monies and try to get on this ride as it will b good.

I am in constant contact with the groups and will or you can follow them on the main forum. Anyway I'll keep this information coming on this site as it gets closer.

By the way I see Scazzie and Rollies are trying to get some rides in...this will be good.

Cheers

Thanks Frank, I am a shift worker in the city so we can see what happens in the New year. You'll love the CC and never look back.

All the best to you and family

Hi All,

Well what an active mob we are. Let's hope 2013 will see us get together for a ride and or beer at the Victory Hotel in the city.

I am riding down to Melbourne and then Tassie in about 5 weeks time, if anyone wants to ride down.

I am doing the following:

Far Ride East No. 2 - This means I have to be a the V Tavern Nambucca Heads between the hours of 1200 to 1230pm (Lunch Time) - I am doing a 1000km trip to get there going via Goondiwindi - Armidale. I'll either leave after lunch on Friday 1st (has to be after 1230pm - show fuel docket for proof) or I will leave about 1am Saturday morning on 2nd February 2013.

After this I do not have to board the boat in Melbourne until 8th February and was thinking of looking at Victory in Sydney and Melbourne and if I have time Trevaye Motorcycle Camper Trailers in Bendigo.

Heading back I should be leaving Melbourne on the 15th or 16th Feb. 2013 and may go via the Great Ocean Road - Mt Gambier - Mildura or whatever.

I'll probably make it an IronButt Run (of 2500km in 36hours)

Anyone interested give me a call or text 0434202284, i am flexible except for those two dates the 2nd and 8th.
