Do you have a close up of those lights Pete lol

[timbo]

Would you like a tissue?

[xa-mont]

just give him a hug timbo... ;)

[Lewis Moto]

No vehicle other than an emergency vehicle may have forward projecting red or blue lights....there is proper wording in legislation somewhere.
Are those photo's or an artists interpretation for evidence?

[RevHead]

no tissues ,just didnt know this,

[Redmohawk]

Pritty standard law really , cops have em you cant simple. Most lights sold in shops have a disclamer on the packet , joys if buying on the net Pete but even most lights sold on the net have the disclamer warning you there not legal everywhere.

[oldskool]

You didn't know this and you say your a Mechanic????????????????????
Same laws for bikes as for cars, you really didn't know this?

[ALBI]

dont dig that hole mate ! it may get bigger lol

[ALBI]

besides pete its arctic frost !! not blue ,fucking cop is colour blind

[Redmohawk]

The lowest paid qualified mechanic in my shed earns $29.50 an hour and thats pritty shit for down here but they don't work to hard eather lol In a shed 11 km down the road doing "shitter work" there charging out at $75 an hour (and about to put it up to $85 granted thats not what the mechanics getting in the pocket But to say there is no money in it . What do you call money Pete ?

[BANDITROD]

And out of that $85 how much goes in overheads and general bits and pieces

[El_Hefty]

Pete there's never any money in anything for retards, just a tip. Good to see your doing so well though

*Hefty last seen listing his business's for sale and looking for a job as apparently he's flogging a dead 'orse*

[Bob]

I think all coloured lights (LED/Neons) are illegal. I got done years ago for it. Only $75 and no points.

[LKC73]

Pete, the NSW RTA do not allow any other colour lighting other then White on the front and Red for the rear and in case of trailers, trucks, and the like, they can run amber (yellow) running lights facing forward with red facing rear.

In your case, blue is a big no no, so not suprised that your cop mate booked you.

And I know what your thinking, what about all the others with them LED washer sprays on the hoods and what not, well there not legal either, just havnt been told yet.

[Redmohawk]

Rod with 6 Mechanics working in that shed and charging out from 7 to 5 monday to thur with a 3 pm shutdown on fri (even had a nice rolling rdo) I'd say not a whole heap. A mate worked in there for 11 years and the shed wasnt slow to often. A single mechanic on his own has his work cut out for him to grind out a living without saving costs (like living in the shed) I know a guy thats done just that for the last 25 years loves it even raising his kids there.

[RevHead]

ive been in my shed now for 4 yrs working ,been living here on and off for 2 yrs,ive built so many cars for people,from vintage to modern, my latest was a 2004 xr6t complete body swap after a women backed it into a tree a 50ks and stuffed ,it ,,it took me 7 days from front to back to swap everything ,i charged them $550 a day so you know the work is hard the hours are long but i love it,the best thing about what i do is that there is no restoration businesses in this area ,and i get cars sent to me from everywere,i subcontract out panel work ,etc but do 90 percent myself,,i still have tight months like all,

[pappas]

So your a Mechanical Engineer Pete? Did you do an Advanced Diploma at Tafe or did you get a degree at Uni?

[xa-mont]

and whilst you were doing it did you get someone else to write all of your essays?

All this aside, Im still very suprised u were unaware of the rules Pete. Even I kno that one...

[BANDITROD]

All of that aside I think the point Pete is trying to make is it was inspected and passed

[xa-mont]

yeah but all of THAT aside... and we have a lot of things aside... you know?

[BANDITROD]

Lol

[RevHead]

very funny ,lmao,,,cheers rod

Answer the question Pete.

99% of the engineers I've had anything to do with are fuckwits, you must have to get a lobotomy to be one.

[pappas]

I did my Mechanical Engineering Diploma at Tafe Pete, that's why I was asking. It's one of the hardest courses you can do at Tafe, so you've done well to finish it. 75% of the class I was in failed to complete the course.

Latheboy I'd like to think I'm in the 1%, I'm not working as an engineer so that's how I'm justifying me not being a fuckwit. I do work with a few Civil Engineers and admit your comment is warranted.

[RevHead]

i did answer the question i sent pappas a pm it took mores yrs then it should have and i only made the cut off by one mark,,which i was above ,

[JackTar]

Shutup cunts.

You can't spell or type and you are a stupid fuck there is no way you could pass that shit even by one mark if you where blowing the teacher!
You didn't even know what the air gap in a motorcycle fork was!

yeah, im definitely in the 99% and proud of it [8D]

[Iceman]

So back on to what I think was the original topic. I was talking to my roadworthy guy the other day and he said they now have to take pics of the vehicles that come through. I guess this stops the kids putting 24" wheels on their hyundi's and saying "it passed a roadworthy like that!"

Not sure bout that petey.
Looks like you got caught out talking shit.

[Shadowzone]

I put blue leds into the marker lights on the Freightshaker Agony I was driving and the good folk from the RTA Narranderra were nice enough to warn me about it and not knock me off for them. This is despite the fact that 4 nights before the blokes up the road at Parkes weighed me and sent me on my way without bothering to mention them.
Not everyone cares about them Pete, but in the case of your local bloke? It makes for an easy sting - if you contest it you're another filthy motorcyclist doing the wrong thing...
