What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[bigleonski]

I got my first speeding ticket in the Grenadier today. Well, it was 2 months ago but received it today.
67km/hr in a 60km/hr zone in the middle of nowhere, and not in a built up area. $330.
The mind boggles.

Could have saved yourself $228 if you'd done that in Tasmania

Speed camera or actual rozzer?

Roadworks speed camera?

 

[Walter]

That looks like a much more extreme angle than mine, I guess you have a lift?

2.5" Eibach springs installed at the dealership on Sep 26, 2024.

 

[Walter]

I wouldn’t want to be driving that. Get it fixed before driving anymore. If it fails completely as mine did whilst driving other damage can occur whilst it’s flailing around. Mine broke the oil cooler pipes for the gearbox and I spilled all the gearbox oil out onto the road. The consequences of this could cause a catastrophic accident if at speed.

It will be towed to the dealership. Did you also have the 2.5" springs installed?

Roadworks speed camera?

Nope, mobile camera near Mt Mee, no roadworks, no twisties, no idea. Anyway, my contribution to paying off Labor debt.

No modifications to my Grenadier so far.

Can you post a pic sometime with the bike mounted? Interesting use of the ladder!

 

[Reducs]

Sweet! I can't tell from the pic, but is the rear wheel secured, or just resting against the bumper? I like the idea!

just resting for short trips... but for longer ones I'll just pass a bungee through the frame.

Towed to the dealership—just in time for the Christmas parade, and maybe for New Year too.

Ouch, why was it flat bedded?

 

[Grumpy]

New use for the rooftop power outlets!

 

[Walter]

Ouch, why was it flat bedded?

Front drive shaft failure.

Front drive shaft failure.

Do you have the Eibach lift springs?

Do you have the Eibach lift springs?

Yes. 2.5"

When I first arrived in Tasmania back in 1987 I drove off the boat in Devonport and there was a local council carpark.
At the entrance there was an old cast iron box that said parking tickets 5 cents for 3 hours.
Having just come down from Sydney where it was $2 for an hour I thought it was just a tourist gimmick and didn't pay it.
When I returned I had a parking ticket...........$3

I got done 3 months ago for 69 in a 60 zone.
I remembered seeing the camera on the side of the road and checked my speed as I was sure it was a 70 kmh zone.
I went back after I got the fine and picture in the mail.
Sure enough it was a 70 kmh zone.
I had the fine reversed.
They said the camera had been set up incorrectly.
How many people just paid it I wonder.
