It’s time to put away the puffy coats and beanies and break out the sunscreen and board shorts. With the warmer weather and new laws to make it easier for campers, there no better time to set up the tents and have a few cold ones.

We’ve made a list of some of the best camping spots in Victoria for you to try out. 

Batteries can be pretty complicated. If someone asked you what the difference between the HVT-1 and HVT-8 was, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell. 

There are so many little things that can make a huge difference between two lead acid batteries and trying to find specific and simple information on batteries can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

It happens to us every year. It gets to around the 10th off December and we get a flood of phone calls from churches, catholic schools, Christian schools and other religious groups all with the same urgent problem that they need to be solved. They have bought these fantastic battery-operated candles for their carols by candlelight and they didn't come with batteries!! Arggghhh, Please HELP!!!

So I've managed to get my hands on a brand new 2015 Yamaha YZ250FX with thanks to Frankston Yamaha.

I've been thinking of switching to a YZ250F MX bike and changing class from open's to the lights but for me there were several issues preventing this.

The major one for me was no electric start. Racing in cross countries and sprints it is vitally important that i can quickly and easily start my bike. This is so important for getting a good start with the hands on head start in the Cross Countries and also important in the sprints. If you manage to stall in a sprint with a kick-start your looking at a minimum of 10 seconds to take it out of gear, then restart it and get going again and that's if you get it started first kick. This was simply a deal breaker for me so when i heard about the all new YZ250FX electric start cross country weapon i was sold on that feature alone! Which brings me to my first essential modification.
