A FEW IMPORTANT POINTERS

When you first use the space, we’ll give you a quick induction and show you where everything and a few handy poniters, but heres a few quick tips:

Number 1 and the most important: There are ZERO egos at Kommune. Ask questions, be supportive, help each other, take on baord constructive feedback and be bloody good human. Easy!
Always wear protective clothing. If you require safety gear ask a Kustom Kommune staff member.
Do not operate the bike lifts without assistance. Its always  a two-person job loading and unloading your motorcycle.
Do not operate machinery  you don’t know how to use. Always ask for assistance when using machinery or tools you are unfamiliar with – we have a ‘you break it, you bought it’ policy, so its always a good idea to ask.
Be aware of others around you at all times. Use safety screens when using power tools to protect people and bikes around you from dust and debris.
Keep your workspace clean. Do not leave equipment or parts on the floor where they can become a trip hazard.
Do not run your engine in the workshop for extended periods of time.
Dispose of waste materials responsibly. Ask a Kommune staff member for help.
Clean up after yourself and place tools back to where you found them. This is your responsibility and is key to keeping worktimes efficent.
Do not leave fuel in the workshop. Any petrol [not in a fuel tank] must be taken with you when you leave. There are no exceptions to this rule.
All motorcycles and parts must be labeled and stored in a dedicated storage unit. Anything left on benches or floor could get lost. Again, this is your responsibility. Any unclaimed parts get sold and put towards the party fund.
Workshop safety is everyone’s priority.
Always ask if you are unsure!

OPENING HOURS & BOOKING WORKSHOP TIME

Kustom Kommune is open from 10am – 9pm Tuesday – Sunday. We’re closed Mondays, but hold classes onsite Monday evenings.
Currently, we have a compulsory booking system (thanks to old mate COVID-19). Booking is super easy and you can book multiple sessions at once. Use the online booking system here.

It’s important that you do make a booking as we may not be at the space in the case that there are no bookings.

PARTS & CONSUMABLES

It’s important to know that consumables (such as oil, loctite, cable ties, degreaser, brake cleaner etc) are all BYO. We do carry a small amount of stock on site for purchase. There is also an area where other members will place left over consumables for you to use.

We can help source almost any part for your bike and in most cases we have wholesale accounts with local supplers. We split the mark up with our members, so you’ll generally save min 10% on all parts.

Member discounts will automatically apply to anything you purchase via the website.

MOTO & PARTS STORAGE

IMPORTANT: ALL BIKES LEFT ON SITE MUST BE ON A STORAGE SUBSCRIPTION. THIS IS A FIRM MUST.

Storage is $59 per week or $169 per month. Please ensure you are signed up (via the website) before leaving the workshop. Storage is strictly reserved for members and discounts apply for long term options. Discounted off-site storage in a shared storage unit is available too for $89 per month, chat to staff if this might suit you.

Storage includes a limited liabilty insurance coverage – eg if one of our staff makes a mistake and the result is loss your damage to you your property. It does not cover Fire, Theft or damage in the result of criminal activity. Insurance companies such as Shannons Insurance offer ‘Laid Up Insurance’ which is very low cost, otherwise its your responsibility to ensure your vehicle has adequate coverage.

ABANDONED PROPERTY AND VEHICLES

This bit is very important too, as mentioned in our Membership Terms & Conditions –

If property becomes abandoned, eg storage fees are not paid and vehicles and parts are left on-site and we can not reach you, the following processes will be followed.

We understand circumstances can change and we are always happy to help where ever we can. Keep us in the loop and maintain communication (we really, really don’t want to sell your bike!). We literally have an entrire storage unit of uncollected bikes and parts, so this process has had to be implimented.

TRAINING COURSES & PRIVATE 1-1 SESSIONS

We have a huge range of mechanical training courses – members save 20% on all courses.

We also offer private 1-1 sessions. These are booked online and our system will match you with an expert within our community to help you get those tricky jobs done on your moto. During a 1-on-1 training session, you’ll be shown exactly how to get the job done, working at your own pace with a dedicated instructor. Your trainer will explain everything from the best tools to use and why, through to how to perform the job, step-by-step. You can book a session here.
Members save 20% on 1-1 sessions.

CLUB PERMITS – MACHINE SOCIAL INC

In addition to the workshop, we also run as Vic Roads approved club, Machine Social Inc. If you’re looking to put your car or bike on club permit we can help! Sign up at MachineSocial.co. Joining fees are waived for Kommune Members ($50 Club fee per year applies). We are more happy to permit both cars and bikes, and yes you can transfer existing permits over, without needing a RWC.

“KOMMUNE SOCIAL KLUB” – EVENTS FOR EVERYONE

We run HEAPS of events. Rides, Sunday sessions, parties and other weird and wonderful events. These are to extend our awesome fam and bring us all a little closer together. It’s an opportunity for members to bring partners, mates or Kommune curious colleagues to meet the crew and have meet the crew. Most of these events dont have a focus bikes, so they are fun days with a social vibe and the perfect opportunity for those new to the space, or thinking of hanging out, to swing past and get to know the crew.

We do host members only events. We’ll shoot you an personal invite.

WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS

Lastly, we have an amazing group of skilled volunteers. These legends donate their time each week to help us manage and maintain the space and is one of the main reasons we are able to keep costs so low. They are onsite to give you advice and a helping hand when you get stuck, but they are not here to do the work for you. If you need a big job completed, book in a 1-1 session and help them monetise their time. Its like giving them a bit tip! You’ll get the job done faster and with no stress. It’s important to note that our Volunteers must not purchase parts or consumables on your behalf, if you need a hand sourcing the right parts, Volunteers can help you find them online for you to purchase, or send an email to getgreasy@kustomkommune.com.au and we’ll help you source them.
