  • For all Austrians who consider importing a Harley

    from 01.02.2009 NEW RULES! For your vehicle we provide all technical data necessary for registration in the database of the Ministry of Transport. You can allow your vehicle with a CoC (Certificate of Conformity) or the data extract that you receive from us if no CoC has been issued, and a valid proof of ownership (e.g. invoice or purchase contract) with your insurance agency. A vehicle inspection or inspection from our side is not necessary. We need copies of the following documents: Vehicle letter or registration certificate Part II TÜV report (or HU due in vehicle registration copy) We need to be able to determine the following information from it, as these are stored in the database of the BMVIT in Austria: Number of previous owners Last assigned registration number First registration date Date of issue of the CoC (if available) For the determination and setting of the data set in the approval database we provide you with an invoice of 250€ gross. Only after payment the data set is activated for your vehicle, before the registration is not possible. for me this was unfortunately too late, the nice lord in mörfelden did not yet know this in the jänner apparently.I was sent to an Austrian dealer who took 390euro for it!

  • reading forms,

    so I thought I could get and read the book “Motorcycle in Perfection” by Ulrich Thomson. To get it straight ahead, it is a very good book, loosely written and beautifully illustrated. It contains a lot of information about riding the bike. After reading this book, I ask myself how I like the many years of cycling in the mountains. I think it’s a good way to get to know you. A lot of things that are described in this book – e.g. driving curves, we do without thinking. Or there are among us which are superior before the turn – I have to push now right or left at the handlebars – if I want to right or left around the corner. I think who does this just flies out. I’ve always been “without thinking” motorcycle. Stop thinking a schelm of the wrong thing. I’m thinking about it. I don’t think when I drive about whether I should lie down, push or hang – that’s always situation-dependent. I don’t think about the tipping moment and the insurrection point or the insurrection surface etc. I think I will spend the rest of the time until March thinking about what I could do before or how I have done it for many years. If I think about it, it’s written in this book that the procedures when riding a motorcycle from So friends, just drive and don’t think – you know how I mean that. For an absolute motorcycle newcomer, however, this book is highly recommended. So, maybe I see it all completely wrong – how do you think about it. Gruss Kenno

  • Cleaning / storage / everyday maintenance?

    Salute, the question may sound stupid, but there was nothing in the FAQ. To what extent and with what means does a fun bike really need care / maintenance after / before a ride. With my intended use, it could be that the pock also just after a tour only 3-4 weeks in the garage stands stupid again. Cracking after a tour is no problem, but after that? Chain oil? With something special or does ́s there WD40 and consorts? For longer e Stand times (winter) I would probably buy such mounting roller stands, so that the part net the tires is flat. Does even more attention need? Or then only the usual check-ups after service interval and just always a visual check after oil leaks and tyre condition as well as brake?

  • The Master and the Motorcycle

    Admittedly, a somewhat misleading title and I could have written it differently. Well, but I don’t mean the master who mastered his racing machine, but the one who might be responsible for your motorcycle. As I have learned elsewhere, there are still people who put themselves on the back and thereby promote their career – congratulations from me at this point on Littlevampire. I assume that in large companies the championship titles are is still a stepping stone into an elevated position and there is and remains an integral part of the Hierachie plane. On the other hand, the master title to enter self-employment is no longer necessary. This means that in principle every journeyman (or maybe he doesn’t even have to be a journeyman?) can make himself independent with his own company. What I personally leave unevaluated for the time being. However, I would be interested in your opinion whether you also have your motorcycle in a workshop without the sign „Motorcycle Meisterbetrieb XY-E would bring, or do you stand on twin rooms with chief doctor treatment?

  • New entrant – which racing machine?

    Hello forum, I am the Frank, 28 and at that time together with the car also made the motorcycle driver’s license. But I have never driven since. Because all my friends drive, I now also need such a heater. So I don’t like any tourers or choppers, I already need a racing machine. So far I have tried on the bikes of my friends, so Fireblade and Ninja. They were quite cool, that’s what I want too! But I don’t want to limp afterwards. Budget has What do you think of them here? http://suche.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… http://suche.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… http://suche.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… Are these serious offers? Should I rather buy from the dealer, or can I fall into it just as much as with private? And again in my own business, starting from small I don’t want to buy so much, I don’t want to buy twice. I don’t think that’s anything for me, I want to buy something like that. 170 hp doesn’t sound so impressive now, when I drive under 250 hp I don’t get a chance at all, which of the 3 bikes would be the most beginner-friendly? I think to have read that the Fireblade is the most comfortable. My buddies also do bigger day tours on sunny weekends, so up to a maximum of 150km. I would like to endure this without any pain, one of you may have such a motorcycle and can report something about it. Thank you and see you soon, your Frank!

  • Which 70/80ger bike for CAFERACER???

    Unfortunately I was able to drive quite little in the last years so that I could fully concentrate on it. I built up a couple of motorcycles and want to do it again. Now it will probably become a Caferacer and I spent hours with the selection of the base bike. I originally wanted to build n Street Tracker from a 92ger LC4 because I have 3 standing here but this time it should be something more suitable for everyday use. I thought about 2, 3 or even four cylinders of the Ba ujahren 74 -83 i.e. CB, XS, XJ, KZ, GT ???…etc. The base should have at least 550 ccm and have no or little design-related weaknesses. The XS 650 falls out, super base but far too expensive in all. Please write me your opinions and suggestions ! Peace

  • US import general questions

    Hello, I hope I’m right here in the US car forum, I’d like to know how much an import from the USA (California) to Germany costs so let’s say the car costs 15-18T dollars what do I have to calculate so how much customs and VAT fall on who picks up the car from the dealer in L.A.? Isn’t it possibly cheaper to transfer the car to the Netherlands and pick it up from there.

  • Perfect Harley cover for winter

    Hello together, I just made my bike winterproof and was among other things looking for a cover. The original harley covers are not exactly cheap and not particularly friendly to paint. I discovered on ebay one the Sattler Herold. This apart from custom leather pockets for your Harley also designs custom made covers for your machine. I had one made for my Road KIng. The meterial is stretchable, high quality, washable and very friendly to the Lack, to match exactly and for 77.- € almost a bargain. At the link to the shop – best send email and directly request: http://stores.ebay.de/…/_i.html?…
