  • Import motorcycle from England.

    Hello, I ask here on behalf of my brother, did not have the idea of 2 wheels, so don’t complain, if I don’t express myself intelligibly My brother just sold his machine (Honda CBR 900). Now he is looking for something new. He has now been looking for Motoscout for some time throughout Europe, and look, in England Suzukis (at least those he could imagine…) are relatively cheap. He said what of 3,000 EUR instead of here 7,000 EUR. I said “these are pounds, so are about 4,500 EUR.” But even that would still be cheap. Where is the hook on English machines? Are they different from local ones? Does the customs require horrendous import sums? Has anyone ever done something like this and can give tips? mfg Burning Ass

  • Also descended…

    löl, seems to be in fashion at the moment I thought therefore I would report my mini fall also times 😉 Had yesterday after the work to have the impulse still n little fun with the Duke and I thought to myself n little offroad in the field etc with it. Unfortunately the thing sow is heavy and although the first 15 minutes also went quite well I made the mistake when re-entry into the asphalt spear. I got much too straight on the transition field apshalt, and the little one was so fast on the Ground that I have already had to fall fast with 😉 Awesome as I am I stumbled over the emergency switch at the fall *g* and fortunately also did nothing to me, heel a little bumped because of working shoes ( so stupid I know ) and my arm what tore up when intercepting, but otherwise everything in the green area. Well I think who really well wants to learn to drive also has to go to its limits, and at the same time accidents can happen so what should, the Maschiae has Now one last question, if something like this happens to me again, so front tyres slips away because you try to drive very bluntly over a raise, I can save something if I push the handlebar firmly into the correcting of the raise (so try to raise the angle) ? Or is it already lost in the moment when you slip anyway. So, note for the summer vacation, always stop first, then descend ;-)) vG Florian EDIT : wüns ch you all n nice weekend 🙂

  • Payment possibilities after accident

    Hello, short to the accident: When waiting at a traffic light, a car drove up and delayed me to the two cars standing in front of me.The report contains the following data: Repair costs without VAT 16.293,06 EUR incl. VAT 19.388,74 EUR Merchantial impairment 1.100 EUR Repair duration 15 working days Replacement value without VAT 22.100,84 incl. VAT 26.300,00 EUR Comparable driving points are mainly offered with regular tax. VAT 11.350,00 EUR Replacement period 10 working days Usage failure class H 65,00 EUR/day Would be nice if you could answer the following questions about the report. Is a fictitious billing possible with the data? Does the car then have to be repaired or is it also possible to sell to the residual value buyer indicated in the report? Is it correct that I receive the impairment only after repair? A repair period is indicated with 15 working days. If actually repaired, isn’t it? Is there a loss of use for Saturday and Sunday for the repair period, then a total of 21 days? Alternatively, a settlement to the replacement value less residual value is possible, isn’t it? Can I sell the car at the remaining value indicated in the report directly after I have obtained my opinion and have to wait until the opposing insurance company registers? The replacement period is indicated at 10 working days. Does it look like Saturday and Sunday? In what period of time does another car have to be purchased (e.g. within half a year)? I am happy about every answer. Greetings Sunshine1981

  • Technical questions on cooling, oil change, etc.

    KLEINE TECHNIKFRAGE #1: Under what circumstances is an oil cooler worth for an air-cooled two-cylinder machine, and is this even useful? And is a thermostat for quick heating and not to be undercooled in winter a “must have”, or senseless play?KLEINE TECHNIKFRAGE #2: If you install an oil tank distance ring to get 50% more oil (i.e. instead of approx. 2.6l now 3.9l) into the engine, would an extension of the interval from 7,500km to 11,250km be legitimate? NIKFRAGE #3: Let’s assume we’re going to the ass of the world. And by that I mean really ass… Is it justifiable to drive unbalanced tires there with regard to the lifespan of the wheel bearings? SMALL TECHNIKFRAGE #4: What happens if you suddenly double the oil change interval or drive even more? Instead of 7.500km tearing off 20,000km and only tilting the usual 0.1-0.4l/1,000km that the engine consumes anyway? “Something” of fresh oil comes in. And ok, the Plörre should then be full of suspended particles and thin like water. Whereby in advance only the thickest, temperature-stable oil (20W-50) would come in anyway. Possible, or not?

  • Steering impulse

    Hello together! Have a question to all those who know about it. I read the reading of Mr. Bernt Spiegel. Here I am at the point (also in the exercise book) where the steering impulse is concerned. 1. who drives from you actively/consciously with this method (evasiveness, etc.) 2. How do you actually proceed, or how does it work? m book is described, that you push the steering impulse through impulses/”beats” at the desired side of the steering system. rs initiates and the handlebars, as soon as the motorcycle has reached the desired angle then holds for the desired time. Did this this morning on the way to work a few times “inferentially” tested. Think I also did not dare, because sometimes really against it (was not after all on the road). Do you have tips on the right procedure? Many greetings from Stuttgart

  • Discussion (un)culture in the Toyotaforum

    Dear moderators, I like to look more often at the Toyota forum of Motor-Talk, since there are interesting news and discussions about “our brand” to read here. But it is not so amusing for anyone to have to read every day the repetition of the same brainless and right-wing rock from a few. Again and again, the same “scandal revelations” about Toyota are spread – no such small media nuance is lost. At the end we are again the “agressive Toyota drivers” with “brand glasses” who do not want to see what we are driving for retrogressive drinks. It would certainly be best for the discussion culture to moderate a little more rigorously here and filter out too provocative postings (from both sides!).

  • Problems with the search function

    I had the following problem last week and today a few hours ago: After entering a search term and executing the search function, the message “Your search is in progress…” also appears. But instead of forwarding me to the hit list, I end up in the empty search mask again. At the moment it is working normally again. Does anyone else have the problem or is it my problem?

  • Total economic damage – ASSISTANCE!

    Good evening dear Com, I had an accident (wasn’t guilty -> debt question clarified). The expert estimated 6942€ for the repair. Restitution value is 7550€. What possibilities do I now have to buy a new/used vehicle (from the dealer of course)? I find vehicles that would be priced in the frame, only I would have to make cuts in the equipment, let alone my subsequently bought rims, springs and multimedia equipment. I somehow avoid this “restitution value abstinent residual value mismatch”? Would you like to pay me the repair costs abstinently of the VAT and sell my accidenter himself, but that doesn’t work for anyone? Or do I always “just” come to this 7550€ replacement value? Hope you can help me further, don’t look through it any more. The expert says something different than my insurance broker,…. With kind greetings

  • Private used car sales buyer claims defects one day after!

    Hello all, I have a huge problem: I sold my Honda yesterday, as far as so good. Sales price 1550,- In the contract I “sold as seen” and excluded the withdrawal. Now one day later the seller arrives and sends me pictures of allegedly defective brake parts and a supposedly broken and welded front axle. This should come from a concealed accident. Lt his data total damage! After yesterday, today the brake is supposed to be fixed. By the way, I drove 2 weeks ago 900 km with the car in 2 days. There happened nothing more funny. I announced defects such as the rear crash and recorded them in writing. Brakes in front were renewed, so a rear renewal was excluded. He now refers to a cost contribution or he invoices me these costs + some towing fees, because the train allegedly is no longer suitable for traffic (tüv without having to make brakes at the front in the near future in July NEW) And brakes at the front have I renewed. What do I do now? Is this a fraud? He buys a similar car, he sold his previous one to have 10 Ps more?! Should I ignore this and let it happen to a possible litigation? That’s not so kosher. I hope I get quick advice here!
