Meal people, on Friday I finally pick up my machine. From there it is quite exactly 390 KM home for me – and then in the rain, according to weather forecast. I belong rather to the type of careful driver and will not become a corner-wreather during my life anyway. So far I have driven quite well with it. I haven’t driven in the rain since my driver’s license. That has two reasons: 1. I have never been with mopped on vacation (but should change). 2. So far beautifulwetterf now this thought has settled itself with me that road wet + slanting = slides and automatic fall. I can’t explain it, but I think that every time. I don’t remember the time of travel. In addition, the F800GS is delivered with the Pirelli Scorpion Trail and this tire is criticized again and again in wet weather. Now you can imagine that I’m a little nervous. I’m not one of the professionals with popometer, back I’m just driving. Any tips, next to the raincomb? Highway will be hell ^^ Thank you very much in advance.

Push or lay?
Hello, I mean to remember that in driving school theory lessons the two techniques of pressing and laying were addressed. It was presented in such a way that one should usually always lie in the curve. The pressing should only be used for emergency situations, e.g. if one goes out of the curve and one does not make it anymore. But now I have read the other day, the pressing and laying are two different driving styles. Since I am still a bloody beginner, I am just testing the same of course I don’t dare to put myself strongly in bends. Accordingly, I find pressures much more pleasant, because my head stays straighter and I don’t feel like a fall. Now my question: can you always drive with pressure technology? Or would that be too risky? Shouldn’t that mean that I am absolutely not in the curve, but not as much as it would be possible. What do you think about it? Funnyly, I have more “Earrings Respek” when driving under the mountain. T” than when climbing up the mountain. Shutting down somehow feels more unpleasant, since I don’t mean to have the feeling for the machine here.

Navi for international routes
Hi! I wanted to ask myself about a Navi. Next year a colleague and I would like to do a tour to Scandinavia. I would need a Navi. I had thought of a TomTom, because that was really the “better” for me so far, but I always hear more and more that Garmin would be the better decision after all. What experiences do you have with Navis? Which would you recommend?

Despair Motorcycle Search
Hello to each other, after my KTM 690 SMC-R 17′ last year became unindebted to total damage I am looking for a bike again, but unfortunately am despairing. To me: 21 years 2.03 meters tall ???? For sporty, 87kg A driving licence Budget: max. 10,000€ Max 15,000km I like modern, sporty bikes, the performance should fit to the bike, no tourers :/all-round would be important to me, why all highly motorized bikes fall out ( unless you buy one for around 6,000€, then I paid 300€ for the SMC-R for example (March-November). I’ve already tested the new 19′ SMC-R, which unfortunately doesn’t fit at all, as significantly lower and simply boring feedback (how softly washed, made for everyone) I’ve looked at so far: 19′ 690 SMC-R / 701 SM Yamaha MT-09 750er Gixxer K6,K7, K8 CBR 1000RR SC57 1290 Superduke R (Unfortunately completely priceless -> that’s why out) Unfortunately none of the bikes fit 100%> I’m driving out of the box. meßlich Landstraße, mostly a short round (1h) in the evening or on the weekend, but then quite times up to 300km In the curves I am, without wanting to specify, mostly faster than most, straight on max 160km/h, faster is simply bullshit on the road. Super athletes are in question despite my size (example Youtuber Meddes) Hope you still have a few suggestions. I spend hours on mobile, YouTube and in forums for days, but just don’t get warm. Thank you in the Vora us for your help The left to greet! ??

Road tires on a road bike?
Drive an old 750ger Moto Guzzi Breva and I went out the other day and on a dirt road. With stretched legs. Because I would otherwise have gone into the ditch. I would need new tires anyway, and I thought if I should make off-road tires like Scrambler. So not crass tunnels, but so trail/rally, light off-road. Whatever the names are. 110/70 and back 130/80 by the way. My questions: Does this make sense with a road bike (or e.g. a 750ger Breva)? Is that a lot more wear on normal roads with their curves? Is that much higher? Is that a bad thing? (Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t want to put a café-scrambler on, nor do I want to drive off-road, nor do I have any good tips on which model to change. I’m driving the Guzzi, which I keep as well. I just want to make my everyday bike a little more suitable for everyday use. And since I live in the province of Upper Bavaria, everyday life here is sometimes called “non-fixed-paths”. By the way, I never drive faster than 140 anyway, nor on the highway, because there is no more going on with this Guzzi either. Thank you for your feedback …

Driving modes: pearls in front of the swine?
I don’t know how you can do this: I don’t have any driving modes, just my gas hand. And every time I test new moppeds, I get confronted with setting up the driving mode. At Rain – Road and Sport I can keep up with it: Put the part on Full in principle. Last time I messed up a photo session in the grounds because I wanted to plow up the slope with a big dirt flag, and there was traction control in it (KTM). And that was so good in the menu that I didn’t know how to do it. And the new Fireblade, I am completely overwhelmed. Not with the power now, which is fortunately still right controllable, but with the 4 positions starting aid 5 x power, 3 x motor brake, 3 wheelie stages, 2 x ABS, and 9 times traction control are these after Adam Riese 1620 setting options…for one who regularly forgets his smartphone somewhere. So for me “pearls in front of the acid”

HeadUp display for the helmet
Good morning, yesterday I had a conversation with a friend on the topic HeadUp-Display for the helmet again. So somewhere in 2003 or 2004 it was a big drumming, because the Schumi-Ralle should get such a thing transplanted into its marble – stupidly in the F1, not in the mopped sport… What has become of it? It is still hard to believe that there should be nothing on the market, the technology is now no longer new… Since someone has meh Information?

Little Christmas Action
Hello and sorry, that the “comish mopped collector” comes to the floor again, I see unfortunately no other possibility, the forums are unsuitable and the FB’ler don’t want that. I cleaned up. At the same time two Nubuk leather jeans have appeared again, which I prefer to give away to those who don’t have it so thick and maybe still are looking for a Christmas gift for the kids. The pants are made of brown nubuck, new and unweared, but with 27 inches or 64 cm T aille circumference rather only suitable for slender children. Length can be varied by simple cutting. If you want one, PN to me.

I don’t understand my driving school meh r.

ABS – The exact benefits?
Hi! I decided to upgrade my first bike with ABS due to your postings (will probably be a Honda CBF 600 – with optional ABS). Now I had a discussion yesterday with a few (not bikers) friends about ABS on bikes: cars with ABS do not necessarily have the shorter braking distance (on gravel it gets longer – otherwise ideally a little shorter), but you can drive around obstacles – to say it in one sentence. Who wants to go into detail would have much more to say. Wi e is it now with mopeds? OK, the rear wheel will prevent the ABS from blocking. Is it probably advantageous in curves so that the rear wheel does not break out. How about the front wheel: It would lift one out of the saddle before you block. And at all: is it possible to block the front wheel when braking at all? The physical process of a stopper probably speaks against it… And what does ABS have for bikes exactly for advantages? I ask myself the question, because I am not interested in Maybe think about buying a used Hornet 600. But it doesn’t have ABS. And as a beginner, I should rather rely on safety. If you find the questions something very inexperienced: True! I’m only making the appearance – but everyone has to start one day…
