  • Newbie looking for protective clothing

    Hi all, I decided to learn to ride a motorcycle. I have already read a lot about protective clothing here, e.g. leather is safer but has comfort compared to textile clothing etc. That means I want to get a leather combi best two-parter. Also I need a helmet. Unfortunately I don’t know what I have to pay attention to here and what disadvantages I should have in view. E.g. field of view? Does it fit correctly? Press etc.? With Steifel just the same and with gloves. I’m going to get a naked bike after the driving school. Here I read for beginners that a 600 with ABS is always good. Different opinion? Also at the driving school is cheap and fast good. But competent teacher is better. What should I pay attention to during the training. The driving school I want to attend is the driving school that I want to attend. t own moped and record it on video for possible evaluations etc. In the conversation seemed to be competent to me.

  • EU customs and travel customers: Harley is crisising

    What do you think about the tariffs imposed on Harley Davidson by the EU? In any case, the revenues of the premium brand, as reported by the Spiegel today, are also breaking in in the USA. And the orange full post in the White House, which initiated the customs dispute, is raging. Under the report Spiegel-Forists write, among other things, that Harley’s technology is outdated and the clientele is lost, just the latter contributes to the downturn of the brand. Consecrated?

  • Extension of driving licence A1 ?

    Hello friends, I hope I’m writing here in the right forum. I made my A1 driver’s license at 18 at that time. Now I am 29 and would like to drive a big machine and hold the A driver’s license. In the past it was so that you could expand a1. Would that still go today? So that you don’t need many theory hours and driving hours. Does there know what more to do now? And maybe what would that cost about? I know every driving school is other but maybe one knows. Would I be happy about help / enlightenment Greetings Tobi

  • The chicks always ruin everything

    Yesterday I had the mood on the low point. The reason is certainly well known and already discussed here, nevertheless I would like to put him to the discussion: one of my dearest long-term friends and of all those who taught me to drive especially curves after the driver’s license, gets driving restrictions from his girlfriend, and also a ban is in the room. First came the son, then my friend built her a house and now she complains, he should the moto I think that’s very selfish and calculating. I mean, she met and accepted him as a motorcyclist and now that she tied him to herself, she wants to take away everything, even his favorite hobby. I don’t understand that. Is the motorcyclist the egoist, if he pursues a quite dangerous hobby, or is it the “suddenly” clinging partner, and how would you resolve the situation if you were affected?

  • Naked for beginners

    Hey dear community, for some time now I want to do the Fleppen for the driving licence class A (open) and so slowly it gets serious. However, I asked myself the question “What kind of bike should it become after the driving license purchase? “. I mainly appeal to the naked bikes, however, the selection is huge. First of all to my person, I am 24.5 years young, 193cm tall and weigh about 93kg. After I have searched the net for Naked bikes for bigger riders I am to d The decision to follow the advice of most of them, and simply sat at the regional two-wheeler test. There I sat due to the small selection only on an MV Agusta Brutale 800, a Suzuki GSX-S1000, GSX-S750 and SV650. Now to my conclusion. Both on the Brutale and the GSX-S1000 I found the sitting position pleasant. The SV650 and the GSX750 seemed quite small to me and also looked modest due to my size. I would like to start with such a large machine (GSX1000 or Brutale) as a beginner of the bike. However, the motorcycles with less engine capacity and performance seemed very small and uncomfortable. Now the question is, is there Naked Bikes, which are suitable for big starters? Or does a throttle make sense for the time being? I hope you can help me. Greetings Benedict

  • Move motorcycle “right safe” on the sidewalk

    Hi, neighbors suddenly complain after more than 12 years that, to get to the entrance to my garage, I drive a few meters above the very wide sidewalk. Background: The sidewalk in front of my entrance is not sufficiently lowered, since you can not ride up with a motorcycle, which is like mine hard-springed. So I drive at the neighboring house, whose sidewalk is lowered, up and the few meters over to my entrance. As said, never anyone interested Of course, I am very careful when there are pedestrians present. There were never any concrete problems, since the walkway is 3-4x as wide as a normal walkway. Can the landlord of the house warn me off? As far as I know, no, since the sidewalk is public. Since the complainants are in “my” rental house, I am not quite sure. What if I drive in the stepmpo? Or do I have to push the machine over with the engine switched off?

  • Speed Triple vs. Monster

  • Motorbike licence and motorcycle

    Hello together! I’m thinking about whether I should make the motorcycle driver’s license. But don’t know about it. So that would be 125 driving licences, so the machines that drive around 100km/h!? what would such a driver’s license cost about? what do you have to pay attention to? and which motorcycle is suitable for large people (1,95m)? the motorcycle should cost around 1500€.

  • Towing hitch and type-approval of trailers

    Hello, did someone have experience with something like this, maybe even built something like that and get it through the Tüv? What do I have to pay attention to when welding a trailer coupling so that the Tüv can get it to me. Would it be better to attach it to the rear wheel swinger or to the mounts for the Sozius footrests? And how bad is it to get an operating permit for a self-made trailer? Are brake/back/blink and license plate lights, the maximum width and Weight limits the only specifications or is there more to consider? Unfortunately, you can’t buy finished trailers for motorcycles in Germany, so I have to build it myself. Thank you very much in advance.

  • Survive the winter!
