  • Bye season, goodbye with smiles.

    This year, it seems, the summer 2013 and thus this year’s motorcycle season, with bright sunshine and great temperatures. Dear November pedestrians! Think of the year-round riders with regret when you push your planer into the garage on 01.11.2013 – we torture ourselves still for a while through the road traffic… *Towel rich

  • Looking for Vario financing or financing via Porsche or directly via check24?

    Hello all together I’m thinking of getting a porsche cayenne turbo 2018. Now I can’t decide if I should take the Vario financing from sixt now via Porsche or directly via check24? Oh yes 120k € I can directly pay 160k € the car costs. So with Vario financing I can only pay 40% with the others I can enter the amount directly only then the month financing is higher than with sixt. I know this at sixt after the 3 years ago. neither the car can return or can continue to finance or can pay directly everything. So it makes more sense to get the car over sixt?

  • Bike (roller) for the city

    Servus, as the title already says, I am looking for a small bike (possibly also a scooter) for the city and short cross country distances. (also often two times) I have a 600er standing at home, but it is just too big for me for the ride to the university, fast times to the city, shopping etc.. Had a 50er scooter before that, but this was sold because you didn’t get in traffic. Thought now on a bike or scooter from 125cc. Since the money is not so thick, I would want to spend a maximum of 1400. What kind of models would you recommend to me? Had I looked at the Yamaha YBR 125 at the bikes and would also get it from 900-1300. But also the Suzuki GN 250 is in my eye. But what about a bike of 96? Do they still do what or are you often in the workshop? Have no screwdriver skills at all and just want to have a robust, economical and inexpensive vehicle. With the scooters I have the Honda SHi125, the Dylan 125 and d he Daelim Otello looks at 125 versions with injector. Oh yes, with some 125 Choppers I only see a speedometer, not a tachometer. How do you find out the switching points there? And what about the danger of too high speeds? You don’t notice it if you would come into the “red range “. Or can you not get these motors so high, since they lock off before? Thanks already for the infos Greetings

  • Motorcyclists and their hand signs

    Hello dear two-wheeler colleagues! The most well-known communication sign, which even can drivers know, is the typical biker greeting. Two or more bikers meet and stretch out the left hand and/or arm, according to the motto “Hey, Hello buddy”. Besides this greeting sign I know more: 1. the turn signal is still on => left hand and several times in a row a fist ball and open again or instead of the fist a mouth movement imitating with the hand 2. After the overtaking process, take the right leg from the rest and stretch out or stretch out the right hand down 3. Obstacles on the road => in the case of an obstacle on the right side of the road, stretch out the right foot and, in the case of a left obstacle, stretch out the left foot (alternatively point with the left hand on it) 4. show other road users that they should drive slower (Gr and: Radar control, accident site ect.) => left hand stretch out and wave with the flat hand several times up and down 4. let a faster biker (traffic participant) pass => left arm stretch out and wave with the hand from the back to the front But there seems to be a whole series of more hand signs. I attached two pictures which show further variants and at youtube there are some videos (mainly English) on this topic. I would be interested now. How do you have experienced rabbits with the hand signs. Are you familiar with these signs and do you use them or do you have your own creations?

  • Heidfeld has a big problem : Kubica

    Would say that Nick Heidfeld has had a big problem since the beginning of the season: – No, I don’t mean this ridiculous “forest man-bart” in connection with this “extremely terrible arm iron goggles” that do not stand the young man and an athlete’s model at all and in its unkept way also does not fit the BMW brand, – no – I mean his teammate Robert Kubica, who with the same material himself as set number 2 driver the “good” Nick is driving around the nose in a very impressive form. I also mean to observe that N.H. is not so friendly and willing to provide interviews for information, I think the last “sympathetic” interview took place after last season….(is now abet only a personal view ): Old saying: “Happiness comes before the case….” The fact is: With the performances he catapults RAUS from the team and especially at BMW you will not tolerate it for long. So, dear Nic k , shave this cucumber from your face , maybe the fattened weight is enough for one or another tenth of a second ….. dsu Nevertheless: I like the nick , not misunderstand , …but he has to come up with something right now.

  • Unit motors in formula1

    Hi, in order to discuss the topic maybe without polemics, here is a survey. Multiple answers are not possible Make unit motors sense? Toyota and also Ferrari have categorically opposed it. Are they right or not? Should each team build its own engines? I remember the time of Cosworth when almost the whole field was driving with this engine Should the engineers be allowed to let off steam? The technology should be in focus here. If any of you want a survey to be made here, please contact the moderator team and we will be happy to post a survey on a given topic.

  • The best 100 F1 pilots of all time

    So that the eternal discussions about the best pilots do not constantly play out in the individual race threads, here is a small hang-up and suggestion for a future pool in this regard:http://jalopnik.com/…/…ss-number-one-in-list-of-top-100-f1-drivers Finally a topic where it can’t go on and on more subjectively. For example, I don’t agree with about 80 positions. But don’t do anything. it individual author. Salut Alfan

  • Purchase advice: Piaggio Fly 125 or Honda PCX 125

    Moin Moin, I’d like to buy a 125 scooter. I’ve already got some information in advance and I got stuck with the following two scooters: Piaggio Fly 125, 2016 version new for 2,500€ Honda PCX 125, new for 2.90€ About 10 years ago I had a Fly 100, which was a bit undermotorized, but nevertheless I liked it quite well. Dangers will be 90% city and each 5% country road and highway. The Honda should be very well processed and run for a long time without problems, but it s I’m 1.88m tall, I weigh 90kg and will drive 99.9% of the time alone. There are many reports and YouTube videos about the PCX, but I couldn’t find much of the newer / newest Fly model. Maybe someone is driving a newer Fly 125 and can give me some feedback about this? Difficult decision, I hope you can help me. Greeting Julian

  • Motorcycle transport USA and sale on site?

    Hello together Since I haven’t found a lot of clever things about the search yet, the following question arises: I would like to do a bigger motorcycle tour in Canada+USA in about a year (about 3-5 months). Rent is therefore not worth it def.. After having rummaged a little bit on American used motorcycle boards, I came to the conclusion that a purchase of a R 1200 GS or adventure on site probably not worthwhile, since I get these here cheaper. I also put it mi ergo: buy here and then ship. The costs for this (about 1200-1400 Euro) are still within the scope. 1. Question: Has a tip on a forwarding company or even had good experience with one? 2. Question: Is it possible to sell the mopped in the USA, so basically to import it? Are dealers ready to pay something decent for it (incl. conversion to milestacho etc.) ode r it’s more worth sending the bike back to Europe? I hate to do the latter, because the trip should then continue with other means of transportation (South America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia). So I don’t want to go home to be able to sell the box again and then continue the trip… Thanks for your help in advance
