  • Economic commuting – second car?

    Hello in the round, I like to drive my SLK and have a total of about 30000 km per year, which I rewind. Originally it was planned to drive only 15-20000 km from this year, but it is clear that it will stay at the 30000 km. Now the SLK for commuting is somehow too bad and also too expensive for me, so I am currently thinking about whether a reorientation to the shuttle car e.g. a golf and the SLK to a pure seasonal vehicle to register for only a few thousand kilos A cheap bang falls away because I will spend a lot of time in the car and also not have the nerve often to stand in the workshop, as was the case with me before. Rather a young used person prefers me, as long-term investment, because my constellation of living, work and stable=hobby can not be brought under one hat except by commuting. Has any of you already had good experiences with holding a summer car and a kilometer car I’d like to talk to Eva.

  • Leasing return – what to do?

    Hello together, My BMW 220d Coupè is about to return the lease and there are a few points where I could use a few tips very well. It’s about what work I prefer to do in advance. 2) Inspection is due 4/2018 (see photos). I’ll hand over the car this month, do I have to pay for it? If I turn on the car is there inspection: 8000km 04/2018 but not in red. 3) I have a tiny dent on the trunk, scratching r on the rims and a scratch on the dashboard – make or let? Thank you so much for your tips and help!!

  • Large feet or foot position at slanting position

    Servus, have had the experience several times last weekend that my feet are somehow in the way in slanting positions. Once after turning ambitiously accelerated and failed when trying to turn up because I did not come under the gear lever. And again I had to push the motorcycle in the curve again (because I had been a little pent) and at the same time I am put up somehow so unfavorably with the depth tip that I in slanting position (probably) the chassis so i Now I am not sooo the foot giant with a shoe size 46 and the Street Triple actually has a good ground clearance. Which leads me to the assumption that I can improve my foot position even more. Basically I always have the foot-balls on the rests. Penibel however now I do not pay attention to the position. I could theoretically still – further back (i.e. foot-tips on the rests), – white but both (just the latter) seem very unnatural to me, as it causes the tips of the feet to be further inside and the verses to the outside, and also feels the bottom of the feet to be angled inwards. If it is also the very narrow profile/tank of the street. I have to pay attention to it very consciously, and since you drive most curves rather normal (=less slanting position), you will quickly become careless after a few minutes. Seen and something like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYokV0DyBsI what for country roads but doesn’t look so comfortable now (not to mention the hangoff). Further alternative would be to move the footrests up, which on the one hand would be too much effort and probably not so tingling because of the sharper knee angle. Besides, I didn’t put on the footrests either, vlt. it is the wrong way anyway. More opinions? Who knows the problem, what do you do there?

  • Suitable motorcycle for small people 🙂

    Hello dear biker, I have already read many reports and here are many entries, from people who are also looking for a motorcycle. Now I also belong to this, so I want to ask you about your opinion and advice. So I am 17 years old and now make my motorcycle driver license. I am looking for a suitable motorcycle for me now, my conditions are: Cadre drive ABS low seat (I am 1.60cm / small) Tourer (at least I want with the Moto I’m 17 years old, I’m 51kg and I’m 1.60 tall.

  • Grand Tourisme

    Dear Forum, Would like to take advantage of your purchase advice at this point, as threatened elsewhere. First of all to me, medium-sized and rather “strong” or better said, now overweight. Slowly I let myself be seduced by the sirens, who say “dew room, relaxed sliding, forget the rain comb, warm your hands and even the butt…” I have always driven extreme distances with the motorcycle (naked or half-shell). t rather condescendingly looked down at drivers of cruise steamers: half cars, no wind on the skin, toys for old people Meanwhile, some colleagues start thinking about GT’s, some have already changed. Gas spring legs, seating comfort, weather protection…and with some of these mastodonts you get half-way around the curve. Which is the best? Who has the best price/performance? How is it with the ground clearance? How does it look on dirt roads… In advance thanks for eu experience, mfG, TDI

  • Become a biker?

    Hello dear biker, I’ve been reading around for a while now and now I have to ask myself my question(s): I want to do the A, or A2 with my young 17 years (in 3 months 18) and ride a motorcycle. The problem with the thing, I need help with a couple of decisions. And this: 1. The equipment: (~500€) Of course is, helmet, gloves, a pair of pedals (which?) And my biggest problem are the clothes: 1/2 divider, leather is plastic? (brand?) *Please around Beg 2nd driver’s license (~1300 €) I have little experience with my B (17) driver’s license, driving a 50 cc scooter for 2 months. 3. The mopped (max 3000€?) My absolute dream mopped is the Daytona 675, but the first motorcycle I think is bullshit, since I would visit the next guardrail already on the 2nd day. Do you have recommendations here? I will then have to drive at most 48ps or 500cc/ a throttled machine. r Look etc. I love a bit with the 650sv, the “small” Susi. What do you think? I’m relatively big and heavy at 1.85 and about 85kg. What do you think? Are my prices realistic? Ask for your own opinions, experiences and recommendations. Greetings from Berlin!

  • Berlin – NRW (Düsseldorf) BAB or Landstrasse?

    Hello all, I have only had the A-Schein since November 2012, but have already driven almost 3000km in the city and sometimes short day trips. Now I have to from Berlin to Düsseldorf to load there on the car train to Narbonne. From Hamburg unfortunately no more places left. What do you recommend to take a regular day holiday and drive the country roads from Berlin to Düsseldorf relaxed, or to bring BAB and in 5-7 hours the whole thing behind me? Man can stop with the weather in Deutschand this year never be safe. So if rain, then then rather highway.

  • First fall… during driving hours…

    Today it was so far, I had a preparatory driving hour or one of the last driving hours before the test and after about 20 minutes driving it put me down in a curve.. The road was contaminated, therefore I was distracted and did not look into the curve course. I was also nervous because my driving instructor has something to complain about, even if I drive 20km/h too slowly on the country road he makes pressure. Anyway I drove into the grass and fell there. approx. 60km/h, for me glamourously, just a few big scratches on my body, but the bike didn’t look so good anymore. My instructor at least behaved well, he asked me how I was doing and then pushed the bike aside, after that came the embarrassing silence. When I asked for an insurance from him for the motorcycle he said that he didn’t have something like that. Now I feel even more fucked up. Well, I’m doing so well, but it’s just extremely annoying and I’m not looking forward to the next driving lesson at all, let alone the test I would have had next week. Have you ever fallen for a driving lesson and what did you do afterwards? PS: Was a 125cc machine, am 16.

  • Fictitiously billed game damage/repair in self-service – Do I have to pay back????

    Hello, I would like to get some information about the following: – Wild damage to my own car – Damage has been taken up by the police, the regulation by my insurance has already been carried out. – I have repaired the car myself and will continue to use it in the long term An expert appointed by the insurance company has determined the following: Replacement value: 4680€ gross residual value (according to the offer vehicle utilization operation): 3230€ gross excess: 15 0€ The insurance has fictitiously settled with me. Got 130€. WBW -RW -SB = 130€ As far as so good. Now the insurance sent me the same expert to check my car. Now I found out during the repair of my car that one thing is not defective and I made parts also needed. To the point, I repaired everything in everything more cheaply! Now I have the fear that the afterwards I have to pay back because I have to Is everything replaced by new parts or have not repaired everything that is written in the report (because it is not necessary). Can they debit me again so without further money? As said, it was fictitiously billed before! Thanks already for an answer!

  • Accident after a lane change

    Hello I’ve had my first traffic accident yesterday I’m still in the trial period.So I was on a 2 lane road on the right lane and left next to me drove a golf plus and wanted to change the lane to the right because I was at her in the dead angle (most likely) or she didn’t look in the mirror, she hit me on the left side.Now the question what comes to me now as the police there was meant who changed the lane always adheres to In addition, the driver of the golf had a plaster on the right hand and was also noted by the police not to drive at all.Do I have in this situation right or can the woman refuse to do so she is quite clearly hit me right when changing track but thinks however that I would have driven faster than 50 kmh. And damage case with my car are clear scratchers and paint cracks she has a few small scratchers at the front right???? so yesterday I was also at the gutach ten office and there you meant me if the woman doesn’t give up now that she wanted to turn that she did but as far as I can remember was also the police there it may be that the whole thing can’t be told the other way around.Now my question what happens now as a näcshtes I got the car review and they said they want to get the files from the police is there everything in it who’s right or how is the whole thing and how would it go out for me the police even told me that I am right because they change their track and have full guilt but if the police has not noted and the golf driver refuses to tell the whole vice versa what happens then or what do you see the chances from experience??? I please answer mfg doris
