Thank you :) It sure is a beautiful city, I just can't seem to find me some curves, they must all be in hiding
Head north, there's plenty beautiful roads in the 'Holsteinische Schweiz' - and you can take a refreshing bath in the Baltic!
I will! I only saw some roads around Hamburg with my driving teacher and maybe one or two curves that would classify for one but I will get a bike later this or early next month and I'll have my vacation then, how convenient :) So I'll have plenty of time to do some excursions :)
I'm not quite sure yet since I have to test drive them, to see what works and what not. But I have my eyes on either a BMW F800R or a Honda CBF600s, or something else... I think the BMW would be more fun, but is also more expensive. But since I want to use the bike on a daily basis and for vacation, I think the CBF would be a closer fit (for the vacation part), if I want to get the BMW touring ready, I think I have to put more money in the BMW.... I saw some Hondas for around 5 to 6k€ including panniers and heated grips, that would be nearly half the price of a BMW with the same configuration... Another big plus for the Honda would be, that I could pay it in cash and not have to finance half of it... Edit: Test went easy, had a relaxed auditor and an easy ride, just 20 min Autobahn and 10 min on country roads :)
Heh :) If riding to Austria, you can leave a PM if i have the time at that point maybe we can meet up for some ride-together. Yea Erzberg, someday i will do that with my Transalp! greetings
Thanks :) Not really, we went immediately from the TÜV to the Autobahn (took maybe 4 minutes), then some kilometers on country roads and then a little bit in Norderstedt straightforward to a parking lot, where we changed drivers (it was a "double test") and he could drive through all the 30kmh areas, stop signs, and right before left areas, incl. some crosswalks. I had nothing from that sorts, I only had to watch out for speed limits and red lights My driving teacher couldn't believe it, it must have been my lucky day
Not really new to the forum. I used to be on when I lived in Turkey. Anyway I just picked up a 2013 F800GS and am looking for fellow adv riders. I am a military dependent living in the k-town area, so I have a lot of time during the week to hit up those roads that are closed to motorcycles on the weekends.
AAAaaand another one! My name is Chris and from the boring north of Germany! I´m riding a F650 during wintertime and my beloved british Lady for the better times of the Year I´m about to do my "Polar-Express-Tour" to North Cape and back in these upcoming vacations and will be glad about any Tips and hints!:) yours
Howdie, I`m Franklin from beautiful Eifel area (10km from Nuerburgring). Most of the time I´m living and working in Kabul. Actually I own two sidecar motorbikes, a BMW K1100 and a Ukrainian KMS (Dnepr) MB 750. Kind regards from Kabul
Hi Mike, thanks - I'm in Green Village in Kabul as civilian member of EUPOL Afghanistan (European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan). Unfortunately no biking possible here due to security regulations although I really would appreciate to explore the country with a dual sports. Kind regards from Kabul
Hey Franklin, I wasn't far from Green Village, at Camp Phoenix, but also at Camp Warehouse for the joint missions and TF work. I ran into a couple of EUPOL cops, working with the ANP. Yeah, some of the roads are made for dual sports, like up north to Bagram...:eek1 haha. Would be no fun riding over an IED... Stay safe and keep up the good work! Mike
The quoting doesn"t work for me from this PC, so.. @leChris: I did that trip, to the Northcap, 2012 also with an friend of mine, if you have questions let me know. Cheers
Can anyone recommend a decent insurance company -- preferably one that might be able to offer service in English? Thanks.
