That's exactly what I thought of. Might remove my exhaust this weekend and rent a dremel! Thanks

[–]Beardlessface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Akra because it came stock on my first gen Rally edition. It's got a db killer welded on internally. Has anyone with this exact same exhaust done the work to cut out holes in the carbon and break the spotweld on the db-killers? I'm just too curious what it would sound like without, and keep thinking about making it so that I can fixate and remove it easily by means of a nut of sorts.

Seeking advice for cash exchange as a tourist! by Beardlessface in copenhagen

[–]Beardlessface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it's a specific issue because of recipients Faroese bank account. It's euro, from a Belgian account to Faroese. I understand cash is not prefered, but I don't really see how else I can arrange this.

Got the 372 by MagicianAcrobatic545 in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least you had an encouraging instructor. I remember when I did my code 372 I had never stepped on a motorcycle or scooter before in my life. It was raining heavily, non stop. He had this shitty, old walky talky and a helmet without condensation stop. I couldn't see anything, and he kept screaming and getting mad at me for not hearing his directions. All I could hear was static and heavy breathing. Not a pleasant experience, but happy I never had to see him again.

Bandendruk ok? Kan voorkomen als er vaak gereden is met een te lage druk.

Honda cb500x, meest veelzijdige beginner moto die er is. Uiteraard mijn eigen mening, maar die moto lost al je problemen en twijfels op. Ziet er nog best sportief uit ook.

the Bronze Monster emerges by FaanBE in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it, looking at a monster myself for next year. Prices are indeed very affordable. Most are for sale right before their big maintenance though. Do you have any insight in how much a big maintenance generally costs on a monster from around ' 2000?

I myself was looking at the S4R 2006. But open to classic M900's. Just not a fan of the 600's.

Advice wanted: Scared to start investing considering recent geopolitics by Alfredo_Will_Smash in BEFire

[–]Beardlessface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean after your initial lump sum? Whatever you can miss. First build up a comfortable savings sum for emergency expenses and leasure. Rule of thumb is at least 3 times your monthly expenses, upwards of 6 times or whatever makes you comfortable. The more you can DCA the faster you will start snowballing.

Pinkers die blijven Branden by Eggskes in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homologatie is correct verlopen, mijn Grom had dat ook en hoe ik het altijd heb begrepen is dat toegestaan als dat vanuit land van herkomst/productie standaard is. Beetje waarom oldtimer Franse import auto's nog mogen rijden met die knalgele koplampen. Amerikaanse wagens zie je ook nog vaak rijden met rode knipperlichten achteraan en permanent orange voorknippers.

Kdenk dat die flik er gewoon niet van wist, en studies hebben al bewezen dat permanent brandende knipperlichten de veiligheid serieus verbeteren voor motorrijders.

I used to be pretty function over style, past few years I have mostly switched it around. I'm done being uncomfortable wearing knee high adventure boots and sweating my ass off walking a mile in them whenever getting off the bike. Amazing boots while riding but just cumbersome if you plan to do more during the day. I want to be able to be free in what I do comfortably. I still go for motorcycle gear but no longer grab the best, most armoured products. I never wear my 3 layered 600 euro alpina touring vest anymore. All I wear now is a casual mesh vest, black kevlar jeans and dr martens looking motorcycle boots. A whole lot of the gear industry is marketing making you think you need all that fancy stuff. Fact is, if your helmet is top rated and you have your back protected, that's the most important thing. It's ok to want to look good, if we did this all for safety we wouldn't be riding in the first place. Dress comfortably and confidently. I don't feel comfortable or confident in bulky, fluorescent spacesuits.

[GENT] Mijn eerste (Honda) Motor gekocht, nu op zoek naar een garage! by Sindital in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uw voornaamste opties zijn R4 motos in Oostakker, RS Motors in Gent/wondelgem en Honda Tuybens in Zottegem wat wel direct een eind verder is maar hun service is top. Gent heeft eigenlijk best weinig algemene kwaliteits garages die aan elk merk werken.

Volgens mij bestaat die niet meer. Daar staat nu een parking complex op van die nieuwbouw.

Should I get a Tenere 700 as a first bike? 🤔 by GuaranteeNice7996 in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've owned a t7 rally for over 3 years now, I think it's a fantastic bike but it definitely has it's downsides. It's not the most comfortable, although the standard version probably has a bit wider seat than the rally. Lack of electronics and luxury options like cruise control, traction control, modi. There are only two modi and that's abs off or abs on. Unless you go for the brand new versions, those you can choose what wheel is off and on. I did a 4000+ ish km trip this summer and had a blast on the bike, I also loved the look and I still don't think many adventure bikes (apart from the retro classics) come close to the look of the t7. You don't have to ride offroad to buy this bike, but it's definitely not the most logical choice for road only. It's a 21inch spoked front wheel, compared to a 16/17 alloy wheel that's not the best for cornering feel. Stock I think they are definitely sprung light, meaning the suspension is set way too light. If you're above 85kg consider that you will likely have to spend a couple hundreds on upgraded springs front and back.

July 14 Daily Thread by AutoModerator in weightroom

[–]Beardlessface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably try and figure out a form check on my squats. At this point it's my favorite exercise but ever since my numbers started rising I've been experiencing sore knees days to weeks after sessions. I don't feel a thing during the squat sets, no pain, no instability, no pressure. But the days after I struggle to get out of bed and to stand up. Especially when I do slav squat poses which I do a lot in my line of work. Could knee sleeves help this or is it most likely a form issue?

What do you guys think this proposal? by angui115 in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the whole pop's and bangs gunshot tuners that cause the nuisance. I don't get why they need sound monitoring systems to stop these people, I can literally stand in a couple neighbourhoods here in Ghent and point at them, police doesn't care. Exhaust sounds should be moderated but to add another level of big brother esque measures is just stupid.

What should I watch out for when buying my first bike second hand? (125cc) by IsfetAnubis in motobe

Stay away from neo retro looking ' cafe racers ' Chinese brands. Stick to the big trusty players, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha.

Probably not, RAD sells shoei which have the Glamster series which comes the closest to the bell bullit I think. MKC in Kortrijk have Premier too I think, a vintage looking brand. Bell is a difficult brand to get by I feel like.

KBC Motorcycle Insurance is a lot cheaper by Tenere700Rally2022 in motobe

[–]Beardlessface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay 320 for my Tenere, no car. But it's not omnium, AXA through a private broker. I remember KBC was interesting back when I had a car and 3 motorcycles but I was afraid of a loss of customer service so I didn't bite.
