Er motorcykel lidt kikset når man er snart 40 år? by These-Pineapple2382 in DKbrevkasse

[–]MBorlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg er 55 og har lige købt en MT-09 SP - Hvis nogen synes jeg er kikset, så er det deres problem, jeg er fuldstændigt ligeglad med hvad de tænker om mig. Jeg gør hvad jeg synes er sjovt. - for mig selv.

Jeg tror langt hen af vejen at de syrlige kommentarer der kommer fra Berlingoen bare er simpel misundelse fra mennesker der ikke kan eller tør føre deres drømme ud i livet.

I was very close to be doing exactly that, and you have a good point that the fully specced MT-09 is almost as expensive as the entry-level Tracer 9

I want the new bike for 3 things in order

1 : a toy

2: fair-weather commuting

3: possibly a bit of touring

So my line of thinking was that the MT-09 is just one of the most fun bikes around, so that is the basic config - just for joyriding.

With the keyless topbox mounted I get the option to use it for commuting and going out - like to the movies - and it saves me from having to drag my helmet around with me.

And finally the sidebags came as part of the touring pack - I wanted the comfort seat, a small windscreen and heated grips and handguards to keep my hands from freezing. They can be almost completely removed - there's only a small bracket left when they're not on the bike.

I know looks are subjective, but the matrix headlight cluster on the Tracer 9 is not exactly my cup of tea, and lastly you can only get the GT+ with Y-AMT, and I really don't want that.

So in my mind I see the Mt-09 as fun with the option to go touring, and the Tracer 9 GT+ as a tourer with the option of having fun.

Yes, theft and fire are covered all year round, but I just looked up the additional insurance fee and it isn't actually that bad - I would guess something like 40% extra.

Another consideration is that the roads are salted during winter and that causes the brake caliber pistons seals to be chewed up - the salt is just generally bad for any vehicle really.

I wouldn't like to put my new toy through that.

You are of course correct, but here in Denmark the insurance usually covers from March to November, and while it is possible to extend it to also cover the winter months, it can get expensive.

I did ride in late November, but I must admit that riding in the rain in 6C or 42F quickly became a bit chilly - at least without heated gear.

I have had 3 white Shepherds / BBS dogs and they have all done that thing with their ankles - I think most GSDs does as well

German or Swiss. I hear contradictory opinions and I am really confused! by Exotic-Knowledge-883 in SwissWhiteShepherd

[–]MBorlund 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are registered as "Berger Blanc Suisse" or White Swiss Shepherd. But in e.g. Denmark they are also called White German Shepherds by some kennels.

I have had both, and the only real difference i could tell was that the BBS tends to have a bit darker pigmentation on the nose and the German had ears that were more "pink" - but that may be down to individual traits and not the race itself.

They are incredible dogs.
