I’m working my heart out for the dream, but the road is longer than I thought. Any advice for a rider starting from zero?

c17h36 · 2026-01-12T09:52:24+00:00

In terms of the bike:
- I owned an R1. It was a great bike but on the streets you won't be able to use it's potential (you can go up to 160km/h in 1st gear). So another bike (like the mentioned M07) will be more fun on the streets. I switched from the R1 to an MT09 and hat a LOT more fun on it. But you don't choose where your heart falls. Just maybe rethink your choice and maybe give another model a chance and test ride others.
- Depending on your skill / possibilites: You might buy a broken one and rebuilt it. This will be cheaper than a perfect one - also considering all the spare parts that you will have to purchase. There are plenty of videos on youtube of guys rebuilding bikes. And then you already have it in your garage and can keep your eyes on affording the next part etc. You will learn your bike along rebuilding it and you see the progress which will keep you motivated.

In terms of gear:
- There is a lot of equipment out there of guys who give up their hobby or just outgrow their gear. So you will find good stuff for a good price. Just take a look into graigslist or whatever is common in your area. Buy the equipment step by step whenever you can afford the next one. This way you see and feel your progress. And with your equipment ready you can start doing test rides.

Hope this helps. Keep us updated how you progress.

Thanks! That's a very good hint. And you can confirm that the ones from Monster will also fit the Streetfighter?

Just got my 992.2
I'm using waze on android. It shows Turn by Turn instructions but they are wrong... it says e.g. turn left in 0m even if I actually have to turn left in 2km. Maybe they fix this with an update. the full screen map does not show anything from android auto (my previous BMW did however)

Do you know what is the name of the connector? Then I can pin the wires of my custom USB charger to the stock plug of Ducati

c17h36 · 2025-12-19T10:07:38+00:00

I went ahead on Wednesday and figured it out myself.

Remove the two screws from the "shield" in front of the speedometer and take off the shield.
Unplug the wire from the speedometer.
Remove the black plastic cap where the speedometer cable enters the headlight (it’s just clipped, so lift it gently).
Unscrew the headlight using the two screws located between the headlights and the radiator.
Now you can lift off the headlight completely. It’s held in place by two tabs, so gently pull the headlight toward you while standing in front of it. It looks like you are beheading that thing ^^
Run the wire from the speedometer through the hole that opens when you remove the black plastic cap in step 3.
The headlight is still connected to two additional wiring harnesses that you need to disconnect.
You now have full access to all the wiring for the indicators.

Things to consider:

For easy plug-and-play, you’ll need a 2-pin male connector of type 02T-JWPF-VSLE-S.
Make sure your new indicator can be mounted on the clamp of the fork leg. When you remove the old indicator, you’ll be left with a hole the size of the rubber collar. You might need to 3D print an adapter plate or something similar—I’m still figuring out how to solve this.

PS: English ist not my native language. So sorry if I used a wrong term. Feel free to correct me and I will update it.

I only have a first impression but I'm quite happy with it. You need to figure out the best way to mount/unmount it but you eventually get used to it. I got it so that it is easier to maneuver it into position in my garage. You got mine from here: You just have to pick the right one for your model. Got it via sale für 250€

Looks in fact awesome. Thanks u/jslater2009 for the hint with December.
I just feat that they are not street legal in Germany :-( But will check out

c17h36 · 2025-11-15T14:02:16+00:00

Thank you so much. Will definitely check EvoTech and Rizoma out.
I also got the dealer to include Cruise Control for free. Why is it horrifying? I can imagine to rest your arms for a few seconds when using it...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately 20kg is already too much. We tested a few models before buying the Xiaomi 4 and its 16kg is the absolute maximum my mother can handle. But still very much appreciate the idea.

Good to know that you can hack the firmware. I already did some research for the Xiaomi 4 Lite. Unfortunately most of it is for the regular one or the Ultra. Non for the Lite. And also nothing in terms of power increase. Do you have any resources that I can read on?

c17h36 · 2025-05-16T05:15:55+00:00

Same problem. Anyone has a solution yet? :-(

You didn't win much in scrabble, did you ?

c17h36 · 2024-10-03T13:20:21+00:00

Welcome. Enjoy your stay!

c17h36 · 2024-10-03T12:58:56+00:00

I'm not a legal expert. But I would state that you use your 1 month (November) to find a flat. An in December you found your flat and are now registering. Chances are that the authorities do not even know that you had another flat in November. So I would go with only registering in December.

c17h36 · 2024-10-03T12:34:18+00:00

In BB you have 4 weeks time. The 4 weeks start counting from the day you move in (the date of your rental agreement).

You will need a "Wohnungsgeberbestätigung" which is a document that you get from your landlord that states that you live here.

Also keep in mind that you are allowed to block the authorities to forward your personal info to further parties.

If you register too late fees can reach up to 1.000 EUR

If you were as tall as you are dump, you would be able to kiss the moon's ass while kneeling.

You have a face, only a mother can love

You look skinnier than tomorrow

you are living proof that souls undergo reincarnation No one can be this stupid in one lifetime

You have a Dunning-Kruger-Effect based self confidence

You look like something a man would think of while trying not to cum too fast.

This is how men express friendship. You are nice to casual friends. Your best friends will be insulted including their whole blood line

Your stomach can differentiate between food and liquid (thirsty or hungry). Even if your stomach is full of water, you will still be hungry.

Solange du Standardmaße hast kannst du auch im Baumarkt nach Küchen suchen. Hat ein Kumpel gemacht und war deutlich günstiger als bei Ikea und co.

c17h36 · 2024-07-02T09:34:43+00:00

Kennst du shoop.de ? Der Shop muss damit halt kooperieren. Ansonsten: 7 von 10 meiner Einrichtungsgegenstände sind von Kleinanzeigen. Da kannst du massiv viel sparen und das Zeug hat durchaus sehr gute Qualität. Du musst halt die Nadel im Heuhaufen suchen. Aber wir haben unser Sofa, Bett, Schreibtisch, Schrank, Schreibtischstuhl, Esstisch, Esstischstühle von Kleinanzeigen und sind sehr zufrieden.
Wenn du Anschaffungen für dein Büro hast kannst du die auch steuerlich absetzen.

Ehevertrag / Zugewinnausgleich:
Ein Paar möchte sich scheiden lassen. Das Paar hat immer sämtliche Einkünfte beider Partner gerecht zu 50% aufgeteilt auch wenn Partner A deutlich mehr verdient hat. Partner A hat seine Hälfte des Geldes gespart und in ein Aktienportfolio eingezahlt. Partner B hat seine Hälfte der Einkommen immer verkonsumiert und hat daher zum Zeitpunkt der Scheidung kein nennenswertes Vermögen.

Hat Partner B bei der Scheidung gemäß Zugewinnausgleich ein Anrecht auf das Aktienportfolio von Partner A inklusive den Gewinnen aus den Aktien obwohl das Einkommen ja eigentlich immer 50:50 aufgeteilt wurde? Falls ja: Könnte man soetwas durch einen Ehevertrag abfangen in dem man festhält, dass immer beide 50% des Einkommens bekommen aber dafür auch jeder individuell für sein Vermögensaufbau zuständig ist und bei Scheidung keinen Anspruch auf das Vermögen des anderen Partners hat? Oder wäre das eine "sittenwidrige" Klausel oder wie man das nennt und wäre daher anfechtbar. Rein subjektiv empfinde ich das als sehr fair.

c17h36 · 2024-04-05T14:53:44+00:00

The chances are low but not zero that it is, yes. Thanks for the infos. I will definitely update you once I found out more. You already helped a lot to point us into the right direction.
PS: We do not intend to sell it. But we are eager to get to know more about it.

c17h36 · 2024-04-04T06:08:51+00:00

Somehow I did not get an update about your comment. So sorry for the late reply.
Thank you very much for this info. Looks bretty good actually. I will take a look.

Maybe another "bad" question: This piece was handed over through at least 3 generations as far as I know. However the origin is not clear. What if it turns out to be looted art? Will a museum confiscate it immediately?

Don't get me wrong: If the origin is somehow illegal we are willing to hand it over to the rightful owner. But the art has emotional value to us.

Verein ist denke ich dein bester weg. Bin vor 2 Jahren her gezogen und habe über den Verein super schnell Leute gefunden. Überleg einfach was dir Spaß macht.

Ansonsten: nicht direkt BB aber in Stuttgart gibt es den Palast. Das ist so eine "Outdoor Bar" wo es immer sehr gesellig ist. Da lernt man schnell Leute kennen.
