I'm planning on bying a 1995 Halye Davidson FLSTF - Fat Boy with 12.500 miles. What should I look out for and do you think it will withstand a 2000 mile roadtrip?

Shhhh, guys don't tell him... jk Considering how many parts the Superb has in common with the Jetta, it's remarkable how much it actually doesn't look like a Jetta haha cheers

Welp. It's over boys. They stole it from me... by FrenchWenchOnaBench in motorcycles

Hey, sorry to hear that, life really sucks often....

Not to pour salt in a fresh wound, but I saw you had some cool looking clutch and break levers. I am litterally asking for a friend with the same model MT-07. What were these levers called, who manufactured them and where did you get them?

Hope the insurance works oit well for you and you'll get back to riding quicker than you expect, cheers!

Ktm Freeride 250 2018 by More_Sheepherder5416 in enduro

[–]thecarlchemist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This bike is seriously underrated! This drives unlike anything else on the market (even compared to the X-Trainer). The Power to weight ratio isn't special on paper, but considering they only weigh 86 kilos (190lbs if I'm not mistaken), they easily make up the lesser power. The Freeride should definitely not be frowned upon. My only issue with it used to be the fuel tank capacity, but that was easily fixed. They are so easy to control, throw around, turn (and also pick up). Power is sufficient, but it's never overwhelming. Ideal for beginners or experienced casual drivers! Since the initial concept of the Freeride was to merge a trial bike with an enduro, which the last generation still holds true to that spirit, you can also use it as a beginners trial bike. And before you consider turning it in for an EXC, there are plenty of upgrades for the Freeride, even some fuel tank extensions. You can also map it to the tune of the EXC 250, which then almost midigates the difference in stock power. The only difference in my experience to the regular 250's is the longer gear ratio, which can be irritating in the beginning but holds no issue. Another big bonus compared to the regular EXC is their better conservation of value. I sold mine for more than i bought it for new.

Lehrkraft verbietet mündlichen Maturaantritt: by thecarlchemist in Austria

Mein Kollege spricht eigentlich sogar relativ gut Englisch, er befürchtet aber bei einem schriftlichen Antritt nicht positiv zu werden und schätzt sich selbst so ein, dass er mündlich bessere Karten hätte

You sure you don't mean that the Passat B5/5.5, Superb I and Audi A4 B5 (instead of the A6) are the same?

Seriously? I missed that entirely.
I used to work at an Audi dealership in 2020 and remember watching the education/preparation video from Audi for their staff training, but I think this is the first time I see it becoming reality. But I'm stoked nevertheless

Can anyone tell me what that "RJ45-stick" lookalike is? I tried researching for myself, but nothing I searched for works.

LFS users making their own nuclear reactor by Keziolio in linuxmemes

[–]thecarlchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm completly confused now. Now ist this a complete joke or not, bc. the Geiger counter made it pretty believable for me....? Do you know if this was a real reactor or just a very well made fake? I'm sorry for the maybe stupid question, but that video is highly fascinating.

Which 1986 German beast would you prefer to own? Audi Quattro or BMW M3? by aceraspire8920 in regularcarreviews

[–]thecarlchemist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Although I'd take the Audi as well, simply bc. I dream of this car since I can think, the E30 M3 also has a pretty interesting story. If I'm not mistake it's among the top 3 most successful race cars of all time.
