Tips for Vespa travel preparation

Who is thinking about a scooter (also applies to other vehicles on wheels) to make travel a little longer should not be left to chance their journey, but to advance some reflections. To facilitate that I have collected some aspects that one or the other might be useful:

• A first principles should include a route planning. This can be done either with an appropriate navigation system, using a route planner on the Internet (for example, Falk Route Planner or Google Maps) performed quite conventional or to be made using the maps. IMPORTANT! excluded for those of you who are also traveling with a 50 cc scooter, remember in the planning of motor roads and highways. This saves the problem may reach a larger view or more to return. The best also reminds me, go into the design of suitable places in which you want to, under certain circumstances. Who does not want to camp wild on the pampas, and must therefore find suitable campsites or lodges, guest houses and hotels. Those who have done it with their preparation have come a way to go. It is advisable to carry a paperback book, in which we have ready to run a brief description and distinctive places. These can be at each stop and tick control. Additionally, you can use to prepare and guide. There is literature very good especially for trips to the mountains.

• So - after that are now in our path in mind, it is now scraping the barrel. Then check if we have the personal equipment there. Which should probably not appropriate protective clothing here. If you drive into the Alps, however, be aware that on 2 meters and could be cold 1/2- Thousand. Similarly, it can quickly turn even the time. A rain suit is a necessity. Please also enough cash in the case at hand, for many a mountain path to be used only to the charges.Who does not resistant to dry the clothes must be in the driver ensure that water stored as evidence. The more appropriate for the waterproof bags or backpacks bike. These can be conveniently mounted on the seat or foot space. The best way to package, so that without much effort in useful and important things first. We also ask you to bear in mind that the place is of course limited, if only for the payload and the effect on the management of the road. (also possible without the dead weight of mobile cabinet wall). All checks, if it is redundant and can safely ignore - So. Finally, we take a trip on two wheels and not win a beauty contest on the catwalk. Of course we can leave the correct maps in no way home. Motorcycle Tours for cards 1:200.000 size is recommended. These are large and clear, that all links that shows the main roads for us to it. These are available in bookstores or through membership in an automobile club (ADAC, stroke, etc) This is an annual review, but only if you're in good hands, thus saving costs additional. In addition, these clubs provide their members with current card materials are usually a year or when a fully supported route planning. For the small pharmacy board has prepared a couple more patches.

• Now that we have kept our belongings, it is on all technical aspects of our set of wheels to worry about. Basically, the bike should be thoroughly checked before you travel and be free of defects. Nothing is likely to be corrosive when to end their tour, because the vehicle will be due to lack of maintenance on the road. That can save. Should always be checked, of course, the oil level, lights, brakes and tires on your fitness before you start driving. In particular, the atmospheric pressure is modified adjusted weight is 0.2 bars as specified by the manufacturer can not hurt often.Now that we have kept our belongings, it is on all technical aspects of our set of wheels to worry about.

It is advisable to carry a liter of oil. A longer trip possible for our "sales" to a low load and lead to increased consumption. As good as you can to put a little more. Everyone else can be as mentioned above anyway repaired with tools on board, but must be made through the workshop.
  
  
  

Off-road driving

Soft sand

The XT is not for driving on soft sand predestined.
Tip number one, you can read anywhere: "gear ", which stabilizes the car, the shaking stops. Only one is always faster to accelerate, and this may be a problem with an XT chassis. The trick is simple, but I am not much time on it, is short with gas shocks, but also, if the load is too fast, it is the gas, until the suspension is stirred and just throttle back , etc.
In any event, shut off the gas completely and stretch the feet. So you lose control of the machine can only move at slow speed and drive that could even be! The best trip of his foot when he found the site difficult. This change in the sand, the weight back so that the front wheel does not go so low! Even if you want to feel: the ass on the bench!

Grooves

The best thing is, of course, not only to go straight and Gar. If one of you seeking routine appears unpleasant, that look like a rabbit, the snake - and the bike is moving towards point of view. Then we have the feeling that the machine draws the right slot. So you have to look at the slot time, any place you want to go - that in such cases is not as easy as it sounds, but you can learn.
Sometimes you can not avoid driving through the cracks. Disgusting is that the front wheel touches the side wall of the groove and try to upload. Create not, you fall on your face, or the wheel slips back into the groove, reeling against the other side, trying to climb back ....
The trick here is: handlebar shake While driving through the channel, shaking the handlebars back and forth more easily. This allows the front wheel does not cling to the sides, and one reasonably can go directly. On the roadIt is not necessary that this issue looks at you, so we can all perfect anyway. But if you're alone - you need for anyone to say :-)

If you really believe that you drive correctly, then you are living dangerously. No man is capable of driving without before or after making mistakes. You are aware of their mistakes and not only did also no way to improve yourself.

Take a safety training with you or buy the book: "The top half of the bike"
(It should be read, of course!).

The tactics of the late-turn
Everyone knows (I guess) what is the ideal line, outside the curve approach, be at the very top inside corner, being in the very corner exit outside. There is clearly the fastest way to get through a curve.

The racing line, but only on public roads Disadvantages:

If you're really on the limit moves, the curve is evaluated a little sick and too early to give, so that is a little ahead of the curve center deep within you, then you will be taken out of curve in the opposite direction or on the board I am sorry (not coincidentally 'd' in writing!). Embarrassing!

There is a better method:

In the corner entry also go as far as possible (of course, only in the same lane!), but later put in the curve so that the point found on the inside, behind the apex of the curve.

Disadvantages:
The speed curve of the bullet is slightly lower.

Advantages:
You can see the bullet out of the curve better.
bullet If anfährst the wrong turn, not be taken so far to the outside.
bullet curve can be accelerated with greater force.

Turn right

Do you want - you can do something wrong? Well, you can do better anyway. Maybe they gave you while driving also taught to play the lever only when it changes, because it presses against the ring and performed synchronously.
Well, the train of the motorcycle is not. Pressures and a bit against the lever before you press the gas and clutch and the following March appeared only super clean - even if you change the test from high to low speed, where the gearbox was perhaps much more reticent. When you pass by a gas collision shortly clutch helps to move the team to better cooperation.

The license to fund a loan

If you want to make a driver's license and not only has enough money, then your license may also finance a loan. An installment loan is usually cheaper than overdraft or current account. If you decide on a driver's license with an installment financing credit, you must first find a good driving school. That a price list and pricing and age in the green fields of our .xls Excel table "field. You can calculate the average total cost of your license. To this is added cost another € 500.00 total. It could happen so perfectly, that you pass the theory or practice driving time first test, or just need a little more driving lessons. The sum of this calculation, you must have the training of drivers. If your driving lessons just before the test must stop for lack of money, then you lose a lot of money.

Payment of the conclusion of the Treaty on the annual rate, duration and the possibility of early repayment without extra charges (unscheduled). The APR on your credit rating, ie, your credit, and can vary considerably. This means that you need, for example, for the same loan, depending on your credit score is between 5% and 17% of interest paid. Most credit providers time to announce interest "of 5%. " Comparison of various suppliers and get more work to their individual APR. In this case it may happen, ie a more expensive provider (6%) is more expensive than the cheapest supplier (5%). The lower the effective rate is, the better your credit.

Many providers advertise low monthly rates. This is only seemingly "cheap" because the low rate long term loan. The longer the term of the loan, the higher cost of funding that have been published. To keep costs down debt, always pay as much as possible. Ensure that the special refund at any time without additional costs. If driver education is less costly than expected, you can use the excess money immediately as a partial payment on your loan. 

Some credit providers special advertising "the allocation of licenses. " In this case, the loan amount is not paid to himself, but his driving school. This can be very useful if you can keep your money together. If the license is more expensive than expected, a large increase in the loan is in prospect. If the license is effective, the unused money from the school of driving attention to you. With this type of financing that pays for your license licenses in advance and should be an appropriate reduction, and also give a significant risk. In the case of insolvency of the driving school, which are only a small portion of the amount or no return. Moreover, the temptation of driving school is very good, the money paid to advance the full use of their education. If you want to change with the driving school, not only runs after the certificate of formation, but also your money. Therefore, you should insist on special credit financing offers to license all the money is not paid before the driving school, but only partially, depending on their training progress.

Remember that a loan must be repaid. All you need regular income. Every credit provider requires you to specify the amount of its regular income. Some providers without, however, on the basis of these data. Make your regular income to the loan application is not greater than they really are. Although no test is performed, providing false information on the loan application meets the case of credit fraud.

How I can find a good driving school?

• Ask your friends to whom, where, under what conditions has completed their training and leave at will with his driving school was!
• Search the websites of the driving schools. Often there is a wealth of information on vehicles, prices, theory and practical training offered. Pick up the phone, or better yet, contact school personnel management and advice in this matter. Reputable driving school will provide general information on the phone all the important things (vehicles, theory and practice, education, prices).
• You Ask if you can participate in the union of a seminar test "in the theory and then decide. If you know of other student drivers in various driving schools, I wonder if they care if you ride with an hour's drive. You can do very well an image of the standard training, driving instructors, student satisfaction, facilities and condition of vehicles.
• Beware of too much emphasis on low prices! Even a driving school must cover their costs. Driving schools can tackle at bargain prices for calls are not good teachers because they never work for an "apple and an egg. " And surely would have a driving instructor balanced and well tuned to your side, or ...?.
• For motorcycle training (Class A), ask if the instructor goes over the bike and give you basic driving tasks (training) can work well! Unfortunately, this is not a long time sitting. If your driving instructor will accompany you on practical training with your own bike, which is not able to show a lot. This driving instructor will guide you to success much faster and is usually more understanding and empathy.
• Make sure that you can arrange the dates of the theoretical and practical training with his professional and private. You must have the opportunity to influence these dates!
• Quietly Check out the prices. But always remember that you can call a driving school reputation is not the final price of their education. What you really need to pay at the end of your training depends largely on the quality and effectiveness is open with her ​​education. Completing your driving practice are not trained in the process of personal and business stress. Well rested and refreshed, they are much more responsive and much faster.
• Make sure you have sufficient funds for the training of drivers. If your training just before the practical test should be stopped for lack of money, then you have destroyed a lot of money. A driver's license in the initial purchase may cost less than € 1,000.00 or € 3,000.00. Normally, you need 1500.00 to 2000.00 euros for it. The license costs vary considerably regionally. Before your finances no driver's license to overdraw your checking account, you should check to see if the payment plan is cheaper.
• Practical training should always be carried out a training and evaluation of their lessons. As should always know your exact level of training. Many driving instructors to work with a "guide" is published by the National Association of partnerships driving instructors and coverage, to dominate at the end of training, all that is required for successful test.
• Pay attention to punctuality! Driving lessons in which the purchase is made ​​by the instructor or other private things should belong to the past!
• If still dissatisfied with some things sometimes, speak with the same open and honest. A good driving school and a good driving instructor to deal individually with each student taking driver. If you have the feeling of being trapped in "the wrong direction, then change the driving school. This is possible at any time! Your driving school age are obliged to deliver on their previous training in theory and practice training certificate.

Boost the use of vehicles

In practice:

• Take your foot off the accelerator at an early stage, when the evidence can not be driven, 
• Cut fuel use (if any)
• Disengage or roll out in neutral (auto drivers remain in the driving position D) 
• Taking into account the slow and intelligent After travelers.

In theory:

Anyone who has driven a car knows how difficult the first few meters. Once the wheel of the car easier. When starting, for example at traffic lights, but need to press hard on the accelerator, the fuel consumption is very high at this time. If at the next light is slowed to a stop, precious time is lost. By contrast, those who once created the momentum used correctly can prevent a lot of acceleration and braking unnecessary. In contrast necessary to reach an impasse, it is often better in motion.

Prerequisite for the use of oscillation is the early detection of traffic conditions and a sequence of goal-directed action. The first step is always here, "the gas. " In theory:  Anyone who has driven a car knows how difficult the first few meters. Once the wheel of the car easier.

In contrast necessary to reach an impasse, it is often better in motion.

Prerequisite for the use of oscillation is the early detection of traffic conditions and a sequence of goal-directed action. The first step is always here, "the gas. "The cut vehicle fuel is injected at the moment empty of fuel, which is synonymous with "zero consumption". (Depending on the type of vehicle) of a specific speed, low fuel is then injected. At this time and in vehicles without fuel cut, it is useful to launch zukuppeln or inactive, since consumption is smaller the friction drive. This is because, depending on the speed of air is being pumped. To avoid excess air, then the appropriate amount of fuel injected.

Build on the momentum of the vehicle offers, particularly in the following situations:
     - The approach to a red light or a traffic light, which is expected to turn red before the driver can pass
     - The focus of a stop sign or to sign the "give way"
     - To "stop-and-go traffic.

Safety:

Council of "promoting the use of vehicle" does not apply to driving on slopes. As almost everyone has a different definition of them has what must be considered as a pendant, is offering the following rule:
As soon as the vehicle through the use of this advice, "saying"faster, so it builds its own momentum, run on the brake gear and engine. Car drivers are always in the right gear.

In training:
Professional trainers for specific support
     - Early identification of situations that can be applied to the tip,
     - The application of a clever action sequence
and show how to relax and calm to deal with traffic situations.

At low speeds, and I want to go

In practice:
The seat belt, start and leave immediately
fast speed, short, strong
top gear quickly
(Min 2000-2500 rpm.)
Car drivers want to walk.

In theory:
Fuel consumption and emissions of an engine depends mainly on engine speed. Increases faster at the same rate of fuel consumption. The formula is simple: the consumption of high speed = high, low = low speed. A few years ago I was driving in the range of average speed (2500 -. 4000 rpm) or a particularly good fuel consumption. Today, modern engines of lower power and lower emissions possible, even in a low speed (1500 - 2500 U / min.).

The low-speed range should not be confused with a low conduction velocity (below idle speed.) The transition between the low and the area indicates the call  control limit under the vehicle, the actual speed is below idle speed (depending on vehicle at 1000 rpm.). In this case, change to a lower speed. "throttle to save fuel"- this slogan may sound paradoxical, but the fact remains: For the same speed "more gas" in high fuel consumption rate of driving with "less gas" in a low gear. This also applies to the slopes.
Low speeds and "more gas", also the engine heat faster high-speed applications with "less gas, " so that the necessary operating temperature reached more quickly and thus the engine life is. The noise level is reduced in this way. A vehicle minutes at 4000 rpm. is controlled from a purely statistical, as high as 32 ​​vehicles at a speed of  2000 rpm. road. Low-speed drive means, therefore, from a speed of  2000-2500 rpm. to select the next gear. If there is no tachometer, it helps the following rule of thumb:

1. Begin the transition (about the size of the vehicle)
2. Response to 25 kmh
3. Step 25 kmh to 40 kmh
4. The transition from 40 kmh
5. The transition from 50 kmh

With an automatic transmission, power program before the next gear when the pressure is reduced to only the gas pedal to the desired switching speed, or speed. Once the traffic speed is reached, then you can "swim" uniform. For urban transport, this means about 30 km / h in third transition, about 40 km / h in fourth Transition and about 50 km / h in fifth Transition.

Safety:

Of course there are situations where quick acceleration is needed, for example when driving on the road. Always the chosen course, which provides the required acceleration performance. As always, applies here: "Safety first. "

In training:

Low speed driving may feel strange in practice as well. Professional coaches teach both specifically
     - The rapid acceleration,
     - Low speed switching
     - The low speed and a smooth ride
     - The recognition of  limit angel.

You experience that can not drive slowly, because the low-speed driving does not become an obstacle to traffic.
