Hi there,

my name is Martin and my wife Tanja and me are new in your mailing list. 

Referring to mounting GIVI-Cases on the RD07 I have one question:
With 38 Liter Monokeys bothsides my AT is nearly 114cm wide.
Does anybody knows, which exact law limitations exist in Germany, or was 
anybody ever punished becourse of exceeding an 100cm limit?
(By the way, the difficulty in handling with such "monster",even if they are 
overloaded, is just to avoid street contact in curves or crash in narrow 
situations. Every lightweighted socias disturbes much more-sorry Tanja)

Refering to the old Kardan/Chain discussion let me add something:
Last winter I general-inspected our 90.000km old BMW R100GS/PD.
Although we never treated it by heavy motocross, the kardan offers freeplay 
and had to by replaced. Costs 600.-, worked nearly 3 hours.
Summa summarum min. 900.-. Think it`s neary the same effort as chain 
changing. And, secretly, I enjoy it sometimes to grease-up something.
All enduro-kardans get loose and dangerous when they`re old, but most guys 
donīt worry about, because the "devil" is unvisible.

Thanks Micha for integrating us here

Adios - Martin&Tanja
