Needed to fix a small piece of junk with argon. Denis the mechanic pointed out a knowledgeable argon welder — Anton @SquashyOH is located at 133 Mamia Komakhidze (Batumi).

You didn't ask, but here is a #review #fuckinglotsofletters #minipseudoseries Everything described above is IMHO. I am an artist, that's how I see it. Smart thoughts are welcome. Those who want to dispute, I send behind the garages. Baseline: 97kg, 187cm, 42 years old. Part of my daily routine is food delivery and riding uphill home to Tskneti. KTM duke 390. It was built by enduro fans and pros. And you feel it right away from the seating position: the tank makes you involuntarily grip the bike with your knees, unreasonably wide handlebars, legs tucked under your ass, long travel suspension for the city (~15cm). Snappy engine, short gears — tears up hills briskly, brakes sharply, demands the skill to precisely pick gears and revs. The suspension swallows speed bumps completely unnoticed. Handlebars and dashboard are close and low, windshield basically doesn't exist, a sense of protection is utterly missing. Didn't really manage to evaluate how it handles. In short — a supermoto on minimal settings. For a guy looking for adrenaline around the city or on a kart track — just what you need. For my courier-universal city tasks — overkill.

Similar body kit configuration, wide and tall handlebars, upright seating, and exhaust sound. An excellent bike — rides sharply, brakes sharply, steers sharply, everything is predictable and clear. Pure and safe pleasure. Like a pedantic Japanese grandmother took full care of you: wrapped you in a blanket and gave you hot cocoa with cookies. A perfect first bike or adv-tourer for 45 kg girls. I noticeably lacked engine power and gear length. Don't expect extreme — it's about something completely different. Message #495 (29.06.2025 21:35:06) #Review Cb400ss from 2002. A brutal single-cylinder classic without an electric starter. Very interesting sensations. Like I'm a 12-year-old kid again, behind the wheel of my grandpa's Ural. Only now, I am the dad. In an era of quiet, thin-buzzing plastic 'fag mopeds' with colorful digital dashboards, this CB feels like an all-metal mammoth from the pre-digital era, when trees were big and machinery had soul, character, and balls. Maybe even bigger than the rider's. That very Honda that doesn't break. Flexible engine, pulls luxuriously from low revs, long gears... It is versatile: dashing off from a traffic light (maybe the speedometer lies, but 100km/h from light to light is easy-peasy), cruising long distance on the highway, hopping through boondocks where wolves fear to shit — don't worry, it'll carry through everything. The main thing is not to get carried away. In traffic jams it feels uncomfortable, but I never figured out why, maybe because it handles so-so. For delivery it's way too tough :) Like showing up to a street kid knife fight with a Degtyaryov machine gun :)) Message #497 — Vladimir Skroban29.06.2025 21:27:45 (29.06.2025 21:35:06) #review Yobrik. Aka yamaha ybr125. This is micro-perfection. The baby of all classic bikes. Small, nimble, simple and reliable like a Honda, as lively as can be :)) Having tested all the previous ones, I came to the conclusion that for me this is the ideal bike for work. It straightforwardly meets all needs, except trips to Omalo. For now I've settled on this option, and for serious riding — I'm saving up for something 500-800 cc.

These rear-wheel-drive insurers used to be decent, but lately they look for any reason to deny coverage if the clinic doesn't arrange it with them in advance and it requires at least some kind of confirmation. Most often they try to dodge by claiming the disease is allegedly either congenital or chronic and was acquired before the policy, even if it's plainly obvious that's not true, and even if a doctor-professor calls them and curses them out, and you also bring an amended Form 100 where it CLEARLY states that the issue is not congenital and not chronic. Out of ALL the cases I brought to them, they fulfilled only one — the one where there is no cash reimbursement, but the doctor calls and closes the case directly with the insurance — a rabies vaccination. @Tagvi_RatBerry Pin this pls, otherwise people will fall into this trap just like we did. 500 bucks basically thrown away, and that's not the worst part; the worst part is counting on this insurance and getting jack shit. #insurance #unison #unison #unison Author in chat: Warrior of the VOID05.07.2025 02:38:19
