    The reality is that an instance or community with rules that are too strict simply dies or never becomes popular in the first place since anyone can re-create a community on another server. People have the freedom to choose the “best” instance or even hang out on the strict one if they so desire.





  • I appreciate the concern but I know what I’m getting myself into. My last project was a wrecked classic car with a seized engine and I now use it as my daily driver. I don’t have to get it back to museum condition, I just want it safe and drivable. In the worst case I will buy a second one to part it out. These things are still pretty cheap around here. There’s even a club for the K105 and K125.



  • I’m located in Germany and surprisingly parts are not hard to find at all. I always check the availability before buying a vehicle and there’s still plenty of companies manufacturing spares, from the light switches to the springs and down to the gearbox. I think it helps that Hercules’ lineup shared a lot of components in the 70s. I already found the missing battery cover freshly painted for 22 Euros.

    This project isn’t about selling or making money. I just enjoy the wrenching, as long as it may take :D
