Your website is interesting as well.

What is your secret to finding enough time to do all the mileage every year?

Congratulations again.

Thank you Marc!

The secret is: I'm totally addicted Cool

- I have no car
- I ride to office by bike
- I am riding the bike during winter as long as there no snow/ice
- I am doing business trips by bike

For the last point:
When I have two options either (a) jump into a car / train / plane for a Monday morning meeting on early Sunday and beeing stressed or (b) rolling my suit into the bag, jumping on my bike Friday afternoon / Saturday morning, having a perfect weekend while spending only one additonal day compared to the first option and being relaxed (a) ...

what do you think I prefer? Rolleyes

This is my life without the business trips. Though, if I had any business trips to go on, I would certainly take the bike, because #1 also applies to me. considering the difference in our mileage, your business trips must take up a very large portion of your overall mileage. What percentage of that 161k are business trips?

And I forgot to mention my vacation by bike Smile

Dude, I never did any maintenance to the forks.
They are still original and there was no need to change anything.

Did you ever have MZ in your life, if yes, which one?

I didn't own one but I rode quite often the MZ ETZ 250 from a friend.
It was a reliable bike with a simple technology, easy to repair if necessary
