Quote from: Spitfire45 k in less than two years? Have you been riding to Germany everyday?

Summer and fall of the 2003 were blessed with nice weather and I was out on a ~1000km trip most of the weekends. And I used it to commute to work and back...

Add to that a couple of longer trips (Mugello for the MotoGP, summer vacation down the Adriatic coast, ...) and it adds up.

2004 was a bit weaker as the weather didn't play along, but it was fun anyway.
