“Driving a motorbike, I want to be the machinist – working the ride in such sense is far more satisfying than being on a modern bike which does everything for you.” This is why Chris is in such deep love with aged MZ motorcycles from the 1970s and even collects them. MZ has been Germany’s biggest manufacturer of motorbikes. Export into western countries had been significant – amid being an East German “VEB” company. The robust “all weather” construction fascinates him: “You can do all important field repairs yourself!”. He also undertakes frequent long range tour rides with his friends.
