Slovenia apparently has some awesome mountain biking terrain. There's a round of the UCI world cup held there most years.

That is quite distance for little motor, but I guess it runs still ok?

Rust is indeed a problem, climate does not help either :(

Mine had 160,000miles (~258,000km) and was still fine. Slightly tired valve stem seals but a service would have fixed that.
