Micha, you are right. For repairing the bike it is very helpfull,
but the biggest disadvantage is during driving offroad with a lot of
baggage. I make the experience, that I always touch the ground at a
heavy pist. Also, driving fast in a curve and having a "Bodenwelle"
(floor-wave?!?) let you touch the ground, too. This is perhaps much
more dangerous than during driving offroad. This happens although I
fixed the shock absorber to be very hard!!
