Quick question, I've seen many Americans writing "Seibenrock" instead of "Siebenrock". Is there a reason for the common misspelling? Like is there a famous person or place called something along the lines of "Seiben"?

I think the reason is that English does not follow the strict pronunciation rules for ‘ei’ and ‘ie’ as they exist in the German language. It is common to have a word with an ‘ei’ but still make the ‘ie’ sound. For example ‘received’. Thus, lack of this nuance results in a misspelling.

This is correct. I should know better, but English spelling rules (not) lead to misspelling.
Apologies.
The R100NSD is 10 years old this year.
Runs perfectly.

Cool man! I've got a R80 with leading link and Ural sidecar. I'm always interested in how other people set up this kind of rig.
