:D Thanks for starting this forum. Don't know whats going on at MZ USA with the link removed for the chat on the home page so its nice to see another outlet. November in MN so that means that riding is over for now. I read the write up on the new 1000S and it was very positive. Now to locate a dealer that will actually stock one?? Jim

Although the bike is parked, it doesn't mean that we aren't out riding up here - just a different mode.

Here's the winter vehicle:

Hello,

greetings from Germany. My Baghira BP is in the winter sleep now. I have a season number plate. That saves money for the insurance and the tax. My season starts in March and ends in October. That also prevents any salt damages.
I've washed my baby, then I cleaned the engine and the chain with WD40 and the cooling tubes with Silikon spray. I've emptied the tank and the carburetor and took the batterie out and put it in the basement.

The times I was riding in the winter are over since I have a car.

MZ USA Chat is still open.... you have to "click" on any of the Tabs at the top of the page IE: Tech or Models etc, then you have the option to click on chat..... Which is good, It would be a shame to have that other site die off, although it doesn't get the traffic this site does...... Fortunately here in Seattle we ride all year round..... Right Phlat,
Later, Brian
