I came across this Moto Rally that takes place every year in February over in Europe,this year from February 13/15.

Does anyone know what kind of old MZ is in the picture ? Has anyone been to this rally ?

Hello!

"Elephants" are a traditional bikers meeting . The first organizers apparently were veteran of World War II. For years next to the Isle of Man and Assen TT "Elephants" had great reputation. Particularly never I go, in my work ride the bike in winter and I don´t like cold. In the 90 I was in "Pingüinos" two times but cold, noise and thousand of people isn´t fun for me.

Best Regards, Manuel

the faring in above picture was sold in the usa
also by butler and smith the importer
original ones are aluminum i have one in fiberglass that i think is a knock off copy
it works excellent but sets back to far in your face
with short bars
