Hello fellow MZ Riders. I recently aquired a 2003 Baghira this past month and have really enjoyed it. 
Your forum has been a great source of information on this bike and I have spents quite a few hours here pouring over all the posts. Having owned an Aprilia a couple of years ago, I'm no stranger to somewhat challenging parts sourcing. Hopefully all will go as smoothly as possible. I've noticed that there is a couple of you that live in, or close to Knoxville and it would be nice to meet you sometime. If you are up for it, I'm having a get-together this Saturday evening (weather permitting) with a bunch of the local riders. We are going to be hanging out bs-ing, riding fiddys, enjoying a small bonfire and what not (
). If you're interested let me know and I will get you the details. Cheers!
You should try to make it Saturday evening if you can. There should be a good turn out with a lot of local riders. Check out the link below from our local riders forum and that will have all the details. If you can't bring up the page or what not then let me know and I will PM you the details. If you're not a member then sign up...it's a great community of mostly mature minded riders that have a lot of get-togethers, group rides, bike clinics and so on. There is also a good wealth of knowledge there on riding tips, bike maintenance, suspension setups and so on and so on. I go by the same screen name there and most every other forum I'm on for that matter.
