MZ/MuZ Riders

by **Hawkeye** » Sun Nov 10, 2019 6:37 pm

Just dropping a thank you and intro as just joined the forum, was into MZ's back in the mid 80's and bought a TS 250 again earlier this year after a yearning for the smell and buzz of a two stroker again after a few 4 strokes over the years.
I am based in S. Wales UK near Abergavenny and wondering how many others are in this area and what bikes you're riding.

Welcome Hawkeye, hope you're enjoying your MZ & this forum!

Abergavenny huh? I am 25 miles from you..

You know- I never have seen a TS250 up close in the flesh. Maybe we could arrange this? have an '87 ETZ250 (with 300cc piston) and a '90 ETZ251.

Haven't actually ridden it yet as had a few health issues this year (just my luck after spending 18 months trying to find one again) waiting for one of two operations atm. :smt005

Are you in Newport / Cardiff area ish then.
Do any of you attend any of the MZ rider meets or camps.

I used to live in Penarth. I now live near Hengoed.

Unfortunately, although I have been a member of the club for around 3 or 4 years now, I have never actually gone to a meet or camp. I would like to though- I had every intention to. In my circle of 'biker friends', myself and my brother are of course the only ones with MZs, or indeed anything that isn't sporty.. :lol:

I'm hoping to get well after the surgery and if all OK will try and get to one or two of next years meets, in the meantime I am hoping to get to the monthly meet of the South Wales section coming up shortly but will have to be in the car.

Unfortunately my on-line log in has stopped working. So I don't know where these meets are or when.. :lol:

What?? MZ not sporty? I politely disagree, sir.
I believe they have a track record in ISDE (which is the penultimate form of motor sports), and also the 250cc ETZs have been used as a on-track racing class, in the UK. And there's bound to be more, like a 2 weeks endurance round-trip to Turkey or the like.
