Greetings all, any one fancy the farmyard? It’s a big motorcycle rally in North Yorkshire in the sunny months.

anyhoo if anyone fancies now is your chance. We have been offered a site for a bit of club advertising. This is basically room to stick up a gazebo ,stick a few bikes in front of it and hand out blurb. There is free entry for 2 members to man the stall. No one needs to be shackled to the spot and there will be loads to wander round. From memory I think there are 3 bars, a big top for headlining bands and a smaller marquee for a more relaxed time with a comedy club. There are generally 25/35 bands and loads of stalls selling bike related tat. I say from memory as I got very unstable last time I went. Any interest email me. Details int mag ( it’s a MAG rally by the by)

Can anyone tell me if these JL wiring guides are still available to buy? In the past I have bought ones for various models through the club direct from JL. If they are not now available, am I allowed to photocopy one and pass it on to another MZ owner or is that not allowed under copyright? Any ideas?

Beautiful trophy outfit for sale, lured by shiny things this was an impulse buy and on reflection was a mistake as I already have four sidecars!

the whole thing is lovely in cream and blue and looks like it is newly delivered from a showroom. Which is why it needs to go to someone more bike proud than I am. If I drove it for any period of time it would acquire the character that all my bikes have.

the sidecar is a velorex with fitted tonneau cover and someone has spent a lot of time and effort pairing the bike and chair. The bike starts easy and runs well with no nasty noises. 12 volt conversion. Good tyres. More importantly, the whole thing goes well, gets up to a good speed, goes where you point it and stops.

I’m new member and mz’s , I’m looking for a nice sorted ts250/1 , I missed a really nice black one on e-bay sold by DR classics which had belonged to a mzrc member ! I’m in the southeast    [ sussex ] all the one’s for sale seem to be at the other ends of the country  ! Please contact me by e-mail with photo’s = ducatiderek@gmail.com or 07907796146 , thanks Derek

I’ve recently bought a TS250 which looks to be in very nice condition. Unfortunatey the dynamo appears to be no good. I’ve had a lot of help from Roy Johns who came over with spares and we managed to a working dynamo of sorts. We both thought the best permanent solution would be a 12 volt complete system.

I’m aware of two systems, Tezet and Vape. Has anybody had any experience with either and can give me advice on the best system taking into account the costs. many thanks. Paul  Hague.

I am looking to get an MZ prefer a 150/250 ts or would now consider an etz. I am down in darkest Cornwall

November 2024 issue has an article that might interest some for an afternoon read, our technical rep Roy Johns is featured along with his ETZ 250, Roy was a great source of mechanical knowledge when I rebuilt my ETZ 250 engine before lock down, good on you Roy and a good article.

I shall send directions about a week before blast off.

The Site is located on a private farm, and camping fees are a donation to charity.

There will be a caterer on site doing good quality food ( not a burger van) The food to be paid for when ordering.

There is a pub in walking distance but beer will be available on site. Recommended £1 pint ( bring a vessel) on an honesty bar.

Tea and coffee also available, possibly bisquits.

Its a basic site with only one bog and no showers, so timing is everything.

There will be a marquee on site with a brazier for folk to thaw out/ gather round to talk nonsense.

If you are able to play an accordion or recorder please bring them along as we may run out of logs.

I have a persistent oil seepage from the bottom of the engine that runs down the front bracket fixing the exhaust pipe. Not serious and has been happening a long time but where is it coming from? Looks like gear oil.
