Anyone planning to attend the 2026 AGM Camp at the Turner Hall campsite, Seathwaite and will be arriving on a motorbike, hopefully an MZ, then could you make a note of the total distance travelled from the start of the journey to the arrival at the camp site, so that they can be considered for the long distance award.
Thanks
Dave Gillespie
NW England section Rep
Greetings all, it has been noted that the booked venue for the AGM is not big enough for the anticipated throngs. I will be taking a marquee with me, and if it looks like we are unable to accommodate members in the village hall the meeting will be moved to the marquee on the campsite. The only problem here is people will need to bring a camping chair with them or be prepared to stand.
apologies for this.
any further info can be obtained from David Gillespie
cheers

Dear All, – please see, in ‘Recent Posts’ , the latest guidance for MZRC Event Organisers and Participants. This has been publicised in recent copies of MZ Rider, the club magazine. I have had to include it in ‘normal’ members post’s because I’m not familiar enough with the website to site it exactly where it ought to be in the ‘events’ section of the website. It may even crop up in other places too so apologies if it interferes with anyone else’s posts. If anyone needs any help with it or wants to discuss it further please feel free to contact me. I am the Section rep for Notts and Derbys, my details are on the website and in the magazine. Please not after 7.30 p.m. though
Hello fellas,
Long established MZ rider, now looking for a 250 Trophy,
please message me if you can help, ta
How do.
New member.
Been researching, as im looking for a 250 trophy. Live in Surrey, but born in Wolvo.
I’m looking for a colour wiring diagram to help re assemble my headlight after refurbishment.
I photographed everything on disassembly but I’ve obviously got something mixed up somewhere because nothing works. I’ve got 6v coming in on the red feed wire and tested everything directly from this feed but once connected to the ignition switch I’ve got nothing. Both my manual diagrams are difficult to follow but the diagram in colour looks far easier.
Can anyone suggest where I can get one?
Footnote – thank you very much for the kind replies I’m sorted with this issue and now onto my next problem……
Unfortunately this camp is cancelled
Can some one help I have recently bought two MZ TS 250/1’s One as a bit of a project.(new owner and MZ rider.)
Both bikes start ok but will only run for about 10 to 20 miles.Plugs fowl up wet and sooty,they only start agian when I replace the plugs,with a new one. Timing on both are to spec and plug gaps, carbs etc., hope its not as I suspect by what I have learnt and by my knowledge ,that the oilseal’s on both bikes need replacing.
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)

It is my sad duty to post the news that, after a short illness, Chris Mercer, from Preston, an MZ Riders Club member for over 30 years, died peacefully in the early hours of Saturday 24th of January. Chris was well known to those in the NW England section of the MZ Riders Club and also those club members that often attended our section’s camps and also the Clubs AGM meetings. Together with fellow section regulars, Chris was always good company when ever we travelled anywhere from the South coast of England to the North of Scotland.
He will be missed Dave Gillespie NW England Section Rep
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.

howdo chums here it is, I know you have all been waiting with baited breath. The Yorkshire section 2 nd camp of the year! I know, can’t keep us cooped up. The winter camp this year is on 8/9/10 January. Behind the Crown Hotel in Lofthouse ( bottom crown) Pately Bridge North Yorkshire. Just at the bottom of the hill from where we held the AGM 2 years ago.
it’s a Baxter basics rally, no showers but 24 hr khazi availability and depending on the weather may be a bit soggy underfoot. However there is an upside. 10 seconds to the pub which does fantabulous food. Also 10 minutes to Howstean gorge cafe, 40 minutes and a new set of lungs to top crown.
both pubs are welcoming and warm.
any more info txt me on 07980837005 or email bynnsi@gmail.com
i know the date on the add is wrong, but it will come in for the following year.

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
