dilemna

I remember the place. It was there when I had my Supa Five at Sussex Uni
in 1980, because he diagnosed the fecked big end.....

 

The Older Gentleman said:

He was also deaf as a fucking post - he couldn't hear a word when you
went back to complain that his spanner monkey had broken your bike by
fitting the wrong main bearings (as he did on my MZ50 under warranty),
Although he could hear a five-pound-note rustle at 10,000 paces.

He also did a good range in open-face 'Stadium' helmets - as long as
your head was the size of a hot air balloon - or you didn't mind it
sliding over your eyes all the time. I reckon he bought a job lot of
Size 99 helmets cheap and was slowly knocking them out to the local lads
and explaining they'd ride up with wear.

 

Just had an idle poke around on Biketrader, and found a lovely advert
for a 1990 ETZ250...

"1990 G Reg MZ ETZ250 250CC, BLACK. Good Condition.BARGAIN RUNABOUT,
FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. full documented history, one owner from new,
owned by a proffesor of science, basically a train spotter, i have
never seen so much nerdish material in all my life this guy even wrote
down when he filled up with petrol and how many miles to each gallon
he got, he even belonged to the MZ OWNERS CLUB, its done a few miles
