Farewell MZ TS150

Jon Harris of this parish turned up, was given a swift course of
instruction in the Black Art of MZ Riding, and after his first test run
round the block returned cackling with laughter.

I think he liked it )

He actually seemd impressed with the little MZ practical touches, like
the enclosed chain, lockable cubby and things.

Just for a laugh, he took the Monkey Bike round the block. As he's six
foot five it looked like he had a roller skate under his bum. If the MZ
made him cackle with laughter, the Monkey Bike made him howl.

 

Tis true, I am a sad case.

The locking cubby hole takes a 500ml bottle of 2 stroke, which is nice and a
couple of local sorts have already passed judgement. Whilst filling up
hoodie clad 'erbert shows a fine grasp of motorcyling history by chuckling,
"Nice one mate, is that like the one Steven McQueen rode in the great
escape?" "err not quite" i reply...

Completed the 75mile jaunt home and enjoyed every mile. Had great fun
passing great throngs of traffic in East Grinstead that had earlier passed
me, and return a previous gentlemens obvious finger gesture with a cheery
"Fook orf!"

Tog forced me to, thankfully he didn't have a camera. It does run and not
having a clutch lever or mirrors does seem odd. I can see much entertainment
to be had by blipping the throttle when you've forgotten that it's still in
first...I didn't manage a whole lap of the block, mainly because i was
pissing myself laughing so much... Fitting a 110cc engine would need
reinforced sides least they split with laughter i reckons.

Top fun and very brave to let me go out on it, cheers Tog.
