Hello

[Det]

Hi all.
I'm new so just wanted to introduce myself.
I have a very old MZ basket case. I think it's an ES but apart from that I'm afraid I don't know much. Once I've had a chance to familiarise myself with the forum, I'll post some pictures.

Hello,

Welcome- yes please let's see some pictures and we can help clarify for you!

Where do you live?

[Det]

Thanks for the welcome.
I actually live in Bulgaria, but I'm British. I moved here last year.

Hi Det, welcome!

Nice country, let's hope Bulgaria is not too close to the heat. Whereabouts in Bulgaria?

[Det]

Thank you

Right, a basket case indeed!

It's hot today.
I'm in the SE, about 40 miles from the Greek border.

I need to find out what it is before I start ordering anything

[Det]

I'm still restoring the house we bought so it'll be slow going. i may be able to organise a day a week to work on the bikes. Depends on how generous my wife feels about living in a building site.

It's an ES250 - But I can't say what specific model /0 or /1 etc.

I wonder if I might have passed through that region when I came back from Istanbul many years back. On the way back to Bulgaria I decided it might have been quicker to go through the Greek border and then back into Bulgaria. I believe it was the border between Bulgarian town of Svilengrad/Свиленград and Greek town of Ormenio/Ορμένιο. By the end of the day I found myself near the Danube.

Svilingrad is almost directly south of us. You would have passed by our village on the way north. Although it's unlikely that you came anywhere near us as we're realllly off the beaten track.

Can I ask how you know it's a 250?

[Blurredman]

Sorry. I suppose it could be a 175. Unlikely to be a 300. But I can see from the design of the bike it is a larger capacity engine and not 125cc etc.
