Thanks for the "clean up". I enjoyed it..... again. I pick my Traveller up in Raleigh North Carolina, Saturday the 23 of June. 5 days.... HURRY UP!!!!!
Then the ride on the Tail of the Dragon and surrounding routes. And a brisk 1600 mile ride back to Salt Lake City Utah. Will be EPIC.... (one way or the other.)

Well here's the trip report..... Picked up the MZ in Raleigh North Carolina, NOT as described to a point, as expected I supose. Ran flawless through ought the trip. Hit the Tail of the Dragon Sunday, as I spent ALL day trying to get there because the airline gave away our connecting flight and layed my flight over night. Grrrr, So, I normally ride an '83 Suzuki 1100ESD that is cam,carbed and piped, I am used to being king of the straights and slow in the curves, while grinding off bits and wobbling about. Not the MZ. I could not beleive the lean angles the MZ iz capable of, I tucked in my elbows!!! (not really) GREAT ride, had my brother in tow on his Victory Knig Pin and a buddy on a Valkery with a CAR TIRE on the rear. He was haveing a blast giving chase to me on that monster. Well I came across a few Sportbikes and gave chase, I finally passed one, the FZR6 and went after the CBR6. Well The cornering speed increased and the 4cyl bikes found their lean angle limits and I was just getting into it. The CBR started to do dangerous stuff to stay ahead and I let the 2 go and waited for my brother and friend. Not wanting to be in, cause of OR be implicated in a wreckless driving accident. I waved at them and cruised the rest.
After the rides on Sunday, Monday I headed home with a camara/phone full of video and pics. Well my phone/camara committed suicide and lept from its holster(used it for afew years and not an issue till NOW) @ 80mph and GONE!!! sob. Well I have a few shots that I had sent out and 2 from "killboy photo" . The rest of the 1799 mile ride went well till my ATM/Visa card was shut off by the bank and I was stranded in Nebraska... Fixed that and by the time I arrived home, EVEN with a Loobman, the chain and sprockets were destroyed. Well they were ~ 8k miles old to start, and I made 3 adjustments along the way. Loved the MZ, smooth at 75-80 (for a single) and I'm 6'2" and the pegs were set high and the bars were not the adjustable clip ons but it was good for a fuel tank at a time. Ah, pics....

YUP, thank you airline.... Kinda screwed my day up. It would have been great to have 2 MZs on the tail. We could have BULLIED more 4 cyls.... hehe.
MAN the 'lil MZ has impressed me. QUICK AS SNOTT!!! I took my brothers Victory King pin (95 hp/110 tq, Stage 1) AND the Valkery from 0 - 45mph EVERY TIME.....BUT alas, Poor MZ runs out of steam. Short shifting IS the name of the game with these. Coming out of the corners at full lean and throttle.....(BIG EVIL GRIN) I was worried I would get bored with it. Not seeing that happening. Well Bill, We are going to try next year, I'll ship it out EARLY and fly in to Columbus Indiana so even if the airline BITES me again.... not that far to go. Put about 2500 miles on the MZ, and LOVED IT!!
