Yet another newbie from the UK

Postby Mr J Beach » Sat Jan 23, 2010 11:07 am

Hi there,

I'm Jack and I live on the Devon/Somerset border in the SW UK.

I have an MZ TS125 called Elliott (for obvious reasons). I was given him by a friend who rode him for a couple of years until his engine siezed. He was then left in a garden for about 5 years and became very unwell.

I have now rebuilt him with a temporary spare engine and he has passed his MOT test. He does have a couple of major problems (I will save them for the tech pages) so I haven't been able to ride him as much as I would like.

Well that's it really,

Jack
