Only thing better than getting a new bike, .....is getting two new bikes
The MZ Silver Star came about, as a fella that came to look at the Falcone, mentioned he was selling his bikes, (why he was looking at the Guzzi, I've no idea!]. My ears pricked up, and jaw dropped when he mentioned the MZ. These are gorgeous little roadsters, with a Rotax four stroke, electric start, and extremely rare. This one used to live on the Wirral, and then Bolton, before ending up in rural Co. Londonderry. So I bought it at the right price. The MZ will replace the Guzzi, Enfield, and XBR Special, though, to be honest, I love all three of these bikes
The Armstrong I bought because it was the right price too, and someone wanted to buy the one which has been lurking in our living room for a couple of years, and which was fairly rough, and I never mastered starting. So I upgraded to a better Armstrong for less money than I sold mine, and made a small profit. It has a Mikuni carb, is in good order, starts easily, and the seller MOTd it today, and then delivered it to my door. It was a 'no brainer'. Also, it was originally red, and shares the same interesting history as the one I sold.The plan was to sell my Armstrong and my Dommie, but having cleaned it all up, I now find I cant part with the Dommie. It truly is the best bike I have ever owned
