Sadly not much has happened recently.  :( but it is going back together slowly. It`s on it`s wheels, paint done, new seat cover arrived last week. Wont be ready for the Manx like I was hoping but hey ho. I`m going to have to get the old MZ tested soon, as nothing on the road at the moment. Thanks for asking Michael.

Love the MZ Steve. I has an ES in the early eighties, a smashing little bike!

"XT250 - first steps" was posted just over a year ago. After a load of hard work by my mate, and lots of sleepless nights hunting for some genuine missing parts, a shed load of ££££  :( it`s now 99% done.  ;D

Aye Steve, appears to have come together very nicely, hope you get a chance to take it for a canter.

Good health, Bill

Thanks for the kind words fellas.

Next step is the Manx test but hopefully all will be good there?

Michael, the bike is in my mates fibreglass supplies shop hence the background rollers  ;) I will pass on your congratulations  ;D

Very nice job indeed. Seems a shame to go and get it all muddy now!

Thanks for the kind words fella`s. It is in for it`s test on Thursday, fingers crossed all will be OK?  ???

After the hassle and expense of this restoration, and a massive thanks to my mate for all his hard work helping me out, I swore I`d never do another.  :-\ He then tells me he has a 1968 Kawasaki 175 F3 Bushwhacker project for sale  :-\ :-\

Noooooooo, I did  :o :o :o ::) :-\ :-\

Similar Bill. Nice little machine of you`re friends. 10 speed? I suppose the Bushwhacker I`ve got is an 8 speed? (two rear sprockets)

It should look something like this when done?
