The shortest thread in DMF history  [laugh]



I once owned one of these absolute beauties.  Note the cool optional side-stand mounted on the end of the swingarm.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I am old enough to have owned a brand new 1972 MZ ETS 250. Ive linked a photo of a yellow Trophy Sport. Mine was red naturally and bullet proof. I rode it from Sydney to Cobar regularly as I worked in the copper mine at the time. Bought it from the legendary Tony Hatton who had the dealership. Top speed 65 mph unless you slipstreamed a van on the highway. Had it to 80mph for a short burst before the piston started to sieze. Rapid clutch engagement necessary. Those were the days.
