MZ bits are freely available on fleabay and from specialists like
Burwins (http://www.mzspares.com/).

The riders club (http://www.mzridersclub.co.uk/) can give advice, sell
you manuals and corrupt your soul. Really should join, but one one-
marque club is more than enough for me...

Gazza, I (finally!) posted the casing to you today. I'm really sorry
about the delays.

Thank you muchly, Nigel. The delay is irrelevant, it was going nowhere
anyway and I certainly couldn't fix it! My XJ is going nowhere either! I'm
having loads of luck with two wheels at the moment.

I think you'll get a few bids on that. That's very nice for an unrestored
example.

You've got those the wrong way around - the Opel coupe was the Manta,
whereas the strange Bimota with the woodgrain dashboard was the Mantra.
