This one has travelled !

You've seen the ES250/ half, now its the MZ ES250/1. Mark bought this one on eBay Deutchland with a Super Elastic sidecar perhaps the finest sidecar right hand chair ever made (or at least in my opinion). His now late friend Kurt from Seigen collected the outfit for mark. Mark made his way out there and rode the outfit back to England. Quite a brave as the outfit was an unknown quantity. It did indeed make it back. It was also not set up for left hand drive camber which made the handling on the UK side somewhat interesting. He had it for a year or so and I travelled with him to the Panther Rally in Silverdale when he rode it there. I forget the year, probably 2005. The back routes over the moors were taken so his arms were pumped up by the time he arrived. 

Some time afterward he sold it to a mutual friend called Woody. Such is the Love/Hate relationship Mark had with outfits. Woody kept it for a few years until I took it off his hands. I had dreamed about owning a Super Elastic outfit. Unfortunately after two years of coming fourth place against a BMW R1100GS, IWL Troll1 and a 1996 Kanuni I sold it having only taken the rear shocks off and put them back on again (they are worn). Mark took the bike off my hand and a mutual friend Robin from Wales took home the Super Elastic Chair. This bike has probably not run in at least 4 years, has worn rear shocks and still has outfit fittings.
