About 30 years ago I bought a TS 125 MZ from a bloke in a pub for £10, no registration document or even any number plate. I was pissed at the time so that was my excuse.
When I got he bike home, half of it in boxes, the engine ran but very roughly. When i tried to set the points the gap kept wandering and I realised that ther main bearings had gone allowing the crank to move up and down and hence no consistent points gap. This was probably a job too far. Any sensible bloke would have scrapped it and written off the £10 to experience. I have however transferred the bike and boxes through 3 house moves.
My eldest son has not shown much interest in my bike projects to date but with the prospect of being able to ride this one he has engaged enthusiastically.
Here is the state of play as of yersterday
