At last we discover what the MZ 'bazooka' stylee exhaust is all about! After years of contemplation and query it's clear that it's not actually a rocket launcher or an impromptu, heated ferret racing pipe as first thought but actually a device whose single purpose, by virtue of its immense length and surface area, is to prevent owners inadvertantly 'losing' their bikes by 'accidently' riding them into swamps, quicksand etc! It's a great pic if slightly worrying...have I got to be this well organised (swamp not withstanding)? I'd rather bargained on two Tesco carrier bags and a bungy being sufficient! Love the red fork legs though! Looking for a charity to support now, preferably one associated with cheap return flights to the uk! Seriously though, I'm looking to use the ride as a bit of a fundraiser so I'll be looking for a group to endorse my efforts and people to help distribute sponsor forms in the near future. Suggestions welcome! Busy looking at maps at the moment. I'll definitely be battling with Parisian traffic (a measure of my insanity), racing to Le Mans, quoffing in Bordeaux and going to Madrid. All else to be determined.
