No 2 wheel projects, but I am knee deep in my truck restoration. I think the lockdown will be a distant memory by the time I'm driving this again, lol.

I�m rebuilding the engine on this. New crank, bearings, oil seals, clutch and, as a special treat, a 12v opto electronic ignition/generator pack (with a whopping 180w output - original 6v was about 80w).

I rebuilt the running gear about 4 years ago but did nothing with the engine (which never ran very well as one of the seals had gone). So, with all this spare time, seemed like a good thing to do. It is also useful therapy after my accident last year and will be a good test for me to get on a bike again before I replace my written off RS!

I�m putting a blog together on the rebuild and will post when ready.

My plan was to use the MZ as a mini tourer and do some distance on it (they have a good reputation for that kind of stuff, being robustly built, well engineered and easy to fix). With current lockdown, don�t know when this will be but it�s something positive to plan for. I�ve already kitted it out with original 70s pannier rack, now looking for some panniers to go with them.......or maybe I�ll just use my set of Aldi dry bags, they seem fitting for this utilitarian machine!

Cheers alll - stay safe

Gordon

My RS is all ready to go, spotless, serviced, new stand etc. Sadly, very sadly funds don't allow major projects and I'm still working (under 3 months until retirement) but I've revisited shooting film, black and white, home developing and getting back to basics with my photography. It's been a lot of fun.

I saw a nice Hyabusa today and got to thinking..... It's a bit like being on patrol in a submarine, dreaming of things you want to do when you get the chance (and then finding out that the wife has spent all the money you thought you were saving!).

The truth is, the RS is all I need.

Here's my old Canons. And a couple of results.

It would be nice, if there was a "digital" back for those cameras. As is, my A-1 sits on a shelf. Not even worth the effort to list on eBay.
