Am sorry if you got confused, this thread was intended just for fun on a rainy weekend day!gogs01 wrote: I started out being interested in this thread, got confused when I couldn't figure out which comment referred to which bike and completely lost interest when I couldn't understand the terminology used in some of the posts.
Is there a reason why people use shorthand that only the chosen few will understand ? Is there a charge per word which keeps posts so short ?
Sorry if it sounds like I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. 
Comments were about the bike in picture. Once established what it was, moved to the next one.
As for shorthand that few will understand? Is BMW shorthand or should write
Bayerische Motoren Werke? As for the brand MZ, i never knew what it meant either, but here it is:
Motorradwerk Zschopau.

OK, thanks.
I'm OK with BMW, MZ etc - I've owned a few of both, also seen a few Zundapps.
I guess I would have liked to see a picture of each bike with the details of make / model / year in the same post before another bike was introduced. My brain isn't as sharp as it was 55 years ago when I first started riding !
Believe it or not, the sun is beaming down on my part of Scotland this weekend - glorious !

From my phone that jug looked like a quirky 4 stroke or it’s time to upgrade my readers! I remember seeing tons of MZ 250s when I lived in Paris in the mid 70s.temesvar wrote: Actually, you are right! It IS a two stroke, 1955 two cylinder bike.
They were the big old Zundapp's and BMW,'s mini me's :alas:

MZ's were one of the better bikes built in the eastern block.
125,175 and 250 cc. were abundant, the 350 cc was a rare
"beast" That is why i posted it here . :kacsint2:
