The MZ ts250 The missile from East Anglia. 

Thanks for your comments yours must have been new in 79. I just love the thing to bits It's just different from all the others out there. .

@@captbarb6642 It was a couple of years old R reg and the previous owner sprayed it a ford metallic purple. Loved the bike only paid £300 for it, the only bit I didn't like were the brakes, either all or nothing😊 but still a great sounding bike, I had the simson 50 and the Mz 125 as well, I really liked the bikes at the time. Glad you have kept one for future riders to enjoy basic motorbike riding.

Thanks Jeff it's been a nice project I think anybody could do one of these bikes it's great fun to ride being two stroke .

I wonder who copied who as far as the silver tank bits go .

@@captbarb6642 The design of the Supa 5 was "borrowed" from the Honda models of the 1960s. At the end of the 70s, it naturally looked "a bit old-fashioned"😉😁

Thanks so you still wish you had it today .

Have you still got it

Sadly, no. Sold it 6 years ago for £1.7k

Couldn't agree more just love the thing to bits

Thanks for your response I did have a running issue but after adjusting float height and main jet needle height it revs cleanly with no bogging down .So it will get some use in the future .

@@captbarb6642 I am pleased that the machine is now running well and I am sure that you will solve all the problems.👍🙂 I look forward to more with your Supa 5.🙂🙃 The Supa 5 will never be as significant as a "Brough Superior"😉😁😉, but in this day and age it is something special I think.🙂😉

Thanks Peter

Thanks for your reply I can tell you they are rubbers from a refrigeration compressor , if you know a fridge engineer ask him . Do you live near Norfolk?

Yes, l live near Great Yarmouth

Right in that case I will find some for you I work in Yarmouth some days I travel from diss direction to Yarmouth . Can I message you directly?

Well if you read this I have some compressor rubbers for your seat if you would like them let me know .

@@captbarb6642 that would be fantastic please.

Danke 🙏

Oh yes 😊

It's a pun to the movie with the GP racer who defected and sold his sole to Suzuki and paid the price in the end. Ernest Degnar. The missile from the East

Have you not seen the movie the missile from the East . If you watch my other vids there's plenty of talking.
