Yeah, it had some sort of classic race Avon on the front and a weird front tyre on the back. They were very odd sizes if I recall. Amazing how little got smashed considering. I bent the exhaust mount to pull it up higher after that.
They were fucking odd bikes, a mate had one and his would run backwards from time to time. Predictably hilarious. We all rode such an astonishing assortment of shite.
My lovely big sis eventually saved me from the indignity of the MZ and leant me her old 350YPVS.

Right, your MZ story tells me a few things. Firstly that the squared no grip/no wear tyres had been changed for something that gripped. That you really did a number on the etz as I threw mine down the road on a regular basis as I was poor and kept those quality tyres.
I can still hear that engine running while the bike was on its side....laughing at me.
Still say I have no idea how that bike engines survived, some times too much oil, some times no oil...
