    Weird Harold anti bling cult bike for the alternative lifestylers, duffle coat affectionado's and social misfits that totally reject modern marketing and stylists.

    Fanatical following and trust me - if you are a young single female, join an MZ site and be prepared for the onset of extreme mating rituals and illuminating offers from the worlds Kooks...

    i havn't actually. I know someone that has one though. It's a pretty nice bike, though I'd have to check it out further... I'm doing some serious browsing as of late so it may be a good idea... though I'm worried it may be a little too high...

    Don't look too far past the wee Volty's if you need a good bike to get your license on. I'm surprised how easy it is to do the basic handling maneuvers on, is good for 120kmh if you give it a good run, and a very cool design.
    Klingon and Kanny will probably support my view.

    awesome. Yeah, I'm quite nervous about the basic handling. Hence It would be awesome if I could learn a little on a farm or something somewhere.. I do know a couple of people with farms to do it on...

    but yes, back to the MZ. It's been informative, what you guys have said. If I get a chance to actually view the bike, then I'll get someone to take it for a ride etc. and I'd have a seat to see if the bum matches the bike or visa versa. lol.

    lol, I don't mind russians

    yeah, I may have a look at it.. though I don't want to spend much extra on the bike as I'm kinda poor. So reasonable quality is the thing, and I heard tires are quite dear?
