The last time I spoke with them (and it's been a while, maybe 2010 or 2011), Herm Sr. was running Herdan which dealt with the Morini parts. Herm Jr. was running Hermy's, the Triumph / BMW dealership. I would think that many Morini parts are now hard to source, but I have not needed any in quite awhile. I still get regular emails from Hermy's, so someone is there.

The listing for the Skorpion has expired. Anyone know if it's still available? Anyone have contact info for the seller? Thanks

John

I just searched the Reading Craigslist in case it was re-listed. No results.

I watch the local CL sites pretty closely. If it gets re-listed, I'll post a link.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

you could look for the old ad using the way back machine I think.
but you need the exact address to the add.. did you ever visit the CL ad? you can fund the address in your brouser history.

john fish · « **Reply #65 on:** January 22, 2016, 05:43:55 PM »

Thanks. I did that but it took me to a 'This ad has expired" page.

Oh well, I bet he'll put it up again sometime. I keep doing a MZ craigslist search. Found this, but it's not what I'm looking for:

Hmm, I thought they came from East Germany?

By time the Rotax powered MZs were built, it was all one Germany again.

Yeah, he's a bit confused. This East German MZ is a personal favorite, but I'm a sucker for those old six days trial bikes.

If memory serves this was one of a a pair of MZ's that was listed on Harrisburg CL 3 or 4 years ago. The price was something like $3,500 for the pair. I was too late. They were gobbled up with an hour of posting.

5,000km's = 8,000 miles

I got a chuckle from that too.

It's more like 8,000 km = 5,000 miles.

I think I know that bike. It's looking like the Philadelphia Riders Group are selling off their MZs. If I lived back East that bike would of already been mine. I loved the MZS and finally when I was able to buy one the shut their doors. Abruptly at that. But the Skorpions in particular have a warm spot in my heart.

Oh, how I wanted a Skorpion Replika.

Attaboy, John..

Perseverance wins the day again.

john fish · « **Reply #76 on:** March 06, 2016, 10:24:33 AM »

Thanks, Chuck. Now I need a mess of perseverance to clean up the garage.

Last year, I was determined to make the bikes a large part of my life again. Seemed like work, working on the old house, and lack of biking commitment was conspiring to make me one of those old fellows with bikes in the garage that were infrequently ridden and poorly cared for. I was on the way to being a "I used to ride a lot" fellow. So, I made it a point to ride a lot last summer. Living so close to West Virginia, I had easy access to great roads.

Also, I started a little local group that let me meet some great riding partners. Man, I had forgotten what great therapy bikes are and what great company a few good riding partners can be. Feels like I'm back on track now. I decided I needed a light weight roadster and the MZ, at under 400lbs was just the ticket and just weird enough to fit in with the Geese.

Now, I need a little dual sport. Back to CL.

Glad to see another disorganized garage like mine and a MuZ like I have(Tour) too.

My `00 Tour is the best handling bike I've ever ridden. Good for long distance too.
