guzzicat Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yes nice,was a team bike (USA )from 1975 from what I can gather ridden by Jim Hollander, he went on to compete with bike in Michigan ;til 1979.The MZ,s were a very underrated bike (Still are) Walter Kadens finest! I have Walters autograph on an Alan Shepherd photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Impressive condition. A credit to you. Is the engine a KTM? Walter Kaaden - top, top engine tuner. Edited February 17, 2018 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzicat Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Hi, 125 Sachs 6 speed, Penton (John) went on to work with KTM. Long an admirer of Kaden, B.Sheene was at the trackside with Walter when the late Bill Ivy came howling past on the mz twin he was killed riding, it had a missfire Walter said "Missing on the offside cylinder, he was right.. It destroyed him when Ernst Degner stole his bike & gave it to Japan with the collusion of the CIA.I seem to think Degner died in Tenerife in suspicious circumstances Edited February 17, 2018 by guzzicat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
