|

| Nothing is going to happen. I talked to Ray today and he has some personal things in his life he needs to change. He is also leaving florida and moving back to New York where he came from. Don't worry, the 1000's is still comming out with 2 other 1000's behind it. Also, there will be a 150cc and 250 cc comming out soon with the 150 due this month |

Anyone know if Joe is out of the business also. When I purchased my bike about a month ago, he seemed pretty tight with Ray.

You are lucky, at least you havew an official importer. In the UK the dealers have to import MZ's direct from Germany.
