Calling all 1983 to 2009 model TZ owners!!

[tzeggy14]

.
I am just about ready to begin researching/writing Volume 2 of "The Bible", which will cover TZs built between 1983 and 2009.

Does anyone have any magazine articles on these bikes, both 125 or 250?

Are there any guys who own and/or race one of them, or did in the past?
I need your experiences with these machines.
What were they like to own, maintain and ride?
How much did the bike cost you?
How many were around in the day?
Were they competitive?
Where there any problems with them?

Also, I need stuff like copies of:

• Owners Manuals
  Parts Lists
  Magazine articles
  Factory Service Bulletins
  Photos
  Advertisements
  Ignition maps
  Exhaust dimensions/diagrams
  Portmaps
  anything

You WILL be included in the "Acknowledgements" section of the new book, just like all contributors were in the first volume.

Thanks in advance for any assistance provided. It's the contributors who made the first book such a success.

Cheers,
Greg
