It's got potential:

Racing, engineering, defection and spying - god knows how they're going to fit it all into half an hour, but it could be good.

Olaf is a good MTB'er as well, strong as an ox. I used to live in Tenerife, where he lives as his family ended settling there, top bloke.

That would make a fantastic film, shame Hitchcock never got his hands on it!

Thanks for raisng this. I will listen to it on the iplayer, will be a bit atmospheric as I'm in former USSR at present, not quite gmbh but similar.

I love MZ's. Got a ETZ251 from 95 ish tucked up in my parents garage. Must get it out sometime.

An interesting read and I can recommend "Team Suzuki" by Ray Battersby for further reading on the subject (now reprinted apparently).
