    Hey joeman

    Whats the story with the mc 258, I live in Denmark. But can't seem to find any for sale here or in sweden, I often look on blocked, newer found one. Some one told me, that they wen't out of duty as late as in 2005 and where not sold out to public, because of pollution issues from the old 2 smoker?

    Hi Peter,

    most of the 258 went out from regular Army in 2005-07, there are now in use in National Guard.
    Some lucky one were issued to keep theirs, incl. me :)

    None will be sold to the puplic due to several reasons, pullution issues etc.

    to bad, it's a great bike!
