It did help a little that I had some new cases ;D

The frame is almost ready for the TIG

Lucky it wasn't red - that is always really bad news ;)

Did you use an eraser to repair the damage?

I thought the pen was mightier than the spanner or was it something else :)

It is actually a stealth pen. It looks like a harmless blue pen but is in actual fact a full strength BLACK pen. The case did not call for the nuclear force of a red pen what do think I am some sort of psychopath  ::).

No it was well past an erasor it required correction fluid and tape :D :D

Wait until you see my special welding tools  ;)


Oh yeh by the way you guys are pricks  :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D

Very nice Greg.
Don't mess it up to much in Victoria, it will need to be that nice at the CRC!

Have a great time down south.

Hope you left the retractable biro springs in the forks - they are useful in preloading the saggy original springs Montesa supply standard :) ;)
 Looks great by the way!

Post by: Slakewell on April 21, 2011, 07:10:47 am
Great looking bike almost wish I didn't sell mine.
Very underrated bike IMO fast and light and they don't need allot of setup to be very competitive.
Glad to see another one getting out there. Lyal told me he sold hundreds of them back in the day but were are they now?

Hey Slakewell, if you don't get any answers to " where are they now " just keep asking the question.    In fact feel free to ask anything you like and Post anything you like, just as long as you keep using that avatar  :D.

Sorry no idea just gave it to my paint guy who mixed it to mate the original colour on the under side of the tank.

I was flagging at the MX track and your bike sounded sweet and looked to be handling well too. Good job!
Title: Re: VR250 Complete
Post by: montynut on April 25, 2011, 10:49:00 pm
Still have a lot of front fork sorting to do as the new fork springs are way too stiff :(.

Also had a small problem with the clutch which kept loosing adjustment ??? hopefully sorted this weeks. I was very impressed with engine performance and handling. Now just to get the rider up to the same standard  ::)

Very sweet looking bike, but wait until you give it heaps.  My first resto (not this pretty) after discovering VMX about 5 years ago was one of these.  I was looking for a Bultaco or Ossa, but a VR came along.  Fast, handles well, starts easily (stick with a Bing, they leak, but give great power).  Mine made me look much better than I am.

Yes Mike they are one of the prettiest bikes of that era in my opinion. I also prefer the Bing but unfortunately that was one part that was missing so presently it has a Mikuni. I am keeping my eye out for a Bing as I find them much simpler than the Mikunis and they seem to suite the Monties best.
