I dunno, that centre of gravity seems to have crept forward a bit.  Wonder how it handles?

Gee. That's come down...... :-\

That's exceptional buying at the moment; new this, new that. Mick is probably hoping for another thou or so. Maybe I should buy it as a spare ::). At least I would have one that runs :P :-[.

Is that tank the correct tank ???. To my eye its sitting a bit high at the front.

Montesa's should only have valves in the tyres.

Come to think of it all dirt bikes should.   Long live the 2 smokers!

Just having a bit of a cull Ross, shed full of bikes, no time and a very ill wife. Took a hit on the Monty but it was hanging around a bit too long. The buyer has got himself a ready to race bargain!
Cheers,

Yeah, got slapped in the face with the cold hard truth just last week. The reality is hitting hard. We are still waiting on test results to form a battle plan and maybe some idea of a time frame. No good either way.
Cheers,
