Was listed for less than a day I think. Whatcha reckon, got an offer he couldn't refuse :o ::).
-
i was looking at that no wonder i couldnt find it when i searched for it again :)
-
An already Montesa owner and forum member now owns it. (Not me.) I'm sure he'll reveal all soon.

Hint: He has a VF 250...........
-
Yeah. Great. I was winning on that! There's a lot of pulling going on........

That's great 8). I happy to see it go to someone who will value, restore and keep it in Oz. I was thinking it was snapped up by one of those well heeled Spanish collectors. I know the GP360 is sort after and attracts good money. I wouldn't think the two fiddy would be far behind in collectability or value.

You gotta be quick Ross, it's dog eat dog out there. I spoke with the new owner who told me he also was sick of bidding on things only to have them pulled before the end. He decided to join those who ask the questions, negotiated a deal with the owner, and now it's his. Ebay bidders miss out. I say good luck and well done. I nearly bought a clockwork orange once but couldn't get my head around the right side gear shift. From memory I think 090 ended up with that one, don't think he still has it though.

Yeah. Well. I would have valued it, restored it, kept it in Oz, stroked it, kissed it and been all round nice to it!
Let's just hope it doesn't end up with a set of side-covers made out of warning signs..... :-\
-
It is not a set it is only one if I could get one out of fibreglass I would, Warning signs don't come in orange!!! :)
-
I would have thought they did! :-[
-
I am not going to get into an argument about this, I am sorry you missed out, I have missed out on so many bikes I have been watching because people ring up and offer cash. It turns out ebay is not an auction site just another way to advertise. I missed out on a GT500, CR250, GT750 Water Bottle, CZ all in the last month because of people giving cash straight up. I thought to myself can't beat them join them!!!
-
Mate. I'm not arguing. I'm saying that I would have thiought WARNING SIGNS would be orange in colour. Or Fluoro. As for the bike, I couldn't care. Congrats. But I'm still tickled pink by the VR that I just snapped up..... ;)
-
yeR THAT WAS MY vr YOU BASTARD 414, STOLEN FROM UNDER ME.............. I TELLS YA, STOLEN FROM UNDER ME :'(
-
Tom, I think Ross was baiting you and you took it hook, line, sinker, reel, rod, and most of the river bank with it ::) :-[. Bad boy Ross, bad boy just quiet down and play with the VR you stole from under my nose you rotten one of those that Freakshow said >:( :( :'(. Do you never sleep! ::)
Anyway Tom hope it turns up safely and is as described. I have come by some early Montesa spares ;) that my be able to help you out so give me a email if you get stuck.
-
Now ross missed out on the clockwork orange he is staying up all night with coffee and no doz to get the bargins he won't miss out again!!!!
-
Honestly I'm not in a bad mood (not here anyway!). It would have sat for a very long time and at the moment I really don't have the room for it. Plus I've finally started assembling the H7 and with keeping the race bikes up to scratch it's all a little too much!
As for your more than generous off Freaky......well. She just giggled and ran out the room...... ::)
Now Tom. These warning signs mate. They're normally orange in colour ok and............
-
nUTZ YOULL HAVE TO CHANGE YOUr SIG ( WITH THE gp) just to rub it in ;D
WHY IS IT CALLED CLOCKWORK ? do they explode at certain hours on the clock ?? ???
ahhh and re: the other 414.. so the missus knows the deal when you die ? great, think there are a few blokes on here who are planning a Lynch mob, so wont be too far away, might have it by Xmas then and ill pop my borbles out in the spirit of the festive season. ( might even give em a little shave so she can see her reflection in them ;D )
roll on chrissy ;)
-
How is that Freaky??? :)
It is called "clock work orange",that is what they were called back in the I think??
-
yar so it was called that , but why ? you cant just call shit somthingn if you dont know what its referance is too.
can someone enlighten us on this ? what does the clockwork relate to ?????
-
I have been told by more than one person these bikes were the fastest in there day and hard to keep up with, and maybe they ran like clock work?? Or some refrence to the movie, like you have to on drugs to ride it?? I have no Idea. Just throwing it out there,
Big K do you know why???
-
Don't know why Tom, but that's what they were called. Why were the grey ones' called grey ghost's? Who knows?
Cheers,
K

Ross ended up with the best Montesa purchase for some time but the seller also had a lot of parts that went elsewhere. Is someone going to own up and let the rest of us know what was scored, come on, no secrets in a big family! ;)
-
I collected aroung 600Kg of bits and pieces from the sellers mates place. Most of it is pre 78 parts. A mixture of new, slightly used and used parts. Unfortunately much of it is mixed up and will take some time to try and sort out to see what I actually have.
Several wheels, new hubs, crankcases, used cylinders, spokes, fork tubes and legs, triple clamps, several old model tanks (a couple look like GP or early VR). A lot of King Scorpion stuff. Heaps of gears but just all mixed together :o ::).
Three complete engines. Heaps of ignition systems including flywheels, lights and brake parts
The parts filled my Forester and 8x5 trailor. I basically wanted several parts but they would not seperate so I bought the lot.
-
I have a fetish for King Scorpion bits and pieces if you want to part with some of the haul, send me a pm if you sort it out :) Rob
-
MONTYNUT I,M AFTER A 77 360 FRONT END IF YOU HAVE ONE PM ME OR RING 0411173656.THANKS DREW
-
Sorry no front ends parts for a VB series only Betors. Possibly a front hub.
As I said much of it is for early models. I am hoping to sort it out over the next month or so. I probably should have kept quiet until it was sorted. I basically wanted a spare set of wheels for my MXer, forks for one of my trials bikes and any parts that will fit my H7. But it was all or nothng.
I was told that it was the remains of Ryan's parts and left overs. A lot of the boxes have Ryan's address on them. I will try to get some photos up soon as a lot of it will be difficult to identify. Most of the new parts have part numbers but a lot does not.
-
I am keen on the tanks like the GP ones and maybe a set of hubs!!!

Here in the states, the VE 414 was called "mean mr mustard" dues to the gas tank colour.
With time and sun, they have turned into a really disgusting dark brown.
-
their was a movie that can on to the big screen the same year as the orange montesa can out on sale. clock work orange, they are the same bikes that the works riders raced,
and the name stuck.
