I reckon' it probably went from there to the Warnambool shop. Apparently the owners son used to ride it so I'd say Lyall probably gave it to him. I wouldn't be suprised if it was the only one that came here.

the montesa shop in warnambool would have been Phil Russell motorcycles  my old scramble mate, montesa rider in the 70`s, and l am sure he rode bultaco. He is into yachting now. but still has the bike shop, as you enter the town.

This was my rare Montesa that l bought off Lyall O`Brien, Lyall built this bike from NOS Parts that he had in stock for his Son Gary, gary rode it for a full vintage
season, that l bought it, l raced to bike at South Australia, and 2 full season of vintage and moved it on, that was a very big mistake. A very fast bike.
