Count me in with everyone else....a sweet collection. The 250GP Clockwork Orange Monty has to be one of the more distinctive bikes in motocross history. The orange 'glass/white frame, lumpy tank shape and long and low stance separate them from the run of the mill copy cat classic motocrosser. Sydney racer, the legendary Billy Brown has been winning in pre '70 for two decades on his 250GP and I'm surprised more haven't turned out after seeing Bill and his in action.
It's also nice to see a well presented Rickman Monty in the stash as well. While they're not my favourite Rickman they're still a great example of the succesful union of British craftmanship and Spanish engineering.
