Montesa second love
« on: March 23, 2010, 03:53:34 am »
Hello i am Maarten from the Netherlands.
I found this site by searching for montesa stuff. Its the only second forum i find with a montesa part .The other one is tumoverde in spain.
At age of 12 (1980)i got a cota 123 . I rode it for 6 years almost every day .
When i became 14 i wanted to race mx and wanted to go for a honda cr 125 but my father didn`t allow it.That was japanese rubbisch .
Because he had lived for 20 years in spain he came allong with a brand new 1980 cappra 125vf.
I didn`t like it because it was the time the japanese bikes became popular and better.
However i race it about 6 years .At the time the bike was ugly but it rode remarcable well .It go fast whith only 24ps.
When the bike seized i sold it for a electric gitar :-[
Later when i was merried i started race again first on a 88 kx250
after that a yzf400 ,and a crf450. After riding 3 years 4stroke i was thinkin what is wrong with me.But it was`t me ,
it was the 4stroke what was quilty .With a exc300 2stroke i was back again.
Then i got a montesa h7 360 witch i now transforming to a cappra to race in the dutch twinshock competition.

Later more .I must saddle the horses my daughters  must go to the ponyclub

hahaha
don`t mind i have a thick skin from al that falling of the bike ;D
The h7 has no more a rigistration for rode use thats why i hammered  8)the lights off and flexed
the raer frame off .
There is no much difference with a cappra vg only faster.
shall i do you more pain 414 ?

 i kicked the 6speed gaerbox also out it must make place for a 4 or 5speedbox
and at the moment there is fitting a honda front end in it
because the original marzocchi fork has a discbrake hahah

soon i wile post some pictures
