The Ossa Byra. Yeah, because sometimes a Yankee 500 twin isn't enough... ::)

OOPS   :(
  Known  as  the  "Ossa  Mayor"  ("The  big  Bear"),  this  bike  is  one of  the  most  charismatic  in  the  history  of  Spanish  motorcycles,  and masterpiece  from  the  engineer  Fernando  Batlló.
 Starting  from  the  base of a Yankee  engine,  to  which  he  added  two  extra  cylinders,  one  either side, making  it  to  a  977  cc.  four  cylinders.  Driven  by  his  sons,  Jesus 
and Javier,  the  bike  showed  great  potential,  after  electrical  problems  were solved  first  and  traction  (transmission  of  power  to  the  ground) afterwards.
 The  frame  was  inspired  on  the  Yankee  one  due  to  the 
almost 100HP  delivered." 
Personal  note:  I  have  read  that  with  cylinders  from  a  Phantom  and special  exhausts  the  bike  delivered  115  HP.

Most likely the Montjuich event.


Edit : Just noticed Montjuich 1972 in tiny print behind the front wheel.

I thought this picture of Geoff Ballard (?), probably belongs in a classic photograph thread ( although this thread probably also belongs in the photo forum section).
Note that he still has one finger on the clutch lever.

I bet this hurt . Still hanging on to the bars though, so he still thinks he might be able to save it. Lucky he has all the safety gear on , like the sandshoes and denim shorts. This thread probably belongs in the photo section.
