  1. 'Montessa'...ahhh, that brings back vivid memories of being on holiday in '76 on the 'costa packet' where every morning a young Spanish maiden would ride past our appartment on her Montessa on her way to the beach wearing only denim shorts and a khaki vest and her sunkist her would flow behind her leaving me and my brother in awe and sticky pants!!:rolleyes:
     
  2. Id be happy with a honda c90

    Me and my mates bought one of the scrap man when we were 14 and we had many injuries over the fields but the honda kept going

  7. I had a TV200 years ago, it was being used as a prop in a menswear shop and I persuaded the owner to sell it to me. Had it for a couple of years then sold it for £250. My mate told me what they are worth now:eek:. Thats going to look nice Keith:thumbsup:

    and then did a full nut and bolt resto on it. I will tr and load some photos of it.
