your bike looks great without stickers on, i have removed most of my mont's stickers, cant stand em!

"fanda" would have sounded better!

ah, i see, after seeing your pics i realised you probably wern't Phil.

hi OAS Motercycles, is that Phil? i am coming to see you guys later this week to try on some diadora boots. we spoke before the weekned. i will be looking to join a club and get out riding as much as possible. gotta sort out some transport for the bike first though! cheers for the replies take it easy Mark

hi James, i live in east/mid devon, half an hour from exeter. spend a fair bit of time in torquay too. where in cornwall are you?

thanks for the replies! by the way i have no need to ask which bike is best as i already know ) we all know how brand loyal trials riders are! i look forward ot entering a few local trials and trying my luck against some of the other guys round here. take it easy Mark

hi, i have been brouwsing the forums for a while now and have read a lot of interesting stuff. I thought id post up and say hi, Im Mark im 25 and live in devon in the uk, i recently bought a 02 montesa and thats what has brought me here. have always been into bmx and after riding my friends 315 i had to have one! its like a bmx with an engine anyway hello to everyone, i hope to have a long and enjoyable stay! take it easy Mark

thats looks good, is that a bit of rust coming through on the weld towards bottom of the pic? or is it just mud?! you could try gentry rubbing down the scratches with some wet&dry, might make them look a bit better.

just to let you all know i bought the bike and am now a proud montesa owner

he came from near where i live, there have been many tributes and such in the local papers etc. he had been touring for over 2 years i believe, all for charity too. seemed like quite a guy.

thanks for that Hughesy, im off to look at it tomorrow so ill make a note of what you have said. much appreciated Mark

hi, I have now confirmed from the frame number that this is an 02 bike, any other tips on what to look for would be appreciated though. i know that the bash plate can sometimes bend and damage the engine casing, i will be looking for that. i cant wait to get riding!

hi, this is my first post here, seems to be a pretty good forum so thought id ask my questions in here. im going to look at a second hand 2002 315r its the first bike i have bought and my only experience with them is my friends 1998 315r which i have spent a lot of time on. is there and thing i should look out for? and whats the easiest way to tell its an 02 bike? i have the frame number and its got 02 in it whereas on ebay a 01 315r has 01 in the same place on the number, i take it thats the year then? or is it just a coincidence? many thanks Mark
