Hi Ossa fans! We got two of the 230:s early -68 to Finland, one for me and the other to my friend Eino Louhio, later head of the finnish federation. I took part in the 3:d round for the European Championship in Germany and in the St Cucufa Trial in Paris on it. Appearing on the front page of Motor Cycle Nov. 13,1968 , photo by Ed Bentley who gently sent me a copy of the paper, at that time the magazine with the worldwide largest circulation, is one of my many good memories. Das Motorrad magazine in Germany was interested in whether I was using asbestos gloves to move to extra silencer around! The bike was good for the fast transport parts and the engine stayed in tune longer than the others from the same country, that,s a positive part. My friend put his engine in a Montesa frame after the first year, now sadly both bikes have disappeared, most likely not to be found anymore. Gopod memories made me also first finnish owner of MAR later on. I have some b/w pictures from the time, but nothing special. Lasse Jahn
