A couple pictures from some riding we got in today.

The Montesas were a little finicky. One started fine cold but the idle was a little high. As soon as I dropped the idle down it wouldn't start. I think it maybe a too small of a pilot jet. It has a nicely resleeved Amal 627. It should have stock jets. Plenty of compression tho'.

The 123 is a hoot to ride but too small for me. It feels like my elbows are going to hit my knees. But with the bigger wheels it's a killer setup. Weighs almost nothing.

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon. Beats working.

Alan_nc's M92. Needs a rear muffler but otherwise rides fine. Oh, maybe different bars.

Anyone want to guess the mods on this bike?

I would have brought one of my bikes but they wouldn't have fit in my suitcase. And I think the airlines have a weight limit that a Bultaco will easily exceed.

We should have taken some action shots, but i guess we were all having too much fun riding! Or maybe it was exhaustion from kicking the late 247 to much.

Where in NC were you riding?

Belews Creek, which is between Stokesdale and Winston-Salem. Beautiful land, great terrain to ride on.

I had intended on taking action shots. We'll get some the next time we go.
