guys Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 What a tragic ending! I first assumed it was a road bike because of the saddle bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Does Montesa have some sort of Devils Contract with the film industry? Seems like any time a Trials bike is used it is a Montesa! (OH NO now the Montesa nuts are going to post about how it is because it is the best bike in the universe! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanorbust Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 When he jumps on the bike at the start of the scene and stamps it into gear looks like it has a right side gear change. Was this the case with early Cotas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bultacorock Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I could not remember the name of the movie ( Freebie and the bean, thanks toofasttim ) i think if it was a bultaco he would have held on to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm sure you were there cleanorbust - http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/44300-early-cota-club/ "Very smart. You will no doubt be aware of the care required when starting these earlier models with the RHS gear lever. I recall one at the start of the SSDT at Gorgie cattle market. The thing gassed up and would not start so the rider gave it a really good kick with the throttle wide open - needless to say it fired at full bore just before the starter lever slammed the thing in to gear - he took away the starter's table and sent the gent flying. Rather early for a five." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) From another TC thread (http://www.trialscen...e-rode-montesa/) The US Montesa importer at the time was a pretty savvy marketer and tried to give Neil Armstrong a Mont. Armstrong was more savvy (this was earlier than this: http://en.wikipedia...._stamp_incident but the penalty would have been similar) and politely declined. I'm sure Martin Belair will be able to tell us more stories. Edited July 2, 2013 by toofasttim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
