hi all, im from the middlesbrough area and have just got back into riding, im no stranger to it and have been riding for over 30 years lol, ive had many bikes including graeme jarvis's scorpa easy that he rode in the 1998 sheffeild arena trial, ive just bought myself a montesa 315r lampkin rep on a 2003, bought as non runner sat in a garage for three years so im gonna get it sorted soon, its in nice condition so im happy with it.

ill be going back to my old riding ground at guisbrough ( charltons) so if you ride up there and see me on it say hello.

im offshore at the moment so i cant wait to get home and play ( 1 week to go)

great site by the way.

Hi m8, l have only just joined the site and don't have a bike yet, i'm a little out of touch, i have been looking at montesa myself but the only thing that puts me off is a friend of mine had a montesa but it didn't seem to have much grunt but at the time i was on a bultaco 340 so could of been used to something with a lot of power, could you let me know how yours handles and also how much should i be paying for around about the same year.

Regards

Tony

hi tony, i will do when i get it up and running properley, its got a fan issue ( isnt working) and the carb needs a good clean so ill be getting stuck in when i get home

i gave £800 for it as a non runner, its only going to be the carb as is nearly always the case with bikes standing for a long time
