Never had any of those but I did know of them! Researching on those was a library and not the internet these days. I do remember Ossa lighly or the name I thing but for sure remember Montesa! Book stuff! I always then or now really wanted hodaka because of the awesome names they had. Wombat! lol
I've rebuilt many of those. When pressing the crank together, the bed on our press would actually bow. My boss always said they use good metal. That explains all the holes in the sheet rock when the undersized press snapped back and spit out the press spacers. Love those old bikes though. Good memories.
No shit bro that is cool as hell man you have some history with these bikes I was lucky to ride one when I was about 15 and I'm 54 and it was an experience and way different from anything I have ever rode was pretty damn cool and you know brother Ken is a walking motorcycle encyclopedia he knows anything and everything about all bikes and he always blows my mind when he see some jewelry like high-dollar Forks for shock pretty much anything he was spotted out he's definitely the best in the business there ain't nobody on this planet as good as this brother when it comes to motorcycles and he keeps all these cool old school some bitches rockin' right back out to all of us great people man this is the only bike shop I will ever support💯 but I think it's damn cool you got history with these bikes man ain't too many people can say that💯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💚🤝🏼

I only knew the Bultacos, but I don't doubt what you say. Those bikes really did work well. The Japanese did so well with their bikes that many manufacturers back then closed their doors.
That is one beautiful and rare gem. Woody did an amazing paintjob and graphics job on this bike..This bike is as old as I am, and She Is Gorgeous. The new owner of this bike will be very happy and proud. This bike will sell very quickly! ML&R. ❤
Chicken Burrito , I’ve got a Buddy with something like that , but his is Red & Silver if I remember correctly, it’s garage ART , he doesn’t ride it since he restored it , maybe once a year , he bought it in high school
Kan you always blow my mind on the classics there ain't nobody like Ken Kaplan, another mind-nobbing classic dirt bike. I love the color, the baby blue and the white. That is one sexy machine sir. Absolutely great filming Ronnie beautiful classic Chrissy's beautiful plates sir. I must say I've never seen one. What an amazing classic!
Im drooling! Great Job! Was it Bultaco that had the 2 rear sprockets to in a way have a high and low range? Kinda like a bicycle with speeds. Anyone know what I am talking about and who it was? That was so long ago I cant remember who did that but kinda think it was Bultaco knowing I may be off.
Oh yeah and another thing you guys the museum might have 10K in this bike but you get what you pay for this is somebody's dream bike from the childhood and what's that special person sees this bike they will pay whatever the museum does the best work in the world they do it all and the crew loves to do what they do it shows big time and when you find people that love to do what they love to do then you end up getting the best of the best 💯% Fact's, ken give everybody my love brother this Dime Piece is mind-blowing cool💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌏🇺🇲💚🤝🏼
@@KaplanCycles big welcome brother Ken and thank you brother for so many years you have put in lots of hard work lots of long hours it don't go unnoticed brother ML&R ALWAY'S 💯🌏🇺🇲💚🤝🏼
I BOUGHT A NEW 74 250 ALPINA THE RUBBER LICENSE PLATE MOUNT WAS FOLDED TO HOLD THE PLATE UPRIGHT AND THE TAIL LIGHT WAS PLACED BY FACTORY MUCH LOWER ON FENDER ABOVE PLATE. GREAT TRAIL BIKE IN ALASKA FOR HUNTING LATER I BOUGHT THE 74 350 ALPINA USED AND LEFT IT IN JUNEAU AK. IN 1979
God bless your daughter for quoting her favorite Scripture before all the world to see and hear. May their hearts receive this Word and respond rightly to it. That, my friends, is beholding the glory of the LORD! Amen. Romans 8:18 NASB1995 [18] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Wow! that Bultaco looks straight outta a Steve McQueen movie! Really beautiful bike!
A stunning example from an era long gone by. Respectfully restored to glory. A real diamond
Always wanted one. Wound up with a Ossa Pioneer. Had a Montesa. Spanish bikes were cool.
Never had any of those but I did know of them! Researching on those was a library and not the internet these days. I do remember Ossa lighly or the name I thing but for sure remember Montesa! Book stuff! I always then or now really wanted hodaka because of the awesome names they had. Wombat! lol
I never had one either but I got to ride one when I was about 15, and it was way different I ain't never rode anything like it👍🏼👍🏼💚🤝🏼
Tkx for another classic Ken!!!
Thanks for listening

nice to see thx Kaplan crew and Big Ken
Awesome bike. I had Ossa Montessa. Spanish bikes were awesome.
The new Sherpa bikes are related to Montessa Ossa etc.

Nice bike! I dislocated my shoulder on an Alpina 350, when I was 16 - in 1985...

Bultacos were super cool in the 70's.

🐝🏁 Great Job Ken looks beautiful 👍

Excuse me, I was lost in a time warp for a while there. It doesn't get much cooler than this, IMO.
That thing is awesome
So Beautiful!

They were hill climbers and wheelie kings with the trials gearing and torque on a more comfortable frame.
Nothing against that bike but just look at the difference between a 1973 and 1983 similar bike.. what an era
