At 68 years old, I still have vivid memories of my 250 Montessa trials bike 🏍️ and my 250cc Ossa Pioneer. I am blessed with owning Over a dozen bikes and my life And those were my favorite along with a HODAKA ROAD TOAD eye 👁️ purchased for my Girlfriend who is now my wife of 40 years. LIVE TO RIDE. RIDE TO LIVE 🏍️

Awesome and entertaining story you told. It's quite obvious that you are a passionate motorcycle owner, rider, and fan. Sounds like you had many good times in life as a motorcycle enthusiast. I love hearing about and reading happy stories like yours. Your good and happy memories evoke haopy memories, within myself, of all of the good times my deceased Father and I had, riding dirtbikes, when I was a young kid and we went camping. Thanks for your story. It truly made my heart smile. Keep riding brother and take care of yourself. ❤

This is the kind of bike I use to dream about when I was a little kid.

🐝🏁 beautiful bike. My first bike was supposed to be a montessa 175, I was gonna buy it for $200. I was 13, and the guy backed out. I was so disappointed that my dad stopped at the Campbell Suzuki store, and I bought a brand new TM 100 for $600. Boy, I was in heaven, I love motorcycles ✌️

It has a sound all its own 👍

And the weekend begins!!! Thanks Ken!

[@RDEnduro]

Whoa that looks fun, i like that most vintage bikes you can find the ground easy on the trail versus a new bike where your seat height is so high

[@davidgregory3643]

I'm from the uk 🇬🇧 found this channel and now hooked brilliant restoration work on this bikes. 👍

[@tommaples9174]

I had a Rickman/Montesa. Much Much more power than anything else before 1973

[@user-fi7pd3qy9z]

Nice bike. One of those I could only dream of owning, I'm really happy you uys share. Take it easy Ken , sounds like comming down with something!

[@johnmartin2079]

[@craighoffman6876]

Damn man, you are coming up with collectible gold lately! Drooled over these as a kid.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

That is one gorgeous vintage MX dirtbike. The paint job is stunning. Woody has amazing and rare talent. Definitely better than most.

[@metalgeniusjoe5602]

You keep knocking it out of the park with awesomeness! Commendable, Ken.

Metisse means biracial. Pursang means pure blooded horse

[@americanwriter2533]

🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️⚖️⚖️👁️I had that bike! My dad paid $800. dollars in 77/78. From Eastern Harley on Long Island. The Amal carb would stick wide open because the mud flats where I rode, clay particles went through air filter. I'd have to jump off and let it ghost ride, I was 15. It eventually crashed, screaming full throttle, then stall when no more gas! Those were the days of 'Rickman Man!' 🤪😂🤣😇Hope to get to museum this summer! MAGA Trump!

[@keithgore6285]

Ken I entered in the bike raffle and I don’t have a ticket number or anything to show I’m entered. Can you by chance explain how it works to me? Or maybe someone who knows? Thanks

[@KaplanCycles]

Call the shop monday 860 454 7024 for details between noon and 4 pm est

[@keithgore6285]

@@KaplanCycles will do, thank you for the response.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

​@@keithgore6285I can help you. I enter most of the contests. Once you buy a ticket. Your name gets input into a computer with your phone number, and they call you if you win. If you've never done business with them before, and they don't have your phone number and address, ***THEN YOU NEED TO CALL THE SHOP AND GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFO, IN WHICH THEY WOULD STILL CALL YOU IF YOU WIN. ****
