What's the history on it? Who owned/where from?The Montano bike was an ex BOT Mk4 I recommissioned for the race. Finished it last week.
What's the history on it? Who owned/where from?
Bike was originally built by a guy called Ron Maas. He raced BOT in the late 80s at Daytona etc. Crashed it at Brainard (sp) in 88 and parked it. It was bought and brought out West a few years ago and sold to my friend Rick. I eventually inherited it 3 or 4 years ago and it sat at my shop unloved.
A few months ago Tom was looking for a ride for the Laguna event and I recommissioned it from parts I had laying around and eBay. Sport 1100 engine, California 18" wheels, California triples and forks, V11 clutch and flywheel, 40mm Dellorrtos, Saches ignition.
For sale btw
Damn. For some reason the video is now private.....Passwd ?
Yeah, odd... when you first posted it, it wasn't. Is that a paid streaming service Andrew?Damn. For some reason the video is now private.....
Original link was on Vimeo but the race was streaming from MotoAmerica. Maybe the poster on Vimeo got shut down.....Yeah, odd... when you first posted it, it wasn't. Is that a paid streaming service Andrew?
Likely. MA has a paid streaming service. Below is from RRW. Well done to you and Tom.Original link was on Vimeo but the race was streaming from MotoAmerica. Maybe the poster on Vimeo got shut down.....
I thought at first that the class was going to be an embarrassing and painful disaster, but I was impressed with the level of creativity (and $$$$) thrown at them. Adding the MGX fairing and bags to a Custom or Audace would be best, but then you're stuck with as delivered gearing on these bikes. Also, the race winners had 150 hp/150 torque, which I can easily get to with a Supercharger!I think Todd needs to be in the next bagger race on a Guzzi at Laguna Seca. That was awesome!

I sure would like to see this race if someone has a link. Good on you Gray for your results. That’s a great result going against the four cylinder bikes in a short race.
I know, isn’t that hysterical?
Next well see the Goldwing Ding-a-ling class for racing fully clad 2-wheeled Winebagos!
