  2. The owner is in his 50s or 60s. He took over the shop from his Dad so he's been around motorcycles his whole life. He's still competes on trial bikes. Just a great guy. He showed me pictures of himself on rides with the late Fabrizio Meoni who a local hero who won Paris to Dakar twice.

  3. I have a Hodaka Wombat, an OSSA Pioneer, an OSSA Desert Phantom (all purchased new) and a 79 Husky CR 250 purchased from a racer who had been in the company's regional support team. I had not ridden any of them since 1982 but am restoring all of them to functionality. Restoring the 70 year old body is a different issue.

    I have both factory and Chilton's manuals as well as many old spares but some parts are difficult to acquire. A few are no longer legal and require a "resto-mod". Neither the silencers, the spark arrestors nor the street-legal lighting and speedometer are approved for most of the U.S. today and many states would require the addition of turn signals even for enduro use.

    1. Flying Bob, great to here from you. If you need OSSA parts you want to try Alex Snoop in NY state. I had a very good experience with him when I was rebuilding my Stiletto.
