Tampa1257 Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Does it go faster than 20KM per hour? I would think you could walk faster than that Rob?
argon345 Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Now wait...you are going to buy Lisa a car and thats all you got for yourself?? Man now we really know who does all the work around there:rotfl:
El Presidente Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 175 cc 2 stroke motor. 80km per hour EASY!
El Presidente Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 That is a monter! I have spent some time on a Valkyrie 1600cc and that was scary enough. Dropped it first time out at a set of traffic lights while standing still. I will never forget trying to pick it up I was told recently that a man should only purchase a bike that he can benchpress. I looked at all the 50cc scooters but just couldn't do it !LOL!
Freefallguy Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I looked at all the 50cc scooters but just couldn't do it » !LOL! Those scooters are a lot like dating a fat woman; tons of fun to ride, but you’d NEVER want to be caught dead riding one.
n2advnture Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Don't let them give you grief Rob, that thing is SWEET!!! As soon as the training wheels come off, you can get one of these...:-P
dragon Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 That's a really snappy looking bike there Rob......did they include a nice little yellow dress with it?? And don't worry if the brakes don't work, you can just drag your feet on the ground to stop it :lol2:
Colt45 Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 » 175 Montesa Impala.........damn sexy! so sexy it hurts.
El Presidente Posted July 15, 2005 Author Posted July 15, 2005 You guys are hilarious. It doesn't come with a yellow dress but I do get a red ribbon and bell.
n2advnture Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Did you get the white plastic basket with the daisy on the front so your Yorkie and can ride with you & pink tassles that flow in the wind, from the handle bars? J/k of course. It's quite a nice looking cafe racer bro!!!
cvm4 Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Rob...I'm just curious here, but does Australia have a tiered motorcycle license requirement? After x amount of years, you can move up to a bigger cc bike, etc.?? I know Canada is like that.
El Presidente Posted July 15, 2005 Author Posted July 15, 2005 It has a dual system Believe it or not I have an OPEN motorbike licence...I can purchase anything I want to....really :-D There is a sub 250 cc restricted licence for people under 21.
dragon Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 A 2003 100th Anniversary V-Rod.....now that's a nice bike!
Curmudgeon Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Is that a Dunlop 207 front tire, Ray? I wouldn't have thought the V-Rod would have enough cornering clearance to be able to use such soft, sticky rubber.
Curmudgeon Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 »there is something called s t y l e Simple lines..classic looks....class. Rob, I have to agree . . . in general, that bike is beautifully styled, but one thing has been bothering me . . . is that a urinal under the seat?

Hey Bwana you know I am just yankin’ your chain. Speaking of chains… that motor is the same one that they put in the matching chainsaw model right??? Curmy… that ain’t no urinal babe… that was the new bedpan induction intake. It is kinda’ a pre-nitrous oxide thing. The more methane you generate the faster it goes. Backfires through the carb were no rarity though and as these things have no reed valves many an owner has suffered a serious recto-cranial inversion as the result of a backfire. It is how I got that plate in my head. On second thought… that might have been because of a Zundap! Okay Rob… sorry for busting your chops. I am just funnin’ you know. It is a cool scooter I just could not resist a little good fun. Yeah Curm it is a 207 and to answer your question the tire far exceeds the capability of the scooter and the intestinal fortitude of the rider as well. My knee draggin’ days are long over. With my hips requiring replacement (too many 45 minute motos and 200 mile enduros as a youngster) this is about the only thing that I can get on any more. After about 20 minutes in the saddle, even with this contraption, I am still suffering. If you guys want a real laugh I will have to scan a picture of me racing one of my old XR 500’s. What a pile of **** that thing was. What I loved most about it was that stupid 23 inch front wheel. Touch the brake in a corner… and down you went. I’ll have to post that if I can find it. Those were the days that we did something stupid every time we raced. Streamers on the helmet, Gumby on the handle bars… you know! I had taped on a cardboard crown on my helmet for that loop… really stupid. I laugh every time I come across the picture. Four inches of travel was cutting edge and we all thought we were Roger DeCoster! Ahhh, how I miss the smell of burning castor oil.
First Lady Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Boys All I can is that I laughed alot at the picture but I personally think that Piggy's bike is stunning and I have always wanted to own a bike like this.........Ah one day. The First Lady
El Presidente Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 A good laugh guys. I was thinking of getting a set of those dunlop 207's for the Montesa ;-)
sparks Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Thanks. Kind of an old picture. I had the screaming eagle stage 1 installed late last year. Put drag pipes on. Loud as hell. :-P
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Pick it up next week 175 Montesa Impala.........damn sexy! OK....show me yours :-P
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Piggy ...thankyou for your concern Now rest assured that should anything happen to me...Lise get's the business....and as you would know it would run seamlessly (note to self...check brake cable anytime Lisa is near bike). Let me put something staight you testosterone laden gorilla .....there is something called s t y l e Simple lines..classic looks....class. + it is likely the only one on this "Prison Continent" Beautiful bike by the way mate. Between all the chrome on the body and the plate in your head I am amazed the subsequent magnetic field doesn't cause electrical problems ;-)
Curmudgeon Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Love the styling on that Montesa, Rob! Here's a picture of me and my motorycle -- a 2005 BMW R1200GS -- in southern Utah. My riding buddy took this picture in May, in the middle of our 10-day ride in northern California, Nevada, and southern Utah.
PigFish Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Bwana… it would have been much smarter to take care of the First Lady here and get her that Beemer! I mean what kinda' guy wants a motorcycle with a double leading shoe front brake??? You got balls baby! Or, was that a rugby injury? Lisa dear... What is the going rate on life insurance for a wanker riding an outdated Montessa on the Prison Continent with an 'unlimited' (wooo!) license? We may need to get some. Piggy's scooter:
