My first motorcycle was a Moto Beta 100. It was the Enduro model, as my Dad would not let me have the scrambler version! Didn't matter, I took the lights off and gutted the exhaust anyway. Rode that thing around the fire roads in Medford Oregon for about a year and then graduated to an orange tank cappra in in 1968 and never looked back! Since then I have been involved with Montesa motorcycles and was a Montesa mechanic for six years (1972-78) at Arizona Sport Cycles in Phoenix Arizona. I raced motocross and rode trials starting in 1970 and was the traveling mechanic for our shop sponsored rider T.J. Warren in 1975 and raced at Rio Bravo, Saddleback Park, Indian Dunes, as well as all the tracks in Arizona.(Canyon, ADR, Metro, ACP, Fastrack,Beeline, Mayer) I still ride trials (vintage and modern) and am actively involved in the local vintage and evolution motocross scene in Arizona. I also semi sponser three Montesa racers and fully sponser an 80' VG 414. In 1998 I purchased the inventory of Montesa parts from Cosmopolitan motors, the US importer. I now restore bikes, sell parts and build engine's for people all over the world as well as many A.H.R.M.A racers and trials competitors.
