Just picked up a 1976 MT250

When you going to find me a bike?

RESTORE!!

Please do, Ohio too.

Restore, the old elsinores are classic!

[quote="ThePipe":c541b]You should pm Mosher
He has a nice 87 CR250 for sale unless you want something older with drum brakes.[/quote:c541b]

PV class, no discs.

Get rid of it and stay focused on the motocross theme.

[quote="ThePipe":251eb]Should I restore it or Part it?

Restore it, throw a plate on it, and sell for millionz at VMD this year...would a cool legal Mid-Ohio pit bike.

And yes, I've been trying to help Alph find a PV too.

See what I picked up Saturday...

What the hell is that orange bike? That thing is wacky!

Ossa Pioneer.

The place where we took some kids to ride a couple weeks ago was owned by a guy who used to run a salvage shop. Nice remote place in the foothills, green grass, oak trees, nice fresh track.

He had a pioneer there. And about 500 other bikes, too. All over the place. Including a fair number of YZ's and CR's from late 70's to early 80's. Amazing. Said he has about that many in another location.

I had some fun picking around that place, as did my boy. What a boneyard.

By the way, i think I'd part the MT. I don't think there's anything to special about one that isn't in better shape than that. Use your restoration energy on something more special.

Yes, FTE is all over it...

1969 Ossa Pioneer 230

Mosher, didn't I just see those on E-Bay?

restore it. i wanted one of those so bad back in the day.

I don't think so...I picked up a few miles from my house...saw 'em on Craigslist.

MT's were the "poor man's" CR Elisnore.

I would like to see it restored...but, I say that about all the older bikes. Got a soft spot for them.

mt's blow...move on

You're going to want to hook up with Keith Lyman over at the club (typhoon67). He bought the entire Ossa inventory when they folded. The guy has more bikes/parts/crap? than Primm and Terry B combined, but it, unfortunately, hasn't been catalogued and/or fully restored.

Thanks, I didn't think of contacting him.

Wasn't the MT the street/dirt enduro with the brown engine? They were reliable but slow assed slugs on both the street and dirt.

My dad had a Pioneer just like that one. I remember thinking it was ugly back then, nice to look back and realize I was right.
