Passing thought - why are so many trails bike makers Spanish??

Ossa, and Montesa (then Bultaco) developed in the Barcelona area (the oldest industrial part of the kingdom, aside Basque country), building relatively cheap and above all local (national) motorcycles in a market made for them (pre- and post-war Spain, for Ossa and Montesa, and Derbi or Sanglas, with rather low income in the families, meant that people in need of transportation would first envision the purchase of a bike).

Engineering being what it is, Ossa, Derbi, Montesa (and Bultaco too, when thy broke from was Montesa) were very early involved in racing, in their categories, with succes coming pretty soon, on road (Ossa's Herrero, Derbi's Nieto) and on dirt. When the competition with Japanese became too uneven, they concentrate in a niche, trial, where their engines and frames did many wonders. The three brands attracted the best trial riders of the time (I regret to have to say they were British), fed up with their 4-stroke engines. And that is how they built international fame. For a while.

Oublie pas Coutard, Prato et pas mal d'autres Français qui avaient fait très fort au tournant des années 70/80...

Pis j'oubliais Gilles Burgat: Champion du monde trial 1982...
Autre petit détail: M.A.R, chez Ossa, signifie Mick Andrews Replica. Griffe d'un immense bonhomme!

Ah voui, bien sûr, mais les Français sont venus après les Miller, Andrews, Lampkin et autres rosbifs.
