1969 Bultaco El Bandito
CJ : I found that the weight sat back is this bike-
and this made it very easy to skim across rough terrain-
my choice for handling by a mile.

Pierre : It's , immediately comfortable-
like a sewing machine....
I didn't have to learn anything- it didn't pound me

Roger : what can I say? it's just been a sweet thing-
power is good - it could use more bottom end power- It's a 4-Speed, so ya gotta think when you ride it.

1969 Montesa 360 Cappra
CJ : the weight sits forward, and it was hard to pick
the front end up, and I really had to muscle the bike
around the course- and had to learn HOW to ride it

Roger : the Montesa is the Brute of them all, it vibrates,
it's hard to start, it's cantankerous

Pierre : you'd think a big bore like this would just pull you
out of anything- but it doesn't- it just falls right off the power- if you're in 2nd gear and you're going up that hill
and you're going too slow it will not pull you out of it

1969 CZ Sidepipe
CJ : Pierre & I agreed that bike felt TWITCHY above all other
things- the shifting was natural- that's from having raced a CZ for some years now- and yet the bike didn't feel anything like my own CZ, and also nothing like Tom McAllister's CZ Sidepipe.

Roger : good powerful bike- more abrupt from idle to midrange-
handles well- it's a torque monster- comin' into a corner and
comin' out that bike is awesome- and stone simple...
