Southwest Montesa

It was the Enduro model, as my Dad would not let me have the scrambler version! I took the lights off and gutted the exhaust anyway. I rode that thing around the fire roads in Medford Oregon for about a year and then graduated to an orange tank Cappra 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 Arizo

na 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. We 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 post vintage motocross scene in Arizona. I also semi-sponser three Montesa racers and fully sponsor an 80' VF 414. In 1992, I purchased my first inventory and began Southwest Montesa. I restored bikes, sold parts and built engines for people all over the world, as well as many A.V.D.R.A and A.H.R.M.A racers and trials competitors. In 2019, due to health reasons, I had to sell my inventory and retire. Southwest Montesa has been turned over to Marc Pape who can assist you with parts and engine rebuilds. About Marc Pape
I have been involved with vintage MX and trials since 1995. I have raced and ridden trials on several brands including many Montesa models over the years, both locally in Arizona with AVDRA and nationally with AHRMA. I have built engines and worked on the Montesa brand for well over 20 years. I sincerely enjoy seeing the brand on the road and track and it brings joy to see our beloved Spanish iron brought back to life. I do have a regular day job but will do my best to respond to e-mails and messages as quickly as possible. I can be reached on Facebook or at [email protected]
