[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1230696, member: 16241"] I stumbled across this really cool Ossa 250 Sport street bike while working at one of our field offices today. I thought I had seen all the Ossas brought to the US but this was a new one on me. I talked at length with the owner and it's a late 1969, early 1970 model (Ossa was a little loose with model years apparently). He got it with 300 original miles on it about a 18 months ago. It was sitting in some guy's barn in Iowa with a bunch of other vintage bikes in his collection. This was just sitting for years. The original owner wouldn't take money for it so they traded a Harley XR750 dirt track frame for the Ossa, and a cool bike got a new lease on life. The new owner rebuilt the carb (a rare Spanish IRZ carb with twin needles that actually works), changed the bars, and swapped the gas tank. He has the original fiberglass tank that came with the bike but he made the mistake of pouring ethanol laced fuel in it, and it started attacking the resin. He is going to fix and coat the glass tank and have it back on soon. The coolest part is, he is using it as his daily driver. It sounded really cool when he fired it up and rode off. It's nice to see guys keep these cool old bikes on the road. :cool: [/QUOTE]
