We wait for the report on the ride later.OSSA motorcycle parts, spares for old OSSAs Justyn Norek Snr, always sends me, and the way his son young Justyn test rides any machine, with the front wheel pawwing for air,we will look at the photos of the "Ossa Plonker".Īnd also thank the owner of the bike, for letting the Justyn's near it, to ride and photograph. So now w ith the help as usual with the great photo shots that (A trials bike was known as a "Plonker" here in the UK when most of the British machines had large four-stroke engines, and with the advance lever pushed over to retard, them old bikes would "Plonk".) The engine power was down so the capacity was upped with what was available, and this brought the "Plonker" machine as Mick named it out to 244cc. The way to develop the machine was to ride it in as many National trials here in the UK has he could. So in the year 1967, Mick set about the job in hand at Ossa, and aimed to build a bike capable of riding, and getting a result in the Scottish Six days trial. And then ride the machine to develop it.Īll that was really available that Mick thought could be made into a trials bike with a bit, or perhaps a lot of work, was the companies so called trail-bike/scrambler, that they were exporting to the USA and Canada. T his little machine with its 231cc engine was the Ossa Pioneer. What he needed to do was along the same lines as Sam did for Bultaco, and put a trials bike together with what was available. Mick had the call from the Ossa factory, and went over to visit them. Well at that time young Mick Andrews had been riding a AMC company re-badged Francis Barnett, now named a James, and rumour had it that the plug was about to be pulled on this works team, has AMC were getting out of competition to save money. So searching the Star names that were available, for someone who had knowledge of what was needed to build a competitive two stroke engined trials machine. Ossa needed someone that had a name in this game to establish a link to what was hoped would be a profitable outcome. Montesa were also developing a observed trials machine to jump onto this new found band wagon. The Ossa factory were slipping behind the other two Spanish factories that were turning out trials bikes to the new found market brought on by Bultaco, when they cooperated with Sammy Miller to build them a winning machine, which he surly did.
