Introduction
After the success during 2009, the exhibition "Bultaco, Montesa, OSSA: Eternal Rivals" has been extended with new models until February 2011.
The exhibition moves us to the sixties and seventies, when these three big Spanish motorcycle factories were highly competitive between themselves. Rivalry that sometimes went beyond certain limits thus turning into a sort of open war between the three of them and their respective fans which eventually ended in three different groups: "bultacoists", "montesists" and "ossaists". Whenever one of them moved forwards, was immediately counter attacked by the other two resulting in products highly appreciated by the fans.
This both exceptional and unrepeatable situation is what we have tried to summarise in this new temporary exhibition at the Bassella Museum which aims to reflect the truly "Golden Age" in the most longed Spanish motorcycling.
