... Milt Thanks for the warning. The motor looks the same externally as my bike. IT also looks about the same condition as mine when I got it and mine was...
Hello, I talked to the guy that lives near the seller of the 125 motor and he knows him too. He doesn't want to deal with him either! The seller is rather...
... Milt Many thanks for your candid response. Some people are beyond help and you have to wonder why they get into the market in the first place. His other...

A nice little 175 LV is up for sale on E-bay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-175-Sport-Beautiful-1956- Moto-Parilla-175-Sport-High- ...
Hello, saw a nice 175 Speedster up for auction on E-bay over restored to perfection. I won't nit-pick on the non-factory color combo, which looks pretty good,...
Milt, While I believe that $25K is too high I think you have to read the ad in the spirit it was written. Our friend in Texas set that as a buy it now, I'll...
Milt, At the end of the day, any bike's only worth what someone is willing to pay. While I appreciate and respect what you are saying about the kind of...
I was going to mentioned the absence of the fur-lined quonkers, the missing gronge-grabbers on the waffles, or the original triple overlay manifold sprocket in...
The Mondial he just apparently bought cost him $28,000. I'm _so_ glad I'm not him. So now he's selling his Parilla to make up part of the diff. If I were him...
He just pulled the Parilla off of e-bay and several other bikes that he was selling. I wonder what is up with Mondial racers? I see them up for sale almost as...
Well Boys,with some experience of FB Mondial a most beutiful but fragile marque,you are better sticking with Parilla even though they are refered to as...
Best I saw at a Brit Bike Show was a loon with a selection of mirror tiles laid below the exhibit & lighting carefully angled to expose the delights of his...
Mike, It's a non-starter of a debate. Better scruffy originality than polished and over-restored. Many years ago, I saw two Vincents at a small local show. One...
Hey mike,Are you refering to an old RAF station I had to visit from time to time,RAF Twatt in mainland Orkney ? Or was the bike made there,I could not imagine...
I don't know of any one in the Bay Area. The best & closest is probably Fritz, in Canada. I don't know if he takes on new work very often, but I believe Milt...
Hello, Sorry to say that Fritz doesn't do high-cams anymore. He's low on his spare parts and wants to move onto something else. He did 5 motors for me and the...
After mine is done you may be in luck. There's a shop near where I live- the owner and I are probably going to work on it together. I'll let you know how it...
Something Cool ! I have been working on my 250 gear driven cam engine for a while and decided that an aluminum cylinder would be the perfect complement to my...

Hey Todd.. I wanted to thank you for offering your cylinders to others and not hoarding your stuff away like many people do. I wish you had them in the 175cc...
Hello, strange to see an Olimpia go for so much. These bike are considered sort of a orphan in the Parilla line-up. The motor, frame and sheetmetal are so...
