My first Dragonfly - turned into two !
After a number of years owning Mecatecnos , i had never seen let alone owned a Dragonfly 326cc. Eventually after much searching i found one for sale in Spain. No i appreciate that this not normal behaviour , but i jumped in the van a few days later and arrived in Barcelona where i met the seller who spoke good english.
When i arrived i was amazed to find that he had 2 Dragonflys.
I had gone to see the one in the foreground and the one to the rear was a surprise. I couldnt say no. Its fair to say that if there were a dozen there , i would have bought the lot. I paid for one cash and the other on the card.
Neither of them started there and then , but the seller had a bodged up unique way of getting them going by sticking an air gun on max pressure down the fuel line .This was to no doubt clear anything that was sitting in the jets.
Any way they both started , but both had minor faults here and there.
The good looking on the foreground remained relatively untouched.
I stripped and restored the one to the rear. Please see the finished pictures below.

These motorcycle are very very rare, ive just had a luck streak. Mecatecno engineer Juan Ruiz confirmed to me that only 200 were ever made some 24 years ago. There are the only 3 in the UK and i estimate that there are only 20 remaining in existance.
