MOTOS (399 words)
Motos produced only two major recordings which were "Introducing Jose Motos -  Suite flamenca No 1"  on Top Rank 34/040 in 1958 and "Viva Flamenco!"  World Record Club T326 in 1960.
Song-styles have become more elaborate and oriental-sounding, and the guitarist has tended to emancipate himself from his original function, which was strictly subordinate to the singer and dancer.
Motos lacked the commercial flair which brought such success to Carlos Montoya and Sabicas; he was unsuccessful in his efforts to establish his own flamenco troupe.
Ironman Motos (1230 words)
Motos have the advantage of being smaller than cars, therefore are much safer to operate during the race, where the course will be full of bicyclists or runners.
Motos can access and navigate these areas much easier than a normal motor vehicle and the open nature of a moto can be advantageous to photographers.
However, above all, safety in the operation of the moto, his or her passenger, and for bicyclists and runners is the foremost responsibility of a moto operator.
