We shined the old Bultaco up and took it to the National Motorcycle Museum,in Anamosa Iowa this last Thurs.,to be on display for a year to start with. here is a pic of it in it's new home.

That's a real beauty. I have a weak spot for Spanish dirt bikes. Especially Bultacos and Montessas. Not so much the Ossas.

Nice bike. Can't say I've ever seen one of those in person. I had a 250 Pursang back in the day. It ran like a scalded dog...when it ran.

Sweet! Beautiful looking moto-bike.

In 74 I worked in a press shop, next door was a Bultaco shop.

I should have hung out there more instead of riding the Japanese brands.

For some reason, known only to them, my early offroad riding buddies rode Spanish bikes, one had both an Ossa and a Bultaco trials, and switched every weekend. The other had a Montessa cross country bike and I must have towed that pig out of the mountains on the end of a rope at least 4 times. Crap, what a pain. That Ossa trials was a cool bike, reliable and strong but very peaky power curve. I have some pics of that bike buried up past its little saddle in high country muskegs. Man, that was a couple of lifetimes ago. We did ride some incredible terrain in the northern Rockies of Alberta and I miss that very much.

My first new bike was a Bultaco Matador SD with the enclosed chain. Shifter pedal was on the right. The brake pedal was supposed to be on the other side but any time I stepped on it it didn't seem to do anything. When I switched to Huskys in 1976 I don't know how many times I tried lifting the brake pedal of the Husky trying to make the stupid machine shift.
