Molloy also won the 1966 Ulster 250 GP on a Bullie, and finished third behind Read and Ivy on the V4 Yamahas in the 1968 125 title.

Right. The list of Maico riders who won World Championships.

Graham Noyce
Neil Hudson
Barry Sheen (ask Bill)

Maico riders who won GPs

Gerrit Wolsink
Ake Johnson

Please note no one said they had to win them on a Maico. The Japanese usually bought riders as soon as they started to get good.

Sweet as, nothing like a Bultaco on the rise 8)
Sort of reminds you of the other Spanish spirited babes, with castanets,,,
They may frustrate you occasionally, but no matter what,, their beauty is mesmerizingly varied, and no true blood can help but to glance twice and drool.

Without the thoroughbreds, it would just be a flood of spectrum colors of the same old generic rising sun.
Lets face it they copied everything except the the bomb.
Imagine it without KTM, Husaberg etc? Motocross technology would be uncopied.
Bought all the riders and even tried to copy Chernobyl. Losers.

Snr Bulto invited Sammy Miller to the Bulto Ranch.

Then forever more,,, trials was divided into two classes to this day,,,
Pre-65 and post 65. Done deal, thanks to Snr Bulto, Sammy Miller and the Sherpa.

Actually I was thinking of people who were famous for reasons other than being bulto riders.

In the first pic the kid (rentboy?) is the late Alvaro Bulto. He was killed a few years ago in a hang glider accident.
