So Who was Sponsering and Who won Best Effort by a Bultaco rider ?????
-
Don Newell ? And I hope it was you on the Banditero or Montadito :D ;D
-
Yes Don Newell was the Sponser, but dont know who got the award, Yes tied for third place on The Bandito ;D,but lost it on count back. :) affraid to say iam starting to like the bike now its got the correct pipe and the clutch is sorted.

Fnally a post about Bully''s, however a point of order please Gentlemen.
The correct term is EL BANDIDO (bandit) and EL MONTADERO (mounted stone). From my research the Bandido was released in 1967, and because I need to know that, so when I am about to get hammered in the face by those harley riding,hard drinking and generally hard living BANDIDOS,cause I have a cap which reads El Bandido. They started up in 1968.
Apparently in Mexico a real bandido type bloke will call his junior learner opposition outlaw types banditos which is a derogatory term.
So there,but it wll still hurt and I will lose my cap and teeth.
PS. Anyone selling a Bandido so I can have a cousin for my Montadero.
-
Matador,I was having a joke with Snowy as his bike is a bit of a hybrid ;D
-
Glad you said Hybrid and not Bitsa :D, Moto are you CRC,ing
-
I hope to be there,I'll Bring my Montadero to give you some competition.lol ;D
-
Apologies Moto,I realized later you were having a shot at him. It was late. Always wanted a Bandido, so far got a laminated poster. Have been restoring my mk2 Montadero and soon will reinstall the motor and start rewiring.Re done all f/glass with 2 pack paint and polished up all the alloy bits. Never seen a mk 1 around though.Cheers.

Matador, This is a pic of my M70 Montadero and in action at a dry! Buladelah meeting (pictures posted courteously by my son).I am the second owner of this bike.
I have all the original lights ,speedo etc.
It can be quickly converted so I can wobble around on dirt track,and I use it for Vinduros.The most fun bike for $800 that I bought fifteen years ago.
-
Must be the Bultaco tree, Think Joel has a pic of the Hybrid/Bandido in the same spot.

To answer your original question Snow,
(before you were so rudely sidetracked by those hoarders of all the best Bultaco's!)
The Best Bully Prize was possibly won by Simon Broad from Qld who ran second place all weekend on his Mk7 360 to Brad VanB in the pre75 open...a damn fast rider.
Some other good performers were Andy Dykes from ACT who ran second in over 60's 250,
and, Ray Smith (Vic) who had some mighty holeshots on his Mk7 250 in pre75, but had bike issues and didnt get the results he deserved.

I'm not a hoarder anymore Mick i've been cured , hope to catch up at crawford river and also nice to see that bandito beating that montesa in the photo above.
-
the screw driver Bandito
-
Those Bully riders were certainly quick, but the "best" awards were not based on race results. See post in "Competition" thread
-
Thanks for the photos Moto, ya got to admit those Bully's are the best lookers,good to see them in competition. I did a little bit on my Montadero tonight before coming home,nearly ready to re-install the motor.
Had to come home it was 12 deg in our workshop.brrrrr.
However I think i will be putting in a points ignition as the Femsa electronic coils are all cracked and I reckon a recipe for misfire. Trying to figure out how to buy new electronic type(MZB) from Europe without getting sprung by my boss (bless her).
About two years ago I found a Bandido on USA ebay that was absolutely original,still had the tits on the tyres. The story was it was owned by a fellow in the army who only rode it when he came home,back then remember the Vietnam war was on.
Well unfortunately he didn't come back and the family finally decided to sell,I think it was around $6000. The transport to OZ would have been about $2k from my recent experience,all up a lot of coin. Still looking though. Cheers.
