Spaniards (Bultaco, Ossa, Montesa etc) / Frontera gold medal tail pipe

« on: June 04, 2013, 08:03:20 pm »

Hi there, I have just had my GM frontera "returned" to me after being stolen from my garage (see stolen forum) in august last year and one of the parts missing is the tail pipe. I can purchase new every other item missing except this part. Which is unobtainable . Is there anyone out there who can help me ? Regards lyle.

HOME TO PAPA
Just a quick update regarding my GM frontera. The gentleman who had my bike was kind enough to return it to my house today. I won't get to see it untill next Thursday when I arrive home. My son sent me a few photos of it and the following items are missing...headlight ,taillight,indicators, headlight shroud, speedo,tailpipe, bumbag and battery. Rear mudguard snapped off,front mudguard damaged. That's what I can tell so far from the photos. Apart from that, it seems to be in surprisingly good condition. It even seems like "ol mate" gave it a bit a polish before he dropped it off.
It will probably cost around $1000 to replace the parts, but I don't care ,I'm just gratefull to have it back relatively unscathed.
I will have an esky full of cold ones if anyone wants to pop in on Thursday Arvo, as Friday I'm off to Sydney till Monday ,then Wednesday morning fly back to work in WA......just PM me if you want my contact details, regards lyle

Well James who ever you may be, it looks like I owe you a carton of your favourite beveridge....
I just had a phone call from your mate who has my bike and he said that he will return the bike to my place tomorrow . He only lives around the corner from me. Unfrigginbelievable, he said he nearly had a heart attack when he saw it on the VMX forum. I won't be home till next Thursday so I hope to catch up with him then. I offered him compensation for his troubles but he flatly refused. Seems like a pretty genuine chap though......
I had given up on getting the Bulty back as the months went by and I was so down and angry about it that I didn't visit this forum untill today ,after someone rang me and said to take a look at VMXForum. I haven't bought a copy of VMX magazine since my bike was taken . Apparently the front headlight and shroud is missing along with a snapped rear mudguard . But I can live with that ...thankyou to the people who contacted me today,and gave me the information regarding my bike. Where would I be without this Forum ?
I had visions over the past months of what I would have done if I had caught these guys in the act and it involved a ballpein hammer, anyway enough of that.... I didn't realise at the time that my electric roller door on my garage could be forced open like that ,needless to say I had it deadbolted and padlocked from the inside immediately after it happened. I have also since then invested in a security system called CANE CORSO. If anyone is stupid enough to try and break into my house again then they will be lucky if they leave with their balls intact ,as this security system is fail safe . If you are not familiar with it simply google CANE CORSO and click on images, the rest is self explanatory .
Once again a big thanks to all involved and I will put a few cartons on next week when I get home if anyone wants to come over... Regards lyle

Thanks for the info, I suppose all I can do is wait and see what happens . If you can contact the bloke who has it , tell him I would be prepared to compensate him for his troubles, regards, lyle

Had my electric roller door on my garage forced open last night and my 1978 Bultaco frontera Gm taken. I didn't,t even know that it could be opened like that. 5 years of restoration and TLC gone in a flash

It,s a sure sign of just how bad the USA economy is when you can buy 2nd hand parts now at half price to what they where 5 years ago. Not to mention a strong Aussie Dollar. I just bought a reed valve for $140 that 5 years ago I got out bid on ,it went for $240 at the time . I also bought a complete set of front forks for my 1978 Mk11 bultaco Frontera for $89, couldn,t believe my luck ,as I had a $220 max bid on Ebay. I would have bought a hell of a lot more except the wife is goin ballistic over my credit card bill...ha ha ha ...

This is the bike I,ve wanted to own since I first laid eyes on one back in 1978 when I was still at school .I,ve spent about 4 years getting this far with this project, should have it finished this year I hope ,now that I nearly have all the parts.
