Gday David, that is a great looking Mk8 250. I hope this will be a keeper :D. I just picked up a 125 Mk 8 on Friday on my way to CD7, it is pretty rough but has got great potential.

Regards Stan.

The track was great apart from the dust which can't be helped.  I rode a MX 360 #179

Regards

Yeah we had heaps of fun. You must not miss the next one no matter where it is. By the way I spent lots of time with Dennis Dickman over the weekend and apart from a few get offs looked like he could still be really fast.

Regards Stan.

Poor old Dennis, trying to hard, l used him for traction a few times in our younger years, Would like to see him at the next one.  Maybe dennis legs are getting shorter with age the evo bikes are getting to big. old mate.

Mate, l wouldn`t be riding a 74.5 model bike against a 90 model bike, but in saying that ron dinsdale  didn`t on a 360 bultaco against 90 model bike and they where A graders and he cleaned them up, so power band don`t under rate these old girls and there jockies.

David, you could always retro fit the '74 swingarm or weld rear tags on the swingarm to ride in club days, like lots of Bully Mk8 owners do. As you say the rest of the bike is very much just a Mk7 anyway.
The bike looks great.

That is right, that may be the way to go, Very Good Point Bultaco Macca, but l not like changing a bike when it really shouldn`t need to be change just because someone said. when l was racing in 1974 -75 it didn`t  matter then, and they didn`t handle any better, it was just the new look.
