I suppose it all started at CD 8 with me and a mate checking out the primo stuff around the camping areas.He started talking about his brother who had raced a Bultaco in the 70's and how he wouldn't mind getting a Matador to do some vinduros that are coming up so we started looking for Bullies and found quite a few excellent examples.Shiny chrome,polished alloy,silver frames, red and yellow slimeline tanks,"mmm these are quite nice" I thought the seed planted and germinating.Today I find myself cruising the internet (not in that way ;)hunting out Bultacos,casting my eyes over various models,wondering how a boat tail could work on a motocross bike,agreeing with the critics that the MK 7 is perhaps the best looking MX bike in the Bultaco lineup......But how can this work?A right sided gear change?a gearbox driven by a chain not a primary gear??As someone whos garage attests to an allegiance to the great Communist east block tractor factories I find myself yearning for the Costa del Sol....Is it too late for me...should I defect???Are the works lightness,agility,handling overused???
