MK 6 Bultaco 125

[firko]

Firko,
             I still hear the salesman at Frasers laughing.
He sold you a bike that was designed to be ridden by a 15 year old. Then you came back and bought more parts to try and get it to perform like one of the adult models that you were too tight to buy in the first place! 
             Forty odd years later you still haven't got over this fact and its still the bikes fault .The Lobito story is getting tiresome.

            Let it Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

          Cheers.

Moto..Why do you blokes take any Bultaco criticism like a knife to the heart? I've had that dickweed el Presidente slander me way outside the realms of good taste in the press, Anthony Suttor cancel his advertising and subscription at VMX because he concieved some sort of bias against Bultacos in the magazine and I've had all sorts of rudeness thrown at me by Bultaco fans because I dared to criticize one of your precious little gems, all the time failing to understand that I was originally having a piss take....that's all, a bit of fun. I've kept going with it because you blokes are so thin skinned that I now find it highly amusing to see your reactions. I can bet that every time the Lobito thing comes up I'll get yet another frothing at the mouth Bultacophile have a shot at me. Welcome to the end of the queue Moto .
Now a few facts you may be interested in:
*I actually like Bultacos, I started out on a Sherpa S and still have a soft spot for them. I'd own a 360 Bandito, Mk 7 360 Pursang or a Gold Medal Frontera in a heartbeat.

*I've written two detailed historical pieces for VMX, a  lengthy piece on the Astro model in issue #31 and an even longer article on the history of the Sherpa S in issue #34 that despite good feedback from the USA and even Spain didn't recieve one accolade from local Bultaco fans. Interestingly though, you all react in rabid indignation whenever a satirical piece I wrote over 15 years ago is mentioned. Funny that.

*If the Lobito was intended as a bike for 15 year olds as you contend, why was it registered for the road and why does the advertising show smiling young adults having delerious fun on their Lobitos. Someone should have told the company's marketing department that they'd got it all wrong.

My particular bike of choice happens to be Maico and I'd love 2 bob for every time some comedian raises the old 'Maico Breako' chant. Does it cause me go all defensive? Not in the least. I couldn't give a shit what others think of Maicos. Bultacos are nice bikes but not everyone's going to like them. That's the way of the world. You guys could do with lightening up a tad and appreciate the difference between piss take and genuine criticism.

Back on the thread, & further to my last post, I have never seen a Mk5 M86 250 pursang barrel, but it may be diff to M103 barrel. I suspect it maybe like the Mk5 M107 Matador barrel which had the narrower transfers (& 's' shaped finger ports cut in the liner). If so, it should go straight on the M100 bottom end w/out need to open up the transfers in the cases(as would an M107 barrel), but the porting wouldn't be as good as M103 w 4 proper transfers, I wouldn't think.

However, there are a lot more M103 or frontera barrels around than M86 barrels. Actually, the Frontera barrels (M152) have more radical porting than the M103, but technically aren't legal for pre75, tho the 103 barrels can be brought up to 152 specs quite easily.


My friend mentioned above also has an M120 Mk7 250 w legal barrel (M103) mildly ported & Pomeroy pipe from Hugh's in US & it absolutely explodes out of corners like a scaled cat - just like I remember Gary Flood doing back in the day.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Grab it, & happy pursang-ing! Properly set up, they're a real sweet race bike. Certainly one of my very favourites. Tho remember the Mk6 is still RH gearshift (but can be converted to LH).

  Yeah that's right JC, i have both  mod 86 pursang and 107 matador barrel's and their identical

Thanks Huskibul, I often wondered about that.

Firko,
        I thought you of all people would know a good PISS TAKE when you read one.
        You have been handing them out to people for years .Its your turn !!

        The Lobito dribble you still rave about and people that offended you fifteen years ago.Does anyone on here know or care? I don't think so. Let it gooooo

        As for your its about Firko CV on Bultaco's. Does anyone care? I don't think so. Let it goooo.

        A knife to the heart,Frothing at the mouth,rabid indignation ? The end of the queue to where? Is that the far queue?

        Are you writing for Mills and Boon now.

       How about you cut your so called piss taking, the instigator of it is the only one who seems to know it is a joke.Its meant to offend,and mine sure has judging by your response.Just treat people like you would like to be treated,no nonsense.

       Find somewhere else to take your dump.If you like Bultacos so much, put a positive post up here every now and then.

       That bit where you have banished me to the end of the queue Mark, how funny is that. Its gold. You really need to find a room full of mirrors.

      Cheers.

Amen!
It's amazing how people can hide their antagonizing here behind a 'piss-take' or a  .

[firko]

I just spent half an hour writing a reply to Motos critism of me but I've decided that it just ain't worth the angst so it'll stay in my computer. This Bultaco thing has gone on long enough. I've tried to put my case that I don't hate any bike, especially Bultaco but what's the point...peoples minds are well made up and my defence only prompts more tit for tat.
Think what you like guys. My first post still stands.

Hi Harro,
             Glad to hear you made it back ok from your sailing adventure, although we might have to test you to see if you are still batting for the right team. You know, long lonely nights on the high seas, a small boat full of blokes,
             I had a call from the past the other day.Anthony Owens rang and we talked about some of the nasty tricks you pulled on him years ago.I gave him your address,he is still as mad as ever and said he had something for you, whatever that means.
          Congratulations on being a Grandad,you know you wan't that Lobito to start his riding career off on the wrong right foot just like you did? or was it a Honda 100?

      Cheers.

[Harro]

Moto,
Anthony Owens.....jesus remember the coal track from Belmont Nth through to John Darling pit he used to clear those bridges on a Honda 90 scrambler man could he ride a bike and his brother as well Johnny a Bultaco boy.
The sailing was unreal went with another Belmont boy Tony Mowbray sailed from Cape Horn up through Chile and Patagonia to Puerto Mont and then Tony sailed the boat to Easter Island and then Tahiti I couldnt go as I only took 4 months off work and had to go home.
There is a smick Matador on evilbay looks tempting and hows the old girl going as I was going through some old photos of the Bul rally at Braidwood when I caught up with you after 30 odd years and the Montadero looked good.
If ever I win lotto TC I will shout us  a ride through Chile Patagonia on a couple of 1200 GS you have to see this place its amazing start at Ushuia down the bottom and work your way up end up in Alaska....or maybe a Frontera for the adventure
Harro
