I think it's been photoshoped in ;D

Nahh, no way Hose' The bully is in clear resolution because its old school subject of focus,
and besides there is never any dust up front of the pack,,,,well,,well, thats what I have heard anyhow ::) ::)

And one can clearly see the erupted churned up dust rising from the grassy knoll that the Pursang just smashed ;D

It's just a wobblers race/practice? anyway....look at how high the race numbers are.

Your not wrong, I'm surprised the Suzuki's lost in the dust aren't running bigger plates so they can fit all the digits on ::) ::) ::) ::)

A picture to tell a thousand words,,,what an understatement.

Is there a Hyres of this pic that would fill a wall poster. What a Classic.


Not every day you see the entire field about to lap a Bultaco rider  ;)

So true,,,,what puzzles me but, is how you could possibly know the Sanga is about to run out of fuel?  ::)

There was also Bengt Aberg on 370 Pursang
Kenny Roberts on Metralla Mk2
and infamous Aust. Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser on Matador Mk5 for his farm.

Malcolm Fraser and one of his ministers , I think Street , rode at Monza Park on Bultaco's in 1976.

Look like garden variety RM A model Zooks to me.....those factory fork leg protectors where std....those 76 Bullies where gorgeous bikes.....actually, my personal view is the 74/75/76/77 model bikes where the best looking ever made. 8)......and there where so many manufacturers then that all had winning bikes and none of them looked the same like modern bikes do......just different colours. ;D
