Chuck Sun Taken Out by Bultaco!

[Graeme M]

OK, I know it's old news now but Chuck Sun had a pretty neat getoff recently while racing a Bultaco. I've been following his racing lately and it's good to see another older gun still doing the business. There's a neat article in the September MXA about the Service Honda KX500 he raced at Glen Helen too.

Anyway, here's a couple of photos of the Bultaco biting him:

That actually happened at the AHRMA National at North 40 MX in Sherman Texas a few weeks ago. We were there the next day and Sun was saying he felt lucky that he was wearing his Leatt brace during that crash.

WOW! Is the bike OK?

What I think is cool is that old Chuck isn't too up his own arse to ride a pre 75 bike (Actually it appears to be a pre '70 Bandito), unlike some of the Aussie prima donnas. In fact you'll see a good percentage of the American and Euro legends riding bikes from older eras than which they competed, purely for the love of old bikes.

Actually the bike is a '74 Mk7 Pursang with black paint tank instead of blue and white.
Imagine the crash he would have had on a steel waterpipe frame Bandito, would have been heaps bigger, talk about raising the BULLdust!
ps. Saw Chuck ride up at Archerfield supercross on the 'new' 450 Prolink Honda, loved the look of that bike so much, just had to buy one - somewhat regretfully.
