greeves Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Oh no, only trials bikes admitted in my house, no limit, but only trials. I must admit I like very much the first Fronteras and Matador, but I had an accident in Madrid in a Vespa 20 years ago when a taxi driver choosed crashing on me instead crashing on a bus, and I promised myself to use only trials bikes.

I put Javier in touch with George some time ago, he sent photos of the restoration and a story how he bought the bike etc etc, never got a reply. Some folks don't value the past I suppose!

Funny to see your father rided it and even won with it. Maybe that bike should return to Scotland. BJ, maybe Mr. Forbes never got the letter?? Who knows.

Not in southern Europa and 20 years ago, here it was a good option to move inside the city. It was not pink, it was blue...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Here is a little something I spotted on You Tube, just for the Bultaco fan! It's a short documentary about Hugh Weaver of Hugh's Bultaco in the old US of A! Dedicated to the late Jim Pomeroy. Enjoy...
