usabulto Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hello, Found this forum looking for information on the M49 Bultaco Sherpa T I am building. Lots of good information here. Back in the day (early 1970's), I raced a Mk4 Pursang in scrambles and flat track. Haven't had an off road bike in 40+ years. The brain says "Lets Go!!", but the body says, "you're kidding, right?" Got a couple of M49's to build a one good bike, one a 1969 Sammy Miller version and the other a regular 1970 M49. Here is a pic of my starting point after stripping down the Sammy Miller version. http://s916.photobuc...zps2bd3751b.jpg And here is where is where I am at this point. http://s916.photobuc...zpsbd2c0149.jpg Working on rebuilding the egnine, now. Look forward to joining in on the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usabulto Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 axulsuv, Hi, I am in Topeka, Kansas, USA. Thanks for your reply. The Sherpa project is coming along.....steadily, if not quickly. Got new bearings and the trans mounted back in the cases. Going to have the crank checked and then be ready to assemble. I will post later in the Bultaco section. The beemer is fun. Its got a fuel line leak that I need to fix. Don't know about entering trials competition. Bones don't heal up like they used to, but would love to attend a local event, if there are any close by, to see how it's done. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm not sure of the name , but I'm pretty sure there is a good sized club near you ... And you'll find all kinds of folks at trials events . From young hot shoes to old farts like me just out having fun . I just compete for my own pleasure and sometimes for other folks entertainment ! But be forewarned it is highly addictive !! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
