As many of you know I ran the Catalina Grand Prix two years ago. Well it looks like they will be having another one this December. So instead of taking my race bike out there and getting my ass handed to me again, I decided to be part of the show by restoring and racing a vintage bike. So i piked up a 1971 Bultaco Pursang E 350.

I already have it broke down to nuts and bolts. The frame and other pieces will be at the powder coater today. and i will be dropping off the motor for a fresh rebuild once i get off of work.
This is going to be cool.

ya bultacos are the easiest of the vintage bikes to get parts for. Bultaco.com you can pretty much build a whole bike there if you wanted to. they even sell used frames.

I might have to invite a couple more people out to a friends museum the next time we do another grand reopening. Last time GlassCutter was able to make it out to see some of the cool stuff.
For now you can see some of the bikes at there website.

If you come up needing any parts, hit me up...My uncle has enough crap to build that bike 100X over...
Had a Bultaco flat tracker a number of years ago....That thing should have killed me.
BTW, since your into the old stuff, you seen this?
