1967 Bultaco 250cc Road Racer

dave's bull

My bike consists of a 1967 Bultaco Metralla frame, swing arm, gas tank and front hub, Bultaco dirt bike triple clamps and forks (I'm not sure of the model), a Honda CB 175 rear hub, a two-stroke 250cc Bultaco model 90 Astro motor with a Motoplat dual-plug ignition, an Amal carb, Circle F expansion chamber, Tomaselli clip-ons, and a well-used Air Tech fairing and a new Air Tech TSS seat pan. I compete in races sponsored by AHRMA and the American Federation of Motorcyclist (AFM), a San Francisco Bay Area road racing club. There are several other Bay Area vintage racers who are successfully campaigning Bultacos including Dave Broekema, Jim Neuenburg, Charlie Sexton and Ron Melton, the current AHRMA 250 GP #1 plate-holder. Many thanks to Dave Broekema and Jim Neuenburg for all their help. PHOTO NOTES: This is a photo of me racing the Bultaco in the AHRMA 250cc GP race at Willow Springs in May, 2000. The photo was taken as I entered turn four which leads into the famous "omega" section of the track.
