75 Bultaco Pursang 250 first time on a track in 30 years! Part 1

After a barn find and a frame up restoration the owner gave me the green light to let the ol Taco rip some dirt. First time I’ve ever rode this bike and the first time it’s seen a motocross track in 30 years. It was a blast to ride just needs better brakes lol

When I was racing, back in the 70s, the bultacos, ossas, pentons, montesas, CZ, Husky, etc were ubiquitous, those things were everywhere, and high dollar. The Japanese MX bikes were just coming into their own and affordable to the masses.
I was riding Yamaha, started in 73 on a 72 MX100, which was just an enduro with a chamber and knobbies and the electronics and gauges removed. Usually this was done by the dealers.
Everyone lusted after the exotic euro bikes. Then Yamaha came out with the YZ, Honda the Elsinore, etc, REAL race bikes and still affordable, not cheap, but a working guy could buy one, unlike the euro bikes.
I so lusted after a 250 Husky! You could tell who had money by what was in the back of the truck back then.
I still love these old euro racers, and still can’t afford one lol.
