Title: Bultaco Alpina
Post by: OOFDA on May 21, 2010, 08:58:17 AM
Finally finished the Bultaco. Trying to send pictures. Puter skills somewhat lacking. OK, here they are. The Burlington riders are looking forward to meeting with your group and riding the hills. YETI - I am taking a T shirt poll and will get back to you asap. Bets are now being taken on who can catch me riding by a mud puddle and christen my nice clean bike.

Bear with me Yeti. My learning curve on computors is still rather steep. We were still carrying stone tables when I attended Neandrethal High. I wonder how Hank saw them?

You're Bultaco looks great!!!
I used to own a 250 Bultaco Alpina. It was the best tight trails bike I ever owned. However, over 40 miles/hour it would spit me off like a crazed bull. Now.....was it the rider or the bike????? Film at 11:00........    Joni

Thanks - I have been thrown off the best of bikes but never the Crazed Bull
model. Always something to look forward too! The Alpina has almost the same frame geometry as the Bultaco Sherpa T trials bike. It turns well because the front fork angle is rather steep. At higher speed it definately wants to swap ends. The owners manual says "Do not exceed 39 mph or personal injury may result". Just kidding!
If you ride bulls you certainly get a "Tip of the old hat" from me.
