So what happens if there is a Bultaco that is quite a bit shinier than your Suzuki?

David,
Do I detect a bit of nastiness coming out in you at last?

Hey Cedric I'm thinking that Westy has a good sense of humour

Did you go to the trial at Seeonee Park today? I hope it wasn't too hot. Sorry we couldn't make it. My arm is still not up to it and Darcy wanted to stay home and play.

I have to say, that Bully is amazingly shiny and that Ossa doesn't look too bad. Can you stick a rego plate on either of them? ha ha ha ha No. Would a blue slip pass a dolphin torch held on with some spit, grit and a whole lot of duct tape? :D
I wonder what my rego plate could say? OSSAETR? Hmm too many letters. TYKILR?


Is it time to ride yet?

:idea: I've figured out why the Bultacos run backwards. Some crazy spaniard not only put the kick start on the wrong side, it looks like it gets kicked the wrong way to boot! :lol:

The OSSA and the Taco in the photos are both fully road registerable in Australia. Post 1975 Bultacos came with ADR compliance plates and were/are blissfully quiet. Many pre 76 Bultacos and OSSAs were registered and could still be if anyone was motivated to do so.
I would have to admit that your RL250 looks like it would make a good safe road bike with those lights. Less chance of being unseen by tired truck drivers as they come up from behind at double your speed.
I like the idea of helping design a suitable rego plate for your RL and will let my subconscious work on it for a while.
