Sir you did a fantastic job on these bikes. Being a flat tracker from the seventies, I truly believe the Astro was the best flat tracker ever. Where else could you go to the show room and buy this bike and take it to the race track. All you needed was numbers for the number plates and you were off. Great video, you should be very proud!
Those are 3 beautiful examples of why I've always drooled over Bultacos! Love the paint scheme! I always wanted a 125 Pursang when I was a teen, hoping to achieve success like my idol, Jim Pomeroy. Was never fortunate enough to get one but life ain't over yet!
You mentioned a couple of times how proud you was of those Bikes. I’m sure you are proud! Heck I proud that I ran across this video!! There all rolling works of very fine art!! Thanks for sharing.
My Dad owned an Ossa Stiletto and my older brother had a 250 Pursang. That Ossa ran forever and ever. The Pursang had a finicky clutch and transmission. However both were a ton of fun to ride. As a 13 year old I liked my brothers Pursang because it had a lower seat height than contemporary Japanese bikes at the time. You have some beautiful machines there. I have always wondered what made the Astra such a desirable flat track bike?
To hear that they start first kick is amazing and hard to believe. I have a power dynamics electronic ignition set at 2.42 mm advance and .022 gap on the plug, but this thing cranks when it wants to, not me.
@noelsens1393 I've seen videos of people doing that, but in all the years I've had this, I've never tried that. I will. If it works you will hear me yelling. I live in north Alabama.
How did I not hear you say that you have an aluminum tank on this bike?..I have one on mine and the flip up monza cap slobbers all over my nice paint. Where did you get a cap to thread on the male threads that the monza cap threads on to? Please 🙏
I took off the fip cap. And got an adapter machined up to fit the Bultaco cap. Worked well but i had to shave something off the Bultaco black material at bottom
All that painting and buffing just flys out the window when they just sit in the barn.Got big and fat and dont ride any of them much any more.Shame on me.

Thank You. Clayton.
Thank you
Great tribute to the love and passion for Astros
Is it difficult to adapt the Yamaha ignition to the Bultaco?

Thank you.
Thank you re bikes. I am proud of the old bikes
Pursangs are badass but a model 85 at 15mph has a lot to be said
@@pursang101 . I had an Alpina . Nice bike. Miss it

Thank you so much. Trent. Appreciated
Nice bikes mate. I really dig the design of that Taco stand. 🌮 I might have to make one for myself.
Thank you so much. Bluejack.
Bultaco siempre N 1 👍
Thank You. Jesus.

Great old Bikes. Dave. Worth saving
The Astros were made in low numbers. A successful race bike still. So always popular. 20 thousand dollars for nice ones now
Give me a 360 Bultaco El Bandito
with a 40 mm pumper racing carb, I'll meet them at the flat track anytime❗"👍"🧞♀️👳♂️🧞♂️👌

Turn fuel on. Lean on side till fuel overflows from carb. Then turn fuel off and try kick start ,David. When it goes.. turn fuel back on

@@noelsens1393That's what I figured. Thanks.
@@davidkeeton6716. Cheers

Makes me feel awful guilty for letting my Buls get dusty with dulled out aluminum.
All good. Bultacos can be dull. Long as they exist still

You will fix them..
CEMOTO!!
Thank You
