• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Bultaco Pursang 250/Question

I know this is a Husky web site, but I thought there might be some guys who have owned or have information on Bultaco's.
I might be making a trade for a 1972? Bultaco Pursang 250. Are these good vintage MXers or worth anything? Has anyone ever owned one or have an opinion on Bultaco or this model? Looks like parts can be found on the net. Anyway, any information or stories would be great.

Thanks,

Dan
 
send a text to Seahorse via this link, he is a Bultaco guru and has an early 70's example.
 
Peterich Cycles in Orland CA. (530) 865-9433 was a Bultaco dealer. Still has the sign up and still has parts.
 
I can't speak for the 72 models, but the 75 models were great. I owned a 125, a 250 and also a 360 Frontera. I don't think that you can go wrong with any old Bultaco.
 
The name is one of the coolest IMO. Sounds like it doesn't even need a rider.

Near as I can tell the word means Pure Bred....purosange....pure blood. Horse.
 
I've owned a couple of vintage Bultacos. There's a big following for them and almost anything you can imagine is available for them. My first one was a '71 Pursang 250. It handled well, and with some Works Performance shocks on it, it wasn't terrible. The toughest thing for me to overcome was the left side rear brake. I had no problem shifting, I just couldn't help my self coming into corners trying to use the shifter as a brake.

I sold that and found a brilliant '79 Harry Everts edition Pursang 370. I wish I still had it, but needed money and sold it. Bultacos handle very well, and have a big following, so parts are available. I'd say if you can deal with braking with the wrong foot, you'll be in good shape.
 
i had a sherpa t and an alpina, both 350's both lost when i went in the service in '83

its a 'bultaco i had' thread now, which is good
 
I've never owned one but I grew up in upstate NY not far from Hugh's Bultacco. Last I heard his son's are running the business and they have a huge supply of new and used parts so if you can't find it on the West Coast, try them...
