I CRASHED MY BULTACO!

[@waynemullally6423]

You almost did a Steve McQueen great escape into the fence. That's not a crash, that's a save, and you won the heat. Bravo!

[@kurtfoulke5130]

You almost ended up in the bullpen ! Quick ! Here comes Dave, somebody open the gate 😂

[@bullpencycles]

gatecrasher!

[@johnlobbestael626]

The important thing was that you WON THE RACE!!!

[@bullpencycles]

I know, right!

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Bultacos are beautiful.😊

[@scottsandquist5381]

Dude! You ain't as young as you usta was.... I'm 65 and I usta drive like I was bulletproof, until my buddy let me ride his Honda 600... I lost control. I got my ass handed to me. I'm not trying to be critical but that thing was outta control from the wheelie on. On the return sprint you're lucky , the bike has you hanging on for life halfway through the field. Opposite brake or not.... Glad you didn't get the hospital ride. Enjoy your show

[@bullpencycles]

Yeah, it was a first ride. That thing rips!

[@stevethefishingsanta7771]

Thank You so much for letting us hear that that unmistakable sound of a Bultaco!

[@user-if8nz2yo5n]

Damn Dave!! You were flyin' !! I hope you weren't too scraped up! Way to get it down before the fence/gate. Holy crap!

[@bullpencycles]

I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile, after I saw that you were ok. Glad you didn’t get hurt.

Yeah, I'm glad you laughed. It was funny!

[@nixieandyakyak3837]

You did a good job of laying it down when you realized you were going to crash. My reflexes are too slow these days to try that. I always wanted a Bultaco. Hope you didn’t hurt it.

Glad you're ok. Great race! A lesser rider would have likely gone through the gate. Again, glad you are ok. Thank you for posting with such candor.

[@delray06]

I was once told that to feel alive you should do something that scares you once every day, watching you head for that fence was today’s, thanks Dave, thank god you’re alright, that could have been so much worse 👍

[@davet3947]

Dave, I feel your pain. I did virtually the same thing on a sprint that I had. I broke the front brake lever when we were on the trails and as we were coming up to the road I hit the rear brake which is the gear shifter. which on the 350 sprint up, shifts the transmission as you probably know and it was scary after that and quite costly I my add a veiled off that machine like it was on fire. lol I hope you’re OK

[@bullpencycles]

I shoulda test run that bike but it probably would not have made any difference. Lol

[@robertjones7792]

Great slide, Glad you did not get hurt us older dirt bike riders are tougher than everybody thinks.

Thanks. Tough but maybe dumb?

[@markbrown-us4xe]

Mussel memory. In panic mode I would push down on both feet and actually up shift. Takes a brave man to lay it down. You were winning.

[@bullpencycles]

I just wasnt looking ahead!

That could of been bad, real bad, glad your ok. done the same thing in a race car one time, they reversed the brake and clutch pedal, went into the corner and pushed the clutch in, lol, I found the brake in a hurry.

Man, that was some crash , hope you didn't get banged up to bad , and you took that second race.

[@Nudnik1]

I would rather eat worms than ride a Chinese motorcycle. Nice Bultaco 👍 Jim Pomeroy and Bailey special. Stretch out a lot before riding prevents injuries.

[@bullpencycles]

I think we will be seeing many more of these Chinese bikes

Ive herd that when Bultacos and Montesas were in an ares theres always shredded plactic pieces. Now I see how that happens.

[@MrJanaRobi]

Dave it is a real challenge for me to switch bikes . I get use to what my KDX is going to do . A few weeks ago my clevis pin fell out of my rear break lever and i crashed down a steep hill repeatedly to get back to my truck .smiles ,Glad your OK.

[@bullpencycles]

Were you OK?

[@williamjmansfield8768]

That lay down was instinctive. Better the bike gets broke than you.

[@MrJanaRobi]

I am OK ! fix bike repete

[@bullpencycles]

@@MrJanaRobi yup. That's right!

[@Phil-pw7ko]

reminds me of Little Faus and Big Halsey movie quote, I was going faster than I ever went in my life and I crashed

[@sssp3071]

What happened? I forgot that it brakes on the other side ...and forgot to close the throttle, downshift, grab the front brake or simply change direction to avoid hitting the fence. Wow, Just Wow!

[@jamesburnside4819]

Dave, your cat like reflexes saved your bacon that time. Stop watching those Super Dave Osburn reruns on VHS😮

[@bullpencycles]

Oh, I gotta find those!

[@RacerX6270]

First start was lame, second start you nailed it!. Bultaco brakes suck!! as shown in the video. Glad your okay Dave.

[@jdevona3469]

Yikes! Could you post the wipe out in slow motion? Glad your OK.

[@bullpencycles]

Oh, I guess. I didnt think of that!

[@tonyv7660]

You might have forgotten where the brake is, but at least you low-sided it. ✅

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I had a piston port silver CR250 at one time. I was wondering how much of a monster a 360 would be. 😂 A CR250 with an extra 160cc of explosive, peaky power.

[@sssp3071]

250 +160 ----------- 410 ...but, I'd gladly let you take a spin on one of my 1970s 360cc, 400cc or 500cc 2-strokes. They've got more 'Oooomph' than the 250s and it's even more important to remember where the brakes are!

[@TV-ui1tl]

Dave glad your ok, hope that means we will see you at MID OHIO.

[@bullpencycles]

That's the plan.

[@ibannymous]

Ouch, it could have been much worse. You missed the steel gate.

[@kd350]

What happened? "I forgot the brake's on the other side!!!!"

[@sssp3071]

I wonder if one of those would be even more difficult to ride if you were on a closed course with turns, ruts, roots, rocks, dust, mud, roost, elevation changes, jumps, drop-offs, more and 20-30 other bikes. Asking for a friend.

[@bullpencycles]

No, I would probably crash there too!

Looks like Ron Jeremy found another profession! LOL Are You guy's twins? LOL!

[@othgmark1]

Wrong tank swingarm and forks for 1976 Bultaco Pursang 360. Forks should be black with a leading axle swingarm it also had 17 inch long shocks mounted closer to the axle. The tank also would be more rectangular shaped. Gorgeous bike but pretty sure that it is a 1975

[@bullpencycles]

@othgmark1 yes, I think you're right. I said 75, but I wrote 76. And it's actually a #136 frame, which is a 360. I may have had the ignition specs backwards too. Too many bikes to remember sometimes

@@bullpencycles Still have my 1976 125 Pursang which l got for high school graduation. (Yes l am that old) my friend got a 1976 370 Incredibly fun to ride. Terrible brakes though. A Bultaco tradition. Love your bike and you should be a very proud owner. Also you are out riding it, bonus points.
