February 20, 200818 yr Snr Greeves, Extended front exhaust pipe, not frame down tube. Exhaust pipe looks longer at the front than standard? Frame tubes at rear straightened where they meet rear mudguard. Lovely bike and what a beautiful setting to take the photos. Edited February 20, 200818 yr by jezza

February 20, 200818 yr Author Snr Greeves,Extended front exhaust pipe, not frame down tube. Exhaust pipe looks longer at the front than standard? Frame tubes at rear straightened where they meet rear mudguard. Lovely bike and what a beautiful setting to take the photos. Sorry, my English is not so good, made a mistake. front exhaust pipe is strictly original but has been bended slightly to prevent it touching the modified tank and burning it. Maybe this makes it looks longer in the front. There is a gap of arround 1 cm. between the tank and the exhaust, normally this rebuilt (narrower) tanks touch the exhaust and at last loose petrol there. Pay attention to the swingarm......... Setting is in Segovia, lovely place indeed
February 20, 200818 yr David is cleaning them again tonight, he has finished the Sherpa 199 and is ready to start to the Matchless then the mod.49!Here he is in the bowels of the Batcave hard at work, it is cold, hence the Castrol Honda wooly hat! But he's still smiling despite the cold because he knows when you pop your clogs, they're his
February 20, 200818 yr But he's still smiling despite the cold because he knows when you pop your clogs, they're his I hadn't thought of that! Big John
February 20, 200818 yr how much would a bike like that cost to buy today? Did I ask a taboo question or something?
February 20, 200818 yr An "El Puma Racing" Bultaco does not come cheap my friend, plus you have to wait a long time for one! Big John
February 20, 200818 yr Ok then, I'll rephrase the question: - How much would a bike like that cost? (As in a mint condition Bultaco, Ossa, Honda etc.) Ta.

February 20, 200818 yr I hadn't thought of that! Big John He already has.......David and I talked about "the Legacy" before prefers the Impreza but can't wait to get his hands on the legacy..... you want to be careful next time he offers to make dinner and I'd avoid taking sugar in tea and coffee, his request about where he could get copious amounts of arsenic were slightly worrying...... Snr Greeves, that 340 is a very special looking piece of kit
February 20, 200818 yr Did I ask a taboo question or something? Probably but not half as insensitive as Andys comment.
February 21, 200818 yr Well Greeves, That is one gorgeous Bultaco. Is that the one you want to trade for the Royal Enfield ? What was the bike Jon was riding ? Tony
February 21, 200818 yr Ok then, I'll rephrase the question: -How much would a bike like that cost? (As in a mint condition Bultaco, Ossa, Honda etc.) Ta. Honest answer is it's impossible to say. A standard Bultaco 340 in very good nick seems to make about
February 21, 200818 yr Author Did I ask a taboo question or something? Kinell you know you did. We all know about how much all this work cost, but here in Spain it is considered "rude" to tell the others . You have to options, first do them yourself (you will need good mechanical skills + time + tools + space + .......) and second let another person do it for you, in this last option you will need to add of course the working time of the mechanic, and good ones can be very expnsive. There is another sub - option, that is to take out the ideas you like from this bike and gradually introduce them in your bike. Cheaper than the other 2.
February 21, 200818 yr Author Well Greeves, That is one gorgeous Bultaco. Is that the one you want to trade for the Royal Enfield ? What was the bike Jon was riding ? Tony What about this one for the Enfield?? Puma Racing engine, a very good bike....... Jon rode his Francis Barnett.
