davieboy Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 M10 Sherpa. 1965. The reason why pre-65 is pre-65.To keep the Sherpa's out. With all the modded bikes about what chance of winning pre-65 on a M10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetupfun Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sorry but isn't that a photo of a pre-65 Bultaco Campera? The M10 Sherpa T came out later on and had leading axle forks, a different exhaust, a radial fin head and other differences that are not discernable in that photo.

swooshdave Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 More importantly, can we see it bigger? There was a guy at a trials a couple years ago who decided to try in on his fully street equipped Campara. The bike was immaculate and he was determined. He made it through a couple loops before retiring. Probably couple have done much better but the turning radius just isn't the same as a trials bike.

Guest majestyman340 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Interestingly enough on **** of the Don Morley "Classic British Two Stoke Trials Bikes" book there is a picture of a works Rickman/Bultaco being ridden in the 1963 SSDT. I understand Rickman was the original UK Bultaco importer, and this bike may have been what prompted Bultaco to go into production with their own trials machines.

greeves Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Not wanting to start a debate on which bike etc, but I'm just curious - why did this bike change the course of trials history? Because Mr. Bult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Just realised my mistake, I didn't look at the picture properly - because the post initially mentioned Jon Draper on a Bantam I just assumed the bike was a Bantam without actually looking at it and couldn't understand why that bike changed anything..... Now I've looked at the picture properly I can see it is a Bultaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
