DickyM Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi All New member just signed up. I've been using this site as a guest for long enough so thought I ought to sign up. When I retired a few years ago I decided I was too old for bikes so sold bike and all my odds and ends. Few years on and bored I yielded to ebay temptation and bought myself an absolute wreck of a Bultaco 250, 198A for not much money. Having great fun working on it even if by the time I've finished it wont be a cheap option! Always fancied a trials bike, lean and functional that's how I like them. Now we are all on lockdown my wife is even glad to get rid of me for most of the day in the garage. Biggest issue with the bike is undoing the handiwork of previous owners. Some people should be kept away from doing anything mechanical by law in my opinion. Anyway hope to pick the brains of the Bultaco experts on the forum soon as there are a few things I need to sort out. Take care all in these times of the Coronavirus and enjoy your biking, whatever it is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich500 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Welcome back to trials mate! You're never too old for bikes, met a chap last year who was riding his first ever trial at 72! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
