February 8Feb 8 Hi everyone, I'm new here from southwestern Ontario, Canada! I found the site as I've been restoring a Bultaco M49 Sherpa T that was left to me by my late Uncle I've done many restorations on other things (tractors, lawn equipment, radios and arcade equipment to name a few) but this is my first bike project. I have been given a lot of good information from Facebook groups but I always enjoy making a forum thread so I plan to document my project here, hopefully in the future my info may help someone else 😊. Mikey.

I've read a lot of bultaco threads on here already I had a 1974 Yamaha TY 250 when I was a kid and loved it. I’ve been looking for one to restore myself but without much luck. They get snagged before I can get to them. It’s the sound of the engine that I remember most and when I see a video on YouTube with someone riding one around I get all choked up hearing that very unique, quite quiet, popping rhythm. I wish you the best of luck getting your uncle’s Bultaco back into shape. I’ll keep watching for your updates.

I hope you are able to find the Yamaha you're looking for, those sound like excellent memories!
