Re: Frontera

Hi Steve,

Right now my M-68 is in showroom condition, but I am looking to buy
new/old fenders, and a gas tank so I can ride it without worrying
about crashing. I bought it off TeamBultaco member Dave Kamanski,
and it's like brand new. (photos in the photo section). So far I
have only ridden it on the street in front of my house a time or
two, but it runs great and start 2-3 kicks every time.

Rick



Hi Rick,Thanks for the welcome!
> I sure like the looks of the m-68,it looks like it's going fast
even when it's sitting still.What is it like to ride?Is yours going
to be a rider,or a showbike?I don't have a digital camera to send
pics,but there are a couple of them on Dave's Yankee site,at
www.rec.us,and click on the"owners bike gallery",under Steve
Johnson's bikes,and it's under the Explorer pics.Sorry for long post
before.Would be neat to connect with a Bulfan in this area.Take
care, Steve
