Publ i.sh~r Edna Meweon, Secretary to the Publisher Advertising Land of Miracles In reference to Charlie and Pat Moore's letter published in thc May 25 issue of Cycle News: I purc hased my Bulraco Frontera in June . 1975 . In 23 months . I covered many miles on it, including 12 enduros, one flartrack. one motocross plus my normal Sunday riding and setting up two enduros and on e desert race. My Bul finished all competition except two endures - in one the carb top came unscrewed (my fault) and in the other I switched to a small rotor ignition which failed . I feel my Bul has been an average maintenance machine , and well worth the money. As with all fine machinery it must be set up properly. and was not built for the masses. The nearest Bultaco dealer is 200 miles away, yet our club has more Bultacos in it than any other brand. If Bultacos take a miracle to finish , then we'll have to change New Mexico from the Land of Enchantment to the Land of Miracles . JIM ALLISON Alamogordo , NM Debbie Wilk ins. Sales MgT.
