[I was squared away when I first got out of the Service in '68. I saved
most of my money in "Nam, and when I got out I bought a new BSA Hornet,
that's a 650 factory flat-tracker....and put it on the street....it was fast.
And I bought this 250 Bultaco Pursang MK III for racing.]

That Hornet must have made quite a street bike[X(]!

My racing was post Nam also, a close encounter of the worse kind with the NVA ended my Marine career on Christmas Eve of '67 and I spent the next year in the hospital. Unable to find a real job, I flat tracked a BSA (not as well as that Dick Mann guy, a KR and finally a XR 750. I did enduros on Husqvarnas, Bultacos, and anything else I could get a sponsored ride on until more gainful employment brought it to a halt. The money was OK but not nearly as much fun.

I never did any road racing which doubtless accounts for my still being alive today

The nostalgia gets thicker and thicker!
