Bultaco

(to return to the original version in Català - to return the version in Castellano)

Little (or much) it is possible to be said of a so emblematic mark...

That, young or not so young, this country or any other part of the World, does not know the mark of the "thumb in stop"? (sign that formerly somebody had used in some competition to warn that "everything went well". Aside from the use that occurred him in Old Rome...).
It is possible that still there is somebody does not know in which modalities prevailed (naturally in all), but what if is safe it is that "everybody" (very significant expression indeed by the global extension in the commercialization of its products) knows the its last existence. Still it is possible that anybody does not know that Bultaco was exported to all the Globe. To name to the buying countries of products of the mark, "simply" it would be possible to be mentioned: Asia, Africa, America and the Australian Continent.
I had the luck to know all his splendor, a deep crisis, a temporary resurgence (as "Bird Fenix") i the misfortune" to see his final fall "... this last one because of multiple added circumstances of "internal" type to a set of conjunctural factors of market.
Somebody would say: the technology of the "Bultacos" it was at a distance of the one of other motorcycles of its time and the competitiveness of the markets always has been so ruthless ferocious i much that it has never understood of romanticism. Then, i would answer to him: we are speaking of motorcycles that showed a "personality" never shown in no other product of commercial type, which they were able to identify itself totally with each one of its unconditional users but when by exigencies of the Bultaco market it was in the enterprise dilemma and technological lamentably it did not obtain endorsement of any administrative being.
All ways here one is not to analyze these circumstances and factors, if not rather to pay tribute to a mark that thanks to an extremely charismatic personage and with a conviction beyond the purely commercial thing knew how to extend that charisma and its knowledge to motorcycles in such a way that its memory will always last for in the mind of those who we had (and we have) the luck of being "Bultaquistas" and surely also of those who were wanted i they could not be it...
