My father would order like 20 motorcycles at a time to get a better deal.
It was not like today, where you ordered just enough bikes to fill holes in the inventory. My father took care of the store up front. I worked on thousands of bikes in our shop, including many Bultacos. Poor Mitch was working 12 hours a day! Crazy Mitch was getting huge paychecks, but would blow it on women, weed, and bail bonds. There was good money in outdoor power equipment! The repair volume in our back shop more than doubled, so I started helping when I was only 12 years old. We also added some lines of lawnmowers and chainsaws. There was not much profit in selling motorcycles as you would be lucky to make $125 on a sale.
They done everything to make sure we had bikes to sell, even years after Bridgestone stopped production. The Bridgestone importer, Rockford Motors was amazing. We also tried to get Kawasaki, but they wanted a big chunk of money up front. Mitch talked my father into taking on the Bultaco line. Crazy Mitch that worked in the back raced flat-track on a Bultaco.

Plus the Rockford Motors lines: Bridgestone, Chibi, Tora, Taka, MCB (Monark) and Zundapp. Over the years we sold Bultaco, AJS-Matchless, DKW-Sachs, Hodaka, Powell, Bonanza, Rupp, Steen, Cagiva, and Rickman (kits). Enjoy!īackground and History: I pretty much grew up in a motorcycle dealership in California. If any additional credit is needed please feel free to send us an email. It is very informative and a great read, and I wanted to do my part in archiving this information for Bultaco enthusiasts to use for years to come. The following excerpt is from a Facebook group titled “ BulTaco Astro Racers, Builders, Enthusiast.” It goes into great detail from the perspective of an enthusiast who grew up with Bultaco motorcycles.
