1972 Bultaco Lobito 175

12. 1972 Bultaco 175 Lobito, purchased used, peaky engine, poor handling.
This picture is the best I could find on the Internet. Doesn't matter much. I hardly remember the bike. I bought this bike and a motorcycle trailer from a coworker. The trailer was fine but the Lobito wasn't right for me. The engine was peaky, the handling uninspiring. About the only thing I remember about this bike was the electronic ignition failing on Canyonland's White Rim Trail a few miles past Musclemans Arch, riding clockwise. My wife and I rode back double on her 250 Alpina, loaded the Alpina and drove our VW Beetle with trailer out on the White Rim to pick up my broken Lobito. I replaced the bad electronic ignition unit and either sold the Lobito or traded it for a new 350 Alpina.
