Circa 1999, I had been a few years into vintage flat track racing my Bultaco Astro.  The new millennia was on its way and I figured it needed a paint job.  As usual, I am not one to just slap some paint and stickers on and call it a day.  This one was my own race bike and had to have …

Don Castro's Outlaw Justice - Part One
