A good running, good looking, kick-only 250cc British single. This bike is a runner, not a concourse show piece. It bears minor dents on the fenders and has some bits of paint knocked off the tank. It has the original formed metal tank. The bike has been painted, it was originally bright orange. While the straight bars offer a great riding position and a great look, they are not original. Also at some point the engine was stripped, BSA painted this years engine black. The exhaust is partially original but the actual muffler is a replacement, this model came with a much longer peanut style muffler, thus the bike is fairly loud. There is some surface rust on an area of the front rim. The bike is missing its chrome grab rail witch came up over the back of the seat. Not certain if a center stand was stock, but this one doesn't have one. Like most old Brits, it leaks a little oil. It comes with a clear title and a stack of manuals and other vintage info. This BSA is fun to ride, the more its ridden the better it runs.

The Steve McQueen Desert Racer

Tue, 24 Mar 2009

There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s. I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.
