BSA 500cc description

  Heres a bonafied barnfind racing BSA.  I do not have a huge wealth of knowledge of british bikes so I will do my best.

     This was found in a barn in the hills of Cottage Grove Oregon.  I had found it along with a very rare Indian motorcycle, they both had been setup for racing.  There was a flat track in Junction City Oregon that is not very far from where these bikes were found.

   I bought the Indian and a friend bought the BSA.  He went thru it enough to get it running, This included a carb rebuild, valve adjustment and magneto rebuild.  I bought it from my buddy early this summer and its now time to pass it on to the next owner/caretaker.

   When the bikes were found they both had these extra seats out back, This one is not currently attached because a brace was cracked/broken.  I pictured it both ways.

The bike is sold with no title but a bill of sale............however I can get a clean Oregon title if needed.

  We ship worldwide and if a title is a shipping issue we can ship it in 3 packages to avoid titles.

Please feel free to ask any and all questions 503 766 9484 cell/text

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run.  Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake.  Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.
