BSA All description
|
This is a nice running BSA Victor that I found to be in need of cosmetics and electrics. I have done what I consider to be a light renovation. The tank was pulled, polished and repainted. New decals were affixed to the tank, side cover and oil tank. The horn and lights were sorted using the original switchgear. I used a fair bit of Mothers polish on the bright bits, and a little bit of touch-up paint here and there. I cleaned the front drum and shoes and adjusted the brakes as best I could.
After sitting for 6 months, she fired on the 2nd kick. Riding for around 10 minutes, I found the sound and acceleration to be fantastic, with some pleasing popping on deceleration. She did pop out of 1st gear a few times when cold. Between the stiff suspension and knobby tires, the ride is a bit harsh. One needs to make an appointment for braking situations. The Smiths speedometer is not working. This is a bike that can be ridden right now, looks great, and is a solid candidate for an easy restoration. Buyer is responsible for shipping. However, I can arrange delivery as far as Los Angeles from SF for $250 or less. |

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!
Tue, 02 Jun 2009According 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.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video
Mon, 14 Oct 2013There’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.
