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 Steve McQueen Desert Racer
Tue, 24 Mar 2009There 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.
