BSA B44 VS description
1969 BSA VICTOR SPECIAL Do you want to start racing vintage motocross? Sure you do. This will get you out there racing immediately. Be sure to see the video below of it running and riding. This is a 1969 BSA B44VS set up to be AHRMA vintage motocross legal. If you desire, you can even put lights back on very easily to make it street legal again. The tank is in excellent shape, engine runs as it should, has a Mikuni VM series carb, new anti-gravity battery with a charger, good working rear shocks, 1974 Honda Elsinore front forks, 21" front wheel, alloy number plates, light weight plastic fenders, newer muffler, folding foot pegs, Renthal alloy bars, nearly new tires and a new Wassel seat. I didn't wash the bike for the pics, but it cleans up very well. The kick stand does not come with the bike since it's too short anyway, I had it sitting on there just for storage purposes. Located in Spokane, Wa. This bike runs and rides great and is ready to go out and race. That being said, it is a nearly 50 year old bike. Any bike of this age will need some maintenance, repair or restoration. I would consider putting in a larger main jet in the carb, but it works fine. As is very typical of British bikes from the 60's, this is titled one year newer than the actual model year. It is a 1969 according to the engine/frame number but is titled as a 1970. Numbers match frame, engine and title. See pics and video for condition. I will sell to anyone worldwide, but shipping is up to the buyer. I can help source if I can, but you pay, you schedule. Buyer to pay $500 deposit within 48 hours. Remaining balance to be paid within 10 days of auction end. Bike should be picked up within 14 days unless other arrangements have been cleared with me. Sold as-is, where-is. If you are the high bidder be prepared to follow through with the transaction. Good luck and happy bidding! |

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.

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.
