BSA Clipper description

Vintage 1957 BSA BB34 Alloy Clipper Competition - Rare Project or Parts Bike

Bike is in overall decent shape for its age. Unfortunately it was caught up in a garage fire. However, it does not to appear to have suffered any major damage. I believe this is mostly original and numbers matching, but I'm unsure if the tank is correct. Cylinder and head are missing, but otherwise bike is pretty complete. This would be an excellent restoration project or to use as a parts bike. These bikes are pretty hard to find in any shape, and most competition models are gaining in popularity. I do not have a title, but I can get one for $175 if necessary.

Buyer to pay $100 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at the end of the auction with balance due within 7 days unless prior arrangements are made.

Buyer to arrange shipping or pick up of bike from Tucson, AZ. I can deliver within a reasonable distance for a fee.

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.
