BSA Lightning 650 description

1967 BSA Lightning 650 for sale. Third owner. I've owned the bike since September 1970. Odometer shows 1030 miles, but it didn't work for a few years and definitely has less than 7000 miles.

Bike runs well and has never been wrecked. Tank has a small, dime sized dent on the left side. BSA badges are cracked on both sides. Chrome is in decent shape for it's age, but has some pitting and flaking. It was repainted in the early 1970's. Tires are Continentals, in good shape, although rear tire has more wear than the front. Included are the original type Dunlop tires with innertubes. All numbers match on frame and engine and it has a clean title.

Asking $3650 but will listen to reasonable offers. Email me at seohiostuff@hotmail.com if you have any questions. If you want to see more photos, there are an additional 10 on it's listing at britcycle.com

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.

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.
