BSA Rocket III description
|
1969 BSA Rocket 3 A75R - pulled from basement of church, engine and frame numbers are matching, also both halfs of crankcase casings #'s match, motor moves freely with compression, gears shift OK, has front and rear end from 1970's Trident. Engine cases, rocker boxes and other parts are chromed ( see pics ) and rear frame loop for seat mount has been cut about 2.75" shorter from shock mount back - probably to accomodate a different seat but not sure - easy fix - just weld in new piece of tube on each side of loop. Some tabs and mounts look to be incorrect and will need to be fixed - again something easy to do. The 1969 shop manual has all the diagrams and measurements you need to make these repairs to the frame. Bike is being sold as is, where is with clean and clear title/ownership. see pictures for details. centre stand is included but may be hard to see in pictures.

The US Border Services requires you to complete a very simple form and submit to them at least 72 hours before you bring motorcycle across the border ( actually, I had someone purchase a old Norton from me and he was able to take across border without the paperwork done - did not get hassled - I still advise the paperwork be done just to insure smooth transition across border. The bike is located about 2.5 hours north from the Niagara Falls NY border, 4 hrs from Windsor/Sarnia Canadian border - 0.5 hour north of Toronto |

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.
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.
