BSA wm20 description

It was professionally restored by the previous owner who restores old BSA bikes. I ran it a few times last year, including DDay Ohio in Conneaut Ohio. It has been in storage since. 

What you see is what you get. Runs great. Bike located in Illinois, clean Virginia title.

All original except for:
Headlight (ammeter)
Taillight 
Webbing grips
Battery box
Kneepads

I got a few manuals, extra bolts, two cans of olive drab spray paint, extra bulbs. I do have the old webbing grips. 

There is one thing to note about the bike:

Needs a new electrical wire harness. The current one is ok, but there are better reproductions out there. Also, it leaks oil, do I have to state this? (It's 73 years old, if you don't know old military vehicles leak oil, don't buy this.)

The bike will be inspected before pickup/delivery to ensure it runs as stated.  

Payment:
Deposit of $500 within 24HRS, please contact me via phone after the end of the auction. 
Full payment within 7 days, cash or certified cashier's check. 

Delivery:

Buyer's responsibility, must be picked up within a week from the end of the auction.

The girl does not come with it. Get your own.

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.
