BSA Bantam D1 description
Classic 1950s BSA Bantam D1 Motorbike. This was imported from the UK in 2000 and has a clear Wisconsin Classic plate title. Last ran in 2013, now in dry storage. Only known issue is the kick starter spring needs adjusting and will need a new 6volt battery.
These were 'spoils of war'. Originally a German DKW design, copied by BSA and Harley as the Hummer in the late 1940s as a light post war motorbike. This bike was based in London and used by HM Government as a messenger bike. Restored and shipped to the US. Bantam's are 2 stroke (cycle) and need a fuel oil mixture. The gas tank as a measuring cylinder in the cap for the oil. Great condition but sold as is. Contact me with any pre purchase questions. Cash or cleared cheque on collection in central Wisconsin. NO PAYPAL. |

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.
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.
