BSA Lightning description
|
This 1966 BSA Lightning is in great original condition. All of the paint is original, the chrome is very nice, and it has LOTS of brand new and new parts that include: speedometer and tachometer cables, battery, drive chain, rubber parts, fuel lines, and air filters. The brakes were cleaned, checked and adjusted, and the wheel bearings were cleaned and re-greased. The engine was recently rebuilt and EVERYTHING was freshened up or replaced: new first oversized pistons, new connecting rod bearings and bushings, cylinders bored and honed, new stainless black diamond valves, springs, and keepers, the guides were reamed, all crank journals ground 1st undersized, sludge trap cleaned, new crank bearing and bushing, new clutch plates and springs, new primary chain, bearings and seals. the oil pump, oil sump cover, and pressure relief valve are new from SRM and collectively cost $650. The side covers and valve covers were professionally polished. I let this bike sit for two years and now when it starts it idles very high and does not run right. I am sure the original, and most likely worn out, carburetors are the cause for this and need to be rebuilt or replaced. It has a clear Michigan title ready to be transferred, all of the lights and the horn work. It comes with service manuals, a parts book, a nice extra tank, and a few extra parts and whitworth hardware.
The numbers on the frame and engine do not match. I have the numbers matching engine cases, but that engine threw a rod and the cases will need to be repaired if it is to be used. I have a clear green Michigan title from 1975 and the numbers on that match the numbers on the frame. The engine in the bike now is date coded 1966, just like the frame. I do not know what the actual mileage is but the odometer reading is 35,000 miles. The buyer must arrange shipping for this motorcycle. I will also need a $500 PayPal deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction, The motorcycle must be picked up within 30 days of the end of the auction. Thank you for looking. |

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.

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.
