BSA A65IT Thunderbolt Twin description
I am listing my 1967 BSA Thunderbolt Chopper project. No time to finish it and I won't sell it off in pieces because it took me too long to scour swap meets all over the East Coast trying to locate everything I have here. The rolling chassis is the real deal, a 1970's Vintage Hard Tail Chopper Kit that guys used to buy back in the day to modify their stock frames. On that chassis is a mock up motor with a brand new $250 McCooney Carburetor, original spoked wheels, brand new tires, gas tank, dual pipes, etc. You'll also see the complete BSA 654cc Thunderbolt Running Motor on the engine stand. That motor has been gone through and is in nice running condition. The running motor alone is worth $1,000. In addition to that I'm also including my 1967 Stock Original BSA Thunderbolt A65IT Frame in case you'd rather build the bike back to stock original. That stock frame also has a mock up motor with it. Also included are several crates/boxes of spare parts including 2 extra engine cranks, 3 extra side covers, and whatever else you can spot in the crates. If you have any questions about any of what's listed here, contact me and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
As for shipping, I've calculated an estimated weight of around 600lbs. I will disassemble, repack, and crate everything up onto one standard size 48" x 48" wooden pallet. The pallet will be shipped Freight from Manchester, CT 06040 to the location you choose. IT IS UP TO THE WINNING BIDDER TO CALCULATE, ARRANGE, AND PAY FOR ALL SHIPPING CHARGES. As I said, I will crate and forklift load the pallet into the shipping company's truck on my end as part of the final auction price, but it is up to the winning bidder to calculate and pay for all shipping costs based on the weight and size info I've included, before the pallet leaves Manchester, CT.
As I said above, please contact me if you have any questions about anything I have listed. Thanks for looking, and good luck.

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.
