BSA All description

This is a one of a kind custom motorcycle. This bike was built using a 1944 BSA frame that it is still titled off of. The front forks are also from a 1940's BSA M20. Motor came out of a Buell and is belt driven, check out the cool belt assembly rear wheel! I found this bike part of estate sale. It was owned and built by a talented man nick-named Doc, you will see this name on all of his hand built bikes. The bike is a true work of art, and you could look at it all day and see the unique touches placed everywhere. The rear tail light serves as a brake light and turn signals, see video of the lights working. The bike was built by Doc at his home either with his hands or his 1930's-1950's mill machines. I recently got the bike to run for a quick video, but I will still be listing this work of art as a non running project. But I believe with some carb cleaning and adjusting it would make a nice running show bike. The bike has only 139 miles since being built. She is titled in my name out of the state of Florida, and the title matches the frames VIN . I will now let my 67 picture slideshow and two videos I provided in the listing do the talking. You must use a regular computer or laptop to see the slideshow and video.  They will not show up with apps, phones, or some tablets. Click on the view all tab at the bottom of the slideshow to see all the pictures.

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

According 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.
