BSA Lightning 650 tech info
BSA Lightning 650 description
This is not a "restored" bike. I've just taken fairly good care of it over the years. Except for the exhaust, seat (from a '71) and right carb, all the rest is pretty much original. Both fenders look good at first, but if you look closer, their age shows. I could have done better on the tank when I painted it last. I used to take it apart and clean it every winter, but I haven't since I quit riding. 2010 Last started this spring but now it needs a new battery. Good machine. Runs the same as it looks. Local pick-up only.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub
Thu, 23 Apr 2009Back 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.
