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, the front fender has little lines in it Kind of like if you outlined congressional districts in Texas and looked at it from low orbit. The rear one has probably thousands of little pit holes. Think poppy fields from afar. I did a bad job on the tank when I painted it last. It needs a good cleaning and a battery. If there's a winning bid, I'll deduct $40. I spun the crank in 1990. When I got it all back together, it started second kick. It usually will. Last started this spring. Good machine. Local pick-up only.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back 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.

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.
