BSA Lightning tech info
BSA Lightning description
Purchased as a "rat bike" in 2011 in Edgewater Florida. In process of converting to a '69 Lightning when connecting rod broke and trashed bottom end. Included incorrect side stand, points and coils and well as a Harley Sportster coil I ran on the bike. Exhaust has dents and rust but is correct crossover type. Cylinders have no broken fins but may need new liners as I don't know if honing will clean them up.Will include JRC jets for carbs. Every thing is boxed or in a plastic container. Many parts are bagged and tagged by me. Everyting should fit in a standard sized pick up truck or small trialer. For local pick up only. I can deliver within a 100 mile radius for gas money.

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.

The Steve McQueen Desert Racer
Tue, 24 Mar 2009There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.
