BSA Thunderbolt description
|
Offered is a nice 1966 BSA Thunderbolt, single carb. 650cc motorcycle. This bike is unrestored and does show some wear and tear from it's 50 years of service. I purchased this bike nearly 10 years ago, registered it and rode it around for a while. It blew a head gasket and I put it in my shop where it promptly got buried and forgotten. Well....bills are due and it needs to find a new home. I pulled it out, surfaced the head, replaced the gasket, put in a new battery and cleaned the carb. It runs good and starts on the first kick. I started having fun with it again but now more bills are due and the wife is looking at me crooked. So here we are.......
Like I said this bike in unrestored and is not perfect by any means. This is a bike that has been ridden and worked on and kept on the road for 50 years. Parts have been replaced as needed, sometimes with incorrect parts. I do know that the back wheel is for a later model for example. The carb has been exchanged for a newer concentric type. The bike has a great look and is a blast to ride. It is titled in my name and is currently non-op'd. It is a numbers matching bike. There are NO back fees or headaches at the DMV. The bike does smoke a bit and the brake shoes could be replaced. I do have a brand new cover for the seat. I am asking for a $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal upon closing of the auction. Local buyers must pay balance in cash at pick up. Non local buyers must pay balance via wire transfer. Any arrangements for shipment of the motorcycle must be made by the buyer and at the buyers expense. I can assist with shipping on my end. I can arrange for delivery to a shipper (there may be a small fee for this). This motorcycle is for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction early.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions. The bike is available for inspection here in Long Beach, Calif. Thanks for looking Jason Smith 562-857-0401 |

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.
