BSA All description

This is a 1971 BSA 650 thunderbolt in all original condition except for petcocks, electronic ignition conversion and the original grey frame has been repainted black by the dealer when new. The original grey color was hated and a lot of dealers painted them so they would sell. Mileage is correct. Top end has been completely rebuilt with all new parts. New tires. Has Boyer electronic ignition. Runs like a top and everything works as it should. The oil frame BSA's are getting very hard to find and the later ones like this had the best motors of all the unit twins. Paint is original. Bike has State of CT registration and Bill of Sale. I am selling this for a friend. If you have any questions feel free to call me at 860-848-0607. You can either pick the bike up here or I can set up shipping arrangements but buyer is responsible for all shipping expenses.

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.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s.  I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.
