BSA Other description

This bike is a snapshot of choppers in the past, Everything on this bike is in like new condition. I have receipts for the chopper goodies on this bike, from Instant Chopper in mid Michigan. I have the title, the original Corbin Gentry MSO tag and paper. Everything on this bike is pretty much Corbin Gentry. it's a really nice assembly of catalog chopper parts put together with a rebuilt motor. I doubt it was ridden much since assembly. It has lectron Carbs made in Troy Michigan. Excellent molding on the frame over all the welds and joints. You can call / text me at 9895514801 I can deliver/ meet half way. It will fit in the back of an extended cab bed on an angle.

It's a beautifully running bike with one flaw. The kicker gear is worn and it may do this every 5 kicks, may do it every 20 kicks, though the bike usually starts in 1-2, but the kicker wont go down, you just put the bike in gear and rock it and it frees it back up. BSA's are known to do this, it's something you can live with or pull the cover off and file the gear.

 

I also have some more items included not pictures, a clear points cover, new points and condensers,  air filters, speedo delete, tach block off plate, and some cool pentagon NOS grips.

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.

Fri, 04 Mar 2022

At last we have a brand new model of the beloved brand: after the success of Royal Enfield and Jawa, the British BSA has returned to service. The single-cylinder classic Gold Star will enter the European market - a spiritual successor to the original company's lineup, but with a completely modern filling. The novelty is equipped with a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, two overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder, a working volume of 652 cm3.

The Steve McQueen Desert Racer

Tue, 24 Mar 2009

There 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.
