This is a true classic trials bike. Motorcycle features:
-New Faber English trials frame -New custom Works Performance rear shocks -Rebuilt wheels with new alloy rims and SS spokes by Buchanans -Rebuilt Bultaco trials front forks -New alloy tank and seat -New handle bars and controls -Completely rebuilt motor by Raber's Motorcycles. Motor is a BSA B40. This motor has been completely rebuilt specifically for trials work, heavy crank, torque cam, special pointless ignition with advance curve for trials, new Amal carb, new clutch, all new bearings, etc. -All parts are either polished, powder coated, or re-plated so the bike looks like new. As you can see it is in show condition BUT the bike has never been started. Still needs a day or two of fettling to be ready to ride. Motor is 100% correct and ready to go, just minor detail work. I have run out of time and interest. Selling for far less than the cost to build the bike. My loss is your gain. Open to reasonable offers.. |

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub
Thu, 23 Apr 2009Back 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 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.
