BSA Lightning description

One of a kind barn find.  1967 BSA Lightning A65LA 650.  We bought the motorcycle with the understanding it has been in a garage for 20 years.  The tank was dry and clean, we flushed the fuel lines, installed new spark plugs and the bike fired first try.  This is still a barn find so it will need work to be road worthy but I don't believe much.  Has the original tool kit and owners manual.  The odometer is very dark and hard to read.  This would be a great restoration project or a great bike to get road worthy and leave the way it is.  Every part seems to be intact, the bike will not come with a battery, I have what I believe are the stock mufflers that will come with the bike.  Clear title. Please call with questions 614-374-5957.  I will gladly meet a transporter but will not arrange shipping myself.  Bike is located in Columbus, Ohio if you would like to view before bidding.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back 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 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.

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.
