BSA Starfire description
Read this first:
I am listing this BSA for a friend of mine who does not do much Ebay stuff. The bike is located in a small town in west Texas, called Alpine. All shipping arrangements need to be made by the winning bidder. He will do what he can to help with that arrangement. There may be a chance of him coming to the San Antonio, Tx area if that would help anyone out. There is a $500 deposit made within four days. You can email or call the owner directly if you have questions about the bike, shipping, payment, etc.
Any questions sent via the ebay link will get a response with his email address. Thank you, and good luck with your bid!
There is a video of the bike running! Contact the seller and he will email you the video.
A good running, good looking, kick-only 250cc British single. This bike
is a runner, not a concourse show piece. It bears minor dents on the
fenders and has some bits of paint knocked off the tank. It has the
original formed metal tank. The bike has been painted, it was
originally bright orange. While the straight bars offer a great riding
position and a great look, they are not original. Also at some point
the engine was stripped, BSA painted this years engine black. The
exhaust is partially original but the actual muffler is a replacement,
this model came with a much longer peanut style muffler, thus the bike
is fairly loud. There is some surface rust on an area of the front
rim. The bike is
missing its chrome grab rail witch came up over the back of the seat.
Not certain if a center stand was stock, but this one doesn't have one.
Like most old Brits, it leaks a little oil. It comes with a clear title
and a stack of manuals and other vintage info. This BSA is fun to ride,
the more its ridden the better it runs.

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.

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.
