BSA wm20 description

It was professionally restored by the previous owner who restores old BSA bikes. I ran it a few times last year, including DDay Ohio in Conneaut Ohio. It has been in storage since. 

What you see is what you get. Runs great. Bike located in Illinois, clean Virginia title.

All original except for:
Headlight (ammeter)
Taillight 
Webbing grips
Battery box
Kneepads

I got a few manuals, extra bolts, two cans of olive drab spray paint, extra bulbs. I do have the old webbing grips. 

There is one thing to note about the bike:

Needs a new electrical wire harness. The current one is ok, but there are better reproductions out there. Also, it leaks oil, do I have to state this? (It's 73 years old, if you don't know old military vehicles leak oil, don't buy this.)

The bike will be inspected before pickup/delivery to ensure it runs as stated.

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.

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.
