Bsa motorcycles

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BSA_motorcycles

A truly magnificent piece of British motorcycle engineering.

As a kid I would often be taken to the local gravel pit with my dad & ride all over the huge mountains of excavated gravel .

We used to ride. Grandfathers old BSA bantem , I'm not too sure which model it was but I do know it had a single rigid seat.

It was great fun but sadly my dad sold the bike way back in the late 60,s .

I wished we still had that bike now .

I often take a look at some of the wonderful old brochures that were made for motorcycles back then .

Ahh, BSA motorcycles...

 

When me and me dad were into bikes, he had a B31 and I had Bantams, a D3, a D5 in bits and a trials spec special based on a D14/4...

 

I also had a Bantam Cub which was basically a D7 Bantam with tiger cub running gear.

 

All bikes now long gone, dads also gone now 3 and a half years ago, good memories though...

I have a 64 BSA Beagle, 70cc 4 stroke, needs restoring but I had it running a few years ago. These bikes were rubbish really and probably helped in the demise of BSA.
