BSA Lightning 650 tech info
BSA Lightning 650 description
This is not a "restored" bike. I've just taken fairly good care of it over the years. Except for the exhaust, seat (from a '71) and right carb, all the rest is pretty much original. Both fenders look good at first, but if you look closer, their age shows. I could have done better on the tank when I painted it last. I used to take it apart and clean it every winter, but I haven't since I quit riding. 2010 Last started this spring but now it needs a new battery. Good machine. Runs the same as it looks. Local pick-up only.

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.
