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 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.

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

The 1967 BSA Royal Star 650 has a special place in the heart of the Piano Man, Billy Joel — it was the first motorcycle he ever had. As time went on and Joel’s career blossomed, the love for motorcycles only grew. In fact, Joel even has his own motorcycle shop.
