BSA Lightning description

Mostly original numbers matching BSA Lightning. It sat for a while so work to get it roadworthy includes complete valve job, new piston rings, new rod bearings, gaskets and seals. New tires, wheel bearings, rebuilt front end, and more. Runs well, head and tail and stop lights work, horn works, charging system works. This is a survivor Lightning. Paint has some chips, chrome some scratches, and other small imperfections you would expect for a 43 year old motorcycle that has come through the years unrestored. I like it the way it is and didn't want to alter it's "as found" looks. Enjoy as is or candidate for restoration.

At last we have a brand new model of the beloved brand: after the success of Royal Enfield and Jawa, the British BSA has returned to service. The single-cylinder classic Gold Star will enter the European market - a spiritual successor to the original company's lineup, but with a completely modern filling. The novelty is equipped with a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, two overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder, a working volume of 652 cm3.

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.
