Boy Scouts of America. Belongs to a friend. I dont know shit about bikes. I know this thing is louder than shit and it does wheelies. It's for sale for cheap.

Paint is seriously good and motor is fresh. I kinda like it.

What do bike guys think?

ghost flames and candy flake need to be seen, very non-English! Anyway I think its 6 grand or so. Fresh motor and chrome. I doubt he will have much trouble getting rid of it.

Nice lookin Beeser, depending on what you want to use it for.
But 6 grand?
You show do the figures before you spend that much.
A runnin BSA 650 motor lying in the back room of an old dealer shouldn't be more than $600.
BSA frames are $50 at any swap meet.
Wheels are about a hundred dollars each if they are really nice.
Hard tails are easy to get
Wiring harness $100
If you can build a car you can put together a chopper.
Do your research and add up the comopnent prices before you spend the money.
Paint is expensive, you have to decide if a wild paint job is worth it to you.
I used to just take my tanks and fenders into a body shop...the Paradise Garage in NE Mpls...and ask "Are ya shootin any black this week?" and they'd give me a paint job for cheap. As long as they were doin a car in a color I liked, the bike was only a side job, as long as I did the prep myself
Anyway, before you buy, get the BSA and Triumph books, check out the on line groups, and be sure that you are gettin exactly what you want for such a price.
Good luck

skippy boy, how the hell are ya?

I own and like hotrods. I have a baby on the way, I would kill myself on this bike. I guess the first post reads like I want to buy it. No, I just thought someone would enjoy seeing it.

he wants to sell it and picked a number to start at.

Sorry I didn't me to kill any deals in progress.

Apologies if I killed your buzz.
