Very Cool BSA! I really want an A60 twin. My Father-in-law's dad (So my grandfather in law??) ran a BSA shop back in the 60's my father in law used to bomb around on a Goldstar! They are the coolest bikes around imo. That is a great bike! Was it a pain in the ass to get it shipped?

 

To say that is bad-assed would be to understate it.
Too cool.

Thanks!! I'm ordering up some parts this week, it'll get re-wired, new tires, some adjustments here and there then I'm gonna ride the crap out of it.

 

Yes.. it was a total pain in the ass to get shipped, but mostly because the guy I bought it from was a jackass and hardly gave me any information as far as the shipper and contact information. I basically had to hunt the bike down, and when I did find it, my address, phone number, name, everything was wrong.. but, I got it.. somehow... HAHA..

 

Man your lucky you found it! Bad ass ride

 

Man that is cool! I've always wanted an old bike like that. Have fun with it !

 

Nice ride tinyE! Old British bikes are beautiful!!!

Heres mine...

 

That is a great looking new toy. Its nice to get some stuff from Europe instead of stuff always heading there... ;-)

 

Tiny, the bike is very cool

 

Love it! Have fun this summer, and be careful!!

-Kris

 

TinyE,

Very nice. Can't wait to see it this summer. That will probably fit in the trunk of that big beast you drive won't it

 

Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to ship a bike that far?

-Jeff

 

Dont ya know...british bikes suck???......nice find!....wanna trade???

 

Dang Hatch!! That's quite a collection you have there!! I'll be careful don't worry Kris.. the suicide shift will take some getting used to, but it's pretty fly.. I can dig it. Thanks for Kudos everyone, I'm stoked!!

 

Beautiful bike man!!
Congrats!!

 

Congrats on the bike......always wanted a BSA single, there's a saying that goes with them big old singles "you can hear it coming firing at ever lamp post"
A guy local to me has over a hundred old Brit bikes in a barn, you name it he's got it & they're all for sale.

Of course you know what BSA stands for:

Bastard Stopped Again

Bloody Sore Ass

Best Shit Available

 

Very cool, makes me want to get to work on my A50.

 

BeeZers rock, and this one is no exception...

SWEET ride! have fun with it!!

Yes, please tell.

 

As far as the cost goes, it's hard to tell.. we kinda rolled it into the price of the bike, but I reckon around 800-900 bucks. It was trucked right to my door too, I didn't have to go to the docks to pick it up (in Chicago where it eventually landed.)

Anyway.. it's cheaper then sending 'em cross country which is amazing really.. it took about 3 weeks to get here. A very looooong 3 weeks....

 

I dont mean to be a jerk or rain on any ones parade but did i see two exhaust pipes, is it a single or twin? please correct me if im wrong, it is a cool looking bike.

 

Hey 54BOMB, yeah dude it has 2 pipes, but it's a single. It has a twin port head, pretty wacky stuff. Good eye though.

I mean, you're an asshole! HAHA.. I kid, I kid..

 

Cool bike, congrats

I'm Very jealous over here.

OOPS wait I got one Sorry,just kiddin man great bike bring her down to hooiserville I need some fresh meat as I am about done with mine we can chop it apart turn the bars down throw some old skool flake on it in no time.No really it is just fine the way she is and at least yours came in one box instead of 5 like mine.

FREAKING awesome man.

I love the old bsa's and nortons..


you can see by looking at them that the americans who tried to make bobbers in the 50's were simply trying to make they harleys look like the factory made british bikes.


I think factory bikes are so ugly except old british bikes before the 60's.

have you seen the norton track racers? they came up with putting triangular gas tanks underneath the backbone of the frame before any of the OCC punks thought of that.

check out the british vintage bike calendars.. i have two of them , they look so cool.

nice bike man. did the shipping cost more than the bike?

 

You lucky lucky boy! Don't feel bad, my Triumph is still in 5 boxes!:-( Anyone have a bike building for dummy's handbook they want to let loose of?

And I'm still looking for cylinders and a crank for my AJS. Some guys have all the luck.

Have fun with it.
