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.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.

The Steve McQueen Desert Racer

Tue, 24 Mar 2009

There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.
