British Bikes / Re: BSA Info

The VMCC (or BSAOC?) should have the despatch records. There might be some progress if the supplying dealer or their successors still exist. Unlikely though.

Thank you. There must be a reason that whole bikes do not have a section on the site.

How do I access this if I wanted to sell a complete bike?

It sounds very healthy and not at all flat. The video that followed my viewing (they vary) was of a bloke reviewing some British classics at (I think) the NMM. A good film, but let down by daft comments by the mature presenter. Vincent Black Shadow top speed 140mph, Black Prince 150mph and the RGS introduced in the late 60s. The rest of his remarks were spot on.

So true John. In the 60s, if I didn't mend my bike or old banger car, I didn't get to work. The prospect of no beer money at the weekend certainly concentrated the mind. No internet for info or Ebay for bits. If Lawton & Wilson etc. or one of several S/H bike shops didn't have it, that was your lot.

Where on earth did you see it advertised with rats**t photos like that?

That reg. was issued in Aberdeen between Aug. '39 and Oct. '46.

I appreciate what Ian has said, but it has turned this thread into a very entertaining topic IMO.
I will only add that when I had a stroke the Polish doctor at the hospital was excellent in his treatment and I made a 99% recovery. Eternally grateful.

That's a fair point Leon. A long term friend of mine has a BSA 250 Empire Star that his father bought new before the war. He's been on for years about restoring it; which he will never get round to. I've told him quite firmly just to clean it up and try to get it running. It's been untouched since the sixties.

Possibly a dealer? This is hardly the place for adverts like that IMO.

I lived in Bitterne in 1962, but was 15 and a year away from any interest in motorcycles.

An absolute bas**rd of a job to get the spring on. Could have been me I suppose, but got there in the end. I found a bit of cussing helped.

Ian, I've got a 376 3 1/2 slide. Pm me your address and I'll send it to you. I have no use for it.

Apehangers and silver duct tape on the helmet was my limit.

Amazing how corny that is. Give me the Black Widows any day.
