My new old bike :-)

[Steve T]

I proudly present my latest garage filler . . . . . . .


One 1951 BSA 125 Bantam D1

Comes with an assortment of extra's, including an engine . . . .


and some bits & bobs to keep it all together . . . . . . .


Gent up the road from me asked if I would be interested in getting it back together and running!

"I'll give it a go" say's I

The engine has been re-furbed and had electronic ignition fitted, but the unit has never run since re-furb and has not been back in the bike since it's return north . So a little bit of fun awaits me I think

That is a thing of beauty.

That's a very good reason to have a full set of Imperial sized tools.

Mind you, you'd only need half a dozen at most.

Brilliant Steve, looks to be in good nick

I used to have a 175, cracking little bike.
I also did a c15 up for the landlord of my local, gave it back to him with a tear in my eye , his brother rode it for a while so it was worth the the effort and time. Good to see old bikes like this back on the road.

Good luck and well l done

don't go far though

I do hope so, it's a stroker

don't go far though

I hope it will! Supposed to do a zillion miles to the gallon. Not sure if thats a gallon of 2 stroke oil or petrol though

Honestly don't think I'll be keeping this little one though, so miles covered will probably only be those needed to ensure it's running right once re-assembled.

So if anyone feels to the need to re-live their yooof, please feel free to make me an offer

I thought the engine had to be in the frame for these things to work. But hey,what do I know about these things. Feck all
