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.

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.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s.  I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.
