Jus wanted to share with those who knew I had a pair of 1970s BSA and triumph bonneville bikes for sale , I sold the BSA last week, it sold in two weeks time, either the economy is picking up, This guy drove right out from rochester N.Y.to mich. and picked it up and took off . I felt a bit bad in one way. This BSA was a one kick bike! and run and operated beautifully. But it wouldn't start for us[set two years]when it lit. It went right up to w/o throttle.I quik pushed is leg out of the way ,and got it shut of. Man what a scare, He looks at me and said "this is a good running bike isn't it"?. I said yeah....we just proved that. MAN!! all i could see was the piston headed towards the ceiling........but it didn't happen.He had a smile on his face he couldn't wipe off.And he was british!! I got my price to boot. Now am working on a 55 chevy with no end in sight take care all you guys Missed ya Take care i'll be back when i start riding my AMERICA this spring .......I'm not selling that one. bob s

Your Bonnie must have been finer than Froghair, split three ways, if it was cleaner looking than your Beezer looks in the picture you just provided.
