I've been a member of this site going on 7 years. Every time I talk to
a BA or Speedy owner I send them here.
"The members of this site know EVERYTHING about these bikes."
Let's find out.
When the BA & Speedy came out, word was the Pinstripes were
applied by the only Meridian worker that also worked at Hinkley. (don't know if the new bikes still have this)
He even initialed each tank, on a little circle at the back, under
the front of the seat, next to the attachment bolt. Inside that little circle of paint, on my Speedmaster, are the initials "RM".
Here's the Challenge: Who is RM? Who pinstriped all our bikes?
Yeah, it's a goofy question, but when I'm ridin', these things just Pop into my head.
