Stefan's BSA

.








Born in 68 brought to USA in the spring of 68. Didn’t sell so the bike got his way back to UK, had been fitted with MY 69 goodies like the new fork and other 69 gimmicks. Went back to the states and was sold somewhere in Arizona. In 1994 a German from Bavaria imported the bike from USA to Germany, restored it and drove it for almost ten years. The he sold the bike to a collector of bikes (having more than 100 motorcycles). He kept the bike until 2009 and then swapped the hundred bikes for one oldtimer car, don’t know which one. In 2009 I bought it from a classic car dealer in Belgium, made a rolling restoration of the finish, the engine works fine. Nearly changed every bolt and nut, restored the fork, the brakes, the carburetor, cluth and ignition, bought some peashooters and other nice gimmicks. It rides fantastic even I have to fix the gearbox because the 3rd doesn’t work any more.

But it’s a very reliable bike, I drove it fast, only taking care that the oil is really in good condition. What I like on café racing is the authentic way of biking and getting a bike of former times going like a beast (in relation) without just giving it to the dealer, spending thousands of bucks for a lots more of plastic.

Thanks for your interest and keep on going!

Best, Stefan
