Hey, Greg, did you ever sell the BSA?
You know, I HATE it when people say "sweet" when referring to bikes, but I understand what they are trying to express.
That BSA is awfully spiffy. DANG spiffy.

Yes the bike sold for something past 7000 just after the auction. And yes it has taken me a while to figure out that these bikes need to go for 14,000 if I am going to make a meager wage. I can only dream of the day this makes a dime.
1963 Super Rocket, 1965 650 Star, 1967 Lighting, 1968 Thunderbolt, 1968 Tr6C, 1969TR6C, 1960 6T, 1972 Commando, 1974 Commando way too many BSA's see me at http://decentcycles.com

My BSA A7 was certainly one up and three down, as were my Ariel Leader and all the works Norton and AJS bikes I rode. It's possible that the A50 and A65 were built with Triumph gearbox internals, as there was a lot of co-operative production going on in the middle 1960s between companies that had earlier been bitter rivals.
My 1969 BSA A65 shifts down for first and up for 2, 3 and 4.
