I'm really sure they could be put to use.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

Legs are only good for walking.
BSAs typically require that you wak as you push, so I guess they'd be okay for pushing that useless BSA around...

Hey watch it there pal, I love my little BSA. I used to think they were some of the least atractive British bikes with exception of the 30's & 40's singles and the "real" Gold stars of course but they have grown on me over the years.

Almost every bike ran when it was parked, except the ones that were running till they quit (or blew up), then were trailered home.
I have a hard time believing that one was runing before it stated to be disemboweled.

Yeah, I saw that. He must have parked it with a fork lift. Hard to see how it was running.speirmoor wrote:"It ran when I parked it"

The start price is low enough but if he was an acupuncturist I'd hate to be his patient.

$5k for a non-runner?

Correction "It ran before it was parked 22 years ago"
