Hi all 
Just testing the water at the minute to see if theres any interest.
I last started it up and went for a ride round on it about August last year, since then its been sitting in my lockup.
As I said in the title, its a 1970's BSA Bantam D175. It has a 175cc engine, but it is registered as a 125cc
. When I last started it up, it took a good few kick overs, but was running fantastic. I would guess it only needs a charge (it had a brand new 6v battery put on about a week before so still should be good, just not charged).
I should be going to the lockup on the weekend, if I do and I can get the Hornet out, I will post up some more pictures and try and get it running.
It has done about 30k miles if I remember right and has the original service card that IIRC has been all stamped up until now.
There is no rust or rot anywhere on the bike and was repainted just before I brought it. Although, it was hand painted. The wheels are good on it with OK tyres. The only bad thing on the bike is the rear mud guard is slightly cracked due to some underestimated load area of my dads mates pickup when he shut the flap up.
Heres the only pictures I've got at the minute:
If you want anymore info, just give me a shout ;D
