Wotcha! Looks like you've got a bit of work to do as well - mind you, with petrol proices creeping up I'm keen to get it done.
No rust, just a few ignition parts replacements and (hopefully) TopTaff's back on the road.

I've had this bike since the late '70s & it was my only transport for about 10 years but the old girl's been off the road & languishing abandoned and neglected for about the last 15 years .She's a feisty little beast when she's up & running!
One problem is that I never got a SORN so I'll probably be in trouble with the DVLA (yeah,yeah....I know- I should be ashamed!) So does anyone have a cunning idea of how to body-swerve round that little hiccup?

if the last tax expired before the year 2000, you don't have to claim SORN and can't be penalised for not doing so. once you tax it, if you lay her up for a while untaxed, you'll have to SORN it  |

just make sure you get it on the road before mine, that shouldn't take much doing its really only the frame thats bantam, most of the rest is a mis-mash of parts that fit and were cheap ;D my bantam thread here |

We'll do our best, and if I then pass my bike test I'll give it a go occasionally. Off to Bri-Tie tomorrow to grab some bits 'n' bobs for it....

And I might try to get it, along with other members of the fleet, over to Battlesbridge this year.

A day of disappointments! Up early, and with the list of parts needed, tried calling a BSA specialist. The phone just rang and rang (why can't they have an answerphone to let the caller know if they're on hols or 'away from their desk'?) so TopTaff suggested a specialist in Swansea called Pritchards. Called them, no answer, so jumped in the Nippa and nipped over: sadly the business has closed, so it's back to square one. Did get some chrome cleaner mind....

Ahh, thanks for that. I've been trying to get hold of BriTie (only about 10 miles away) but the phone's not being answered.

Well the missus has had this one for 30 years, which is pretty good! Luckily it's been dry-stored for a fair few of 'em, but it's time for it to hit the road again. Hopefully the revival won't take too long...

That's grand.I've got all it's old MoTs' and the V5 somewhere and as we live close to the 'Altar of all Cardom' which is the DVLA I shall totter up there with all the paperwork once the old girl (that's the bike, not me!!! ;D) has actually fired up. |
