Hey, just thought i'll put up a little post about my other ride since I passed my motorbike test today!! I have had this for a couple of years, had the chance to buy it cheap, and now i've past my test i'll be nipping about on this little beut as well. Its a 1971 bsa b175 (the last of the bantams), good old 2-stroke engine with a massive 175cc engine.     one of it running, it sounds abit rattley in the vid but its a sweet little runner in the flesh (or should that be metal lol)  |

cheers people!! it was restored to a good standard by a previous owner but not 100% perfect would like to get the wheel rims re-chrome along with other bits and repaint a couple of spots. but its still a cool looking bike.
also those bikes you got pics of Hairnet are a d14/4 i think as the spark plug is angled and mine is straight in the head.

Hearty congratulations on passing your test!
Brilliant little bike there, please keep the faith and do not be tempted down the Way of the Power Ranger.
<looks outside> It's a lovely day out there, I spent the morning bimbling through the Cotswolds on my XTZ750, I suggest you do the same in your county to celebrate being able to.

wow cheers people!!! errmm not to sure what colour blue it is.
I took it to a local classic show today on the trailer, as we towed it with my dads 1969 Land Rover.
I just had a little ride round on it as well, but it seems to struggle/die slightly when i reach 30mph, really wont go any faster. I had it to a bsa garage to other month as it wasnt running right (timing etc) it runns lovely now but just wont go above 30mph, if i try to open it up any more you can really hear the engine tone change and struggle.
Any surgestions??

how did you clean out the exhaust , caustic soda used to be the choice of champions but I have been out of the bike game for a while now

I flushed it through with petrol/paraffin. the owner who had it before said its a brand new exhaust when he had it.

oo thats nice, the price aint to bad either!. Right as for mine, my dad had a mess about with it today, found the point were seating flush with each other and a couple of bolts/nuts on the carb were loose. I had'nt cheacked it since it came back from the garage, my fault in a way, but its starting first kick now and revs smoother as well, goin to give it run on the weekend as well.
