Owen's M20 BSA

Bubble mail:

"Just writing to say that I love the blog and pretty much view it every day on my coffee break.

Thought I’d show you my BSA that I have been building over the last year. It’s a M20 rigid girder frame with a M21 engine and telescopic fork. The rear wheel is a triumph conical and front is a random 21” trials deal.

Keep up the good work"


Thanks Owen,
Beautiful BSA you've got! Nice headlight gas tank combo

"I built a Strange BMW like Sebs"

Update!
Simon send some more information about his nice ride
 

"I meant to take some decent pictures with my good old Lumix but the damn battery died, bad planning, the old I phone did OK just a bit grainy, hope they're OK
The bike is fun, it was a cheap old RT 1977 I got from a friends shed hadn't run for 10 years or more, I took all the RT stuff off and found it was an early RS underneath, a great historic machine in its way fun, anyway fitted an old yamaha SRX400 seat, aerosol painted the tank, got the dustbin from a friend of Ben Parts,  Jake Bowie in London, had to do a pile of work to get it fitting right, re fibre glass the cylinder cutaways, reinforce lots of areas, make mountings etc, paint it, make sidepanels, I had the panniers Enduro Saddlebags for an old R60 sidecar outfit and took some time to make them fit, the exhausts are old Contis from an old Ducati fitted well, rides good, really steady not too nimble but steady, OK in winds, quite a fruity rumbler really, I had a  problem early test rides, heavy braking front end dive, mudguard jammed inside fairing console kind of jammed the steering, caused minor concern rectified with a hacksaw and 4 inches off the mudguard...

The road is on the A5 in Snowdonia, Ogwen Valley near Bethesda, it is the old road from London to Holyhead where I live, and finally Dublin via ferry, the first national continuous government funded trunk road built in Britain in around 1840 conect the two capitol cities and all that stuff.....

all good stuff, love the site, the joyous displays keep on coming, fantastic many thanks again

Simon"

The Chop with Ed Oxley

Bubble mail:

"Love your site and thought I’d send you my new short video. It’s not all about motorbikes but it does have a vintage bike in bits, didgeridoo playing, mountain biking, pretty autumn leaves, barbering and some classy violence. It’s been a big hit so far in the mountain bike sphere and I’d like to get it out elsewhere. So if it amuses you maybe you’ll bob it up on your site?"

 

Thanks Ed!

Great short movie, ha 

The end is brilliant

I don't have anything good to share in return, except maybe some pictures of an old Kawasaki me and my buddy Ryan put together you might like. We built it for the 2013 Dirtbag Challenge in San Francisco. Check it out if you have the time - terrydean.wordpress.com

Bubble mail from Marcus Moto Design:

"Here are some photos of my new daily ride. It is a 748 that has got som influence from Cagiva 500GP and Suzuka 8h endurance bikes. I know it is a quite ordinary bike but maybe it can fit your great blog? That would be fun. It is already sold and I work on new projects now.

 

Cheers, Marcus
