"Just restored a 1971 BSA Bantam D175  
Billy
Great little machines from the halcyon days of British motorbikes "
My first bike was a Tiger Cub. Easy to work on and light enough to throw into the back of an estate car when it broke down. |

Typo error on my part should have read B175 Not d175

When I was a kid there was a chapter of local bikers called “The Black Angels” they used to meet at a seafront pub near where I lived ….. They wore similar gear to “Hells Angels” and all rode British motor bikes….
I remember drooling over rows of assorted BSA’s Triumphs, Nortons and quite a few hybrid TriBsa and Tritons and a really sinister looking Panther 600cc single cylinder with the sidecar shaped like a coffin….
If I remember right, I think there was two other North-East chapters, one called The Devils Disciples the other called The Coffin Cheaters, but I never saw those….
I’ve always loved older British Bikes, but I have to admit feeling slightly overwhelmed when I visited Kissimmee in Florida and witnessed a gathering of literally 1000’s of Harley enthusiasts who did a mass drive-by up and around the tourist strip one evening ……
OMG what a noise, what a smell, what a feeling, what a sight….. It was jaw droppingly awesome…..

The local pub I used to drink in had a bantan & cub up on the wall.
One of the blokes who used to ride with had a norton commando, the little sod knew how to ride it as well. |
