Folks interested in this badge, which belongs on a rocket 3, should have a look here;

I have no connection with parker's classics, but have had excellent results with regards to requesting a product, then having him finding it!
Such as the dampner badge.

Looking for a new home...

That was quick!
She certainly needs one!

I have a hankering to go this route with a twin;

Thanks for the excellent pics and videos everyone!

Mine is currently apart and I suck at posting pics anyway, but here is what she'll look like when done:



Yes, I somehow got hold of a Barney the Dinosaur purple one. Currently searching out parts and going through the electric box.

FWIW, this thread would really be appreciated in Old's Cool; to my knowlege there is not a dedicated BSA thread there.

I cetainly did consider that, but have posted many a pic of my beezer there.
Thought a topic in pic's might stir new interest.
Some one could post in old's cool with a linky?

Besides, folks in old's cool know what a BSA is. I can't tell you how many times I have had a passer-by shake their head raise their arms, palms to the sky and ask...
"what is it?":huh

Well, I think that covers it pretty well...

Someday soon the torch will be passed

Dat purty!

Well more than 30 years now I've had the dream of owning a 650 twin like this. It's the styling that says it all.
Cheaped out and got into 650 yamahas.
I've traded off bsa's on rides and rode a royal star 500 twin all the way back.
Had a triple for 9 months.

Looks like a 67 royal star...
but how does one tell?
Looks like my roomate's ex bike.

The military ones are M20s-500cc. The blue bike is actually a 650 Lightning, from 1970.Most you see are red. As you might guess, BSA also made rifles. When I get rifle clips for that parabike, Maybe I'll hang a BSA on that.

1967 Thunderbolt

1979 and 2010

I'm very happy to have the same braking power as the "big boys".
And the same restyled electrics and controls.

That's where it all started. BSA = Birmingham Small Arms. That's Birmingham, Warwickshire, England not Birmingham, Alabama.

Note the stacked rifles on the badge....

I see scopes advertized that are using the BSA logo.
Afilliated with the original bsa factory?
Or somebody trying to associate their product with the history?
