Great report and Love seeing the old British bikes .
my Dad had a BSA 650 lightning that he kept in a locked metal shed with documented mileage and hid the key .
at 14 I found the key and learned i could take a couple panels off the back of the shed , roll it out , disconnect the speedo cable and have a great time while he was out of town . was a fantastic experience until he came home early one day ........
I was a troubled child

My BSA Lightnings were motorcycles that I really enjoyed. The first was a year old 1966 model that I bought for $700. I converted it to a café racer with accessories from Eddie Dow and Paul Dunstall in Britain.

The second was an eight year old 1971 quasi chopper that I bought for $700. I restored it to its original condition, except for the paint which was really ugly for that model year. It got a coat of basic black.

Penny was apposed to me buying a motorcycle, but after her first ride she never missed a Sunday ride.

Girl modestly looking away. Coupé. Motorcycle. A Cliff Richard shadow. And a Siamese cat!

Man, if that picture were a movie, YouTube would go ballistic.

Penny is keeping a close eye on Vanessa as there is a open field across the street and she had a tendency to wander. She was actually a seal point Himalayan, a Persian cat with Siamese colouring.

Her mates were blue point Himalayans, white with gray colouring. She ruled the house with an iron paw and lived to be seventeen, outliving both of her mates. Like the old adage: Why do men die before their wives? Because they want to.
