2 650cc BSA Lightnings
The 1966 model I made into a café racer with parts from Britain.
Sold it when the Kawasaki H2 Mach IV became available.
The 1971 model I bought second hand was a quasi chopper.
I restored it except for the original paint which was hideous.
I painted it glossy black.
Sold it to buy a Yamaha XS1100 which I equipped with a Vetter fairing, saddle bags and trunk for touring.
Something about those two that I will always appreciate.
