[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 865878, member: 665"] '40s/'50s BSA M20/M21 -- 500cc/600cc flat-head single (M20 = 13HP, top speed = 55 MPH) Gear box usually filled with grease (as opposed to gear-lube) -- much neater... I once went to look at one I heard of tucked-away in the corner of a guy's garage -- when I asked if he'd be interested in selling it, he answered: "I'm keeping it for my kid -- when he gets older he'll want to ride it." Years later I chanced to meet him again and asked about the BSA. He said his, then, teen rode it once down the road and that was it -- wasn't interested. Just don't understand..., what's wrong with 40/45MPH cruising...? :huh: :unsure: [/QUOTE]
