  1. Welcome!

    What model BSA was it? I've had the pleasure of few miles on older bikes, BSA Bantam, BSA C15, Velocette 250 MAC etc

    And I'm proud to say i'm from good old Northern Ireland too! There's a few of us on here.

    Merry Xmas!! I have my brother checking old photos to see if I can post them so you can help us identify my Grandad's bike. He was known to ride BSA's, Nortons, etc over the years. I think we have a photo of him sitting on the bike i remember in Maguiresbride in 1956 or so. My current ride, as I understand it, would be called an xvs 250 Dragstar in the UK. I absolutely love it!! All the best, ross

  2. Thanks for the advice, but i might have to wait for Obama's national health to qualify for a free bicycle. I was talking about 60mph not 60kph. I hope that doesn't mean I'd be 95 years old if I moved to the UK!!

  3. Hello All!! I just bought my second bike at the age of 60 so I'm learning everthing anew. I'm also a complete computer luddite so apologies in advance for delayed replies as I've had these typing fingers for sixty years and I can't do a thing with them! By the by, are you all Brits here? I think I qualify, as the first time I "rode" a motorbike was sitting on the gastank of my grandfather's BSA in Fermangh,NI in the 1950's. Very fond memories,indeed. I don't quite understand how a group of Brit gearheads can be so witty- I'm constantly laughing at the repartee. All the best, and apologies for my Trimph riding brother in New York!!

  4. Hi Folks I,m another newbie who commutes on a small bike due to some issues with arthritis. i commute at approx 60mph and this bike has no tach. am i shortening the longevity of the engine at these rpms? top end on the virago is much higher than 60 mph, but i need this bike to last a long time and i really can't handle a heavier machine due to leg strength. i'd appreciate any thoughts. thanks
