This post should be in "Meeting & Events" ??? Should it not.

I was at the last BSA Nationals, will miss this one unfortunately,

BUT just scored a barnfind '69 Lightning (7000 miles Genuine) Work is underway as I type, hell yeah!

When I was pulling the Lightning out from under boxes & mattresses in the (73 yr old) guys basement, his 2nd wife of 20 years came down & said that in 20 years of living with him she had never seen that bike before. LOL He had partly stripped it with good intentions, started some restoration (both Wheels with rubber & s/s spokes), brought new parts that would be required (Headers / Mufflers) THEN life got in the way!!

Engine now done, Frame finished, Nickel plating done, Chrome sorted, Now the bolt up! Yeah, I know, the hard part but I've documented & bagged everything.
Will I enjoy riding a real BSA?
Ive only ever ridden one, it vibrated soooo much I was glad to get off & give it back to its owner, LOL
