    The better 125 Kawasaki engine went to Mike Green ages ago and the RG400 barrels went to Neil some time back.....
    I had all the bits, just no bucket activity here now.

    Wonder if I could get an RG400 barrel. Be better than the modified TF100 water cooled on I have on there now I should think.

    Gone to Mike Greeen also. I'd doubt if Neil will do anything with the RG400 barrels. You could ask - diesel pig on here.

    They seem to have mixed up what a BSA a65 lighting or a Super Rocket.

    Thinking about it, they'd be no good. Disk valve motor in the RG...unless I bore a hole in the timing side of the TF.

    If you have to ask maybe a 15K BSA bantum isn't for you.

    Well, I know it's not for me.

    Fifty plus years ago there was an old guy up the road had a Bantam. He used to turn the gas off going past where I lived. That gave him just enough gas to get to his garage before the engine cut out. If he miscalculated he'd have had an uphill push.

    There's a 1%er of my acquaintance has had several BSAs. Previously he has mentioned that a Bantam might be interesting in a whimsical sort of way. I suspect fifteen grand exceeds his sense of whimsy.

    I am selling Dads, BSA A10 and A65 both are infinitely better bikes yet will cost a lot less....
    There actually was a Plunger bantam at on stage it might still be there
    There is also a far more interesting pair of 2-stroke Ducatis.

    We used to have a BSA.

    It shot pellets. Managed to ricochet one off a tree and hit me in the leg. Guess I shouldn't have been playing with it.

    Did it teach me a lesson? Not sure I think I was still pretty stupid for a number of years.

    If you never owned another one, you learned plenty.

    Mine shot a spark plug into my leg. Like right in, had to pull it out.

    Taught me not to wear shorts. And that araldite wasn't an adequate field repair for a stripped plug thread.

    That's probably double what it's actually worth, there's two on TM, one has hit reserve at $3.8k and the other starts at $3.2K
