BSA Motorcycles Ltd. broke the news with the first ever tweet in its brand new Twitter account: “Return of a Legend. #BSAisBack.

I don’t know much about motorcycles - hopefully it won’t run like a tractor.

I nearly put a 67 BSA lightning through the back wall of a garage once. Darn shifter and brake got switched around somehow. :)

Beezers and Triumphs were different nameplates on the same bikes it seemed to me.

BSA-Nortons-Triumphs-Villiers were all owned under the same umbrella. Then after bankruptcy the brands were sold off again..............

I had Lucas electrics in my old Mk2 Jaguar. They were about the only thing that worked on that car.

A saw a Royal Enfield a couple of months ago. Also made in India. Not by Mahindra, though.

Mahindra advertised on the Rush Limbaugh show some time during the last few years, IIRC.
