new owner, India’s Mahindra & Mahindra
It’s not really going to be a BSA.

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

The only question is: Where will the oil leak be?

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

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.

“... will be powered by a battery powered electric engine.”

As opposed to a gasoline powered electric engine?

Nostalgia has a limited shelf life and I don’t get the sense that the world is clamoring for another English-made motorcycle.

If it were Vincent or Bruff (Brough), and they at least paid homage to the original design (as Indian has done in its modern incarnation), that’s a completely different question.

But Birmingham Small Arms? C’mon, the Woke crowd will never stand for the “arms” bit.

My first bike in 1972 was a 1969 BSA Lightning.

Kind of like losing your virginity to a beautiful girl who gives you the clap. I loved it, hated it, and in later years wished I had gone with the CB750.

Looking back, I have often wondered what possessed me to get it after having owned a Triumph Spitfire. Young and stupidly impulsive.

Cannot post a pic to save my life!

.....And don’t start on the “look at the instruction posts”. Been there. For 21 years, been there.
