Just-another-joe

The ol' girl BSA B50. Was my best friends bike as a teenager. Went from field bike, road bike to cafe racer. Unfortunately main owner Paul Tunnucliffe (RIP) died and his son Sion inherited the bike. He had no storage or interest in the bike so I ended up being its caretaker for many years. Keeping it ticking over, serviced but more importantly for me showing it to people and keeping Paul's legacy alive. After a few years of ir being stolen, recovered, stolen, recovered again. I was contacted by one of Paul's friends from when he was a teenager "who was after a project" - these words scared me as this is no project bike but a bike that needed fettling and continuous maintenance. Not something that needed changing in any way... I believe. It had an over squared piston at 650ccm which made starting it a little challenging bit who doesnt enjoy a challenge?

I'd missed this thread of yours Jim but just had a read through and found it so entertaining. You could travel the world documenting auto shite type cars haha! Really enjoying reading about your journey, may there be many more!

I'll be there in the little 105 brake mk5 golf!
