THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING IT A FUTURE PRIZED POSSESSION :) ESTATE* BSA MOTORCYCLE OWNED BY SAME PERSON FOR OVER 25 YEARS. WHEN IT WAS PUT IN STORAGE, IT WAS ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WOULD RESTORE THAT BIKE SOMEDAY. AFTER MUCH TIME THINKING & TALKING ABOUT THE ENJOYMENT OF RIDING THAT THE BIKE GAVE HIM, THE DAY CAME A FEW YEARS AGO. HE HAD THE TIME AND NOW THE BSA WAS ON TOP OF HIS LIST, SO THE PROJECT STARTED. DISASSEMBLING, CLEANING, CHECKING, AND MAKING LISTS AND LISTS OF PARTS & IDEAS. ALWAYS THINKING IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND THAT HE COULD DO THIS PROJECT. THE NEXT TASK WAS TO GET ALL THE PARTS TO MAKE IT NEW AGAIN. THE PROJECT WAS MOVING ALONG, EACH WEEK GETTING PARTS AND INFO ON REBUILDING ENGINE, TRANS, Etc. AFTER A LONG TIME OF REBUILDING AND ASSEMBLING THE BSA..... THE DAY FINALLY CAME TO START THE ENGINE. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND RUNNING IT FOR A WHILE, HE LOOKED AT HIS WIFE AND SAID, "I DID IT, IT RUNS SMOOTH! " AFTER SHUTTING THE BIKE OFF AND GETTING OFF THE SEAT, HE HAD A SHORTNESS OF BREATH, COLLAPSED, AND PASSED AWAY NEXT TO THE BIKE. THIS WAS A VERY SAD DAY OF COURSE, AND THE DECISION TO SELL THIS MOTORCYCLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND COULDN'T BE DECIDED ON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT, NOW THE TIME HAS COME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY IT. HE SPENT OVER $3,000.00 IN PARTS AND A LOT OF TIME FINDING THEM AS WELL AS WORKING ON THE BIKE TO THE POINT IT'S AT NOW. IT NEEDS FINISHING, AND TO BE ENJOYED BY SOMEONE AS MUCH AS IT WAS BY HIM. SO WHAT IS INCLUDED? THE MOTORCYCLE AND THE PARTS ..... REFER TO PHOTOS: SOME ARE OF THE MOTORCYCLE BEING REBUILT, SOME SHOW PARTS, NEW AND OLD, THE PARTS SEEN IN PHOTOS ON BLUE TABLE ARE INCLUDED. THE OTHER PHOTOS SHOW THE BIKE IN THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN NOW. NOTE: WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A SUPER ROCKET MODEL. WE ARE NOT POSITIVE OF THE EXACT YEAR OF THE BIKE, (THERE ARE PICTURES OF THE VIN NUMBER BELOW) THE REGISTRATION HAS BEEN LOST, WHICH WAS GOING TO BE REPLACED ONCE IT WAS ROAD READY. UNFORTUNATELY, THINGS CHANGED BEFORE THAT HAPPENED. WE DO HAVE PAPERWORK TO GET A REPLACEMENT (TRANSFERABLE) REGISTRATION (WHICH IS THE TITLE FOR ANY VEHICLE OLDER THAN 1973 IN NY). WE WILL HELP WITH GETTING THE PAPERWORK. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE BIDDING. WE MAY HAVE SOMEONE AVAILABLE FOR POSSIBLE DELIVERY OF MOTORCYCLE & PARTS, ASK QUESTIONS. 315-532-6434
