Covid shut it down. I've thought of reviving it but haven't made any steps. |

BSA in decent shape for $50 near me.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...3032996995348/ I might rather have the Humber though, a bit further away https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...1927706405510/ |
The BSA would be my choice.
I would think it to be rarer, |

But the kind of BSAs I prefer have twin cylinders. Besides, the Humber has that awesome, arcane logo

I really like the black one.
Benelli? |
At the risk of turning this into a motorcycle thread, gster I had a 70 A65T which I thought was cool but not a keeper; swampyankee2 i learned to ride on an Ossa…. Still have a couple Ducatis but they don’t see much use these days.

Yes. '65 Benelli 250. Barracuda in the US but called a Sprite elsewhere. It's a twin to the Sprite I had in my youth which unfortunately suffered from my abuse and subsequent neglect in storage under the care of a friend. Still in pieces at this point but one day it will be Motogiro USA worthy.

Raleigh Sports for My Daughter
I'm getting this Raleigh ready for my daughter. She's outgrown her Space Rider and a Dunelt. She likes coaster brakes, so I got an AWC (ii) hub and a dynohub and laced them to Sun CR-18s. Creme Delta Cruisers. I think I have the lights sorted. I have a B66s for her, but she says she likes the monstrosity that came with the bike.
