BSA B40 WD

This one is a BSA B40 WD
It´s manufactered from '66 to '72
It's original an army bike
WD means War Department
For the road it was called a B40 STAR
The Star looked different than this WD one

So this one was changed in a 60's (little bit of a)
caferacer trim.
But it had the looks of a Rocker bike, that's for sure
The blue grey colour was very nice to look at.
So you see, not everything has to be chrome or polished

Here's a AJS model 14
This was a 250cc one cilinder, which was largely to cut costs made up of parts of James, which was joined in 1951 to AMC.
 Of James, the fenders, the tank, the hubs, the swing arm, the nacelle, the saddle, the wheel, the rear position lamp and initially also the front fork, although later models got the teledraulic front fork.
The 250cc engine was newly developed by AMC. He had the appearance of a block engine, but had-hiding behind the left carter lid-a separate gearbox.
The engine remained in production until 1965.

This bike I found in unrestored condition
So what you see is how I found it.
Only I did new tires and a new battery.




Here are mine AJS model 14 and Triumph T140 on the back of the MATCHLESS NEWS of the
AJS & MATCHLESS Owners Club
North American Section

Ok here's the sound of the little bike
GREAT SOUND for such a little bike (250cc)
Also my dog Laika... and a bit of the Triumph T140

Leaving Norfolk with Triumph T100



Richard a friend of mine from the UK recorded this on his telephone
when I left there after staying a couple of days.
Of course  alot of chat before you hear the beautiful sound of the T100
You hear Richard and his wife Topsy and my friend Kevin an his wife Elsie.
Kevin and Richard also do the disco at RnR gigs
They also do every year a benefit with bands like Flying Saucers - Crazy Jay and more
Last weekend they had a benefit evening with Dynamite Horton

Here a photo with Kevin also known as Big K with mine T100
