next workshop day at your house then :thumbup:

and I had a chopper too, used to ride it 2 up and off road!!!!!!!!!! I think it is still up in the rafters of the barn on the farm

So given the Chopper the X7 and the MTX you are probabaly same age as me, so how do the Bantams fit in?..................

O your so lucky, I dream of having a garage, especially this time of year :lol:

That old Black BSA is lovely, loads of character. I can can almost visualise the local bobby riding around on it with his old white helmet.

Well the blue B175 Bantam was my dads, bought new in 1971, i bought it off him about 5 years ago, not running, been sat in his shed for the best part of 18 years, wrapped up under a blanket and an old rug, whilst restoring it back to life the black Bantam came up for sale local to me on Gumtree, went to have a look at it, more for inspiration to finish my blue one, fell in love with it, offered the guy silly money and to my amazment he accepted :) :thumbup:

Welcome aboard rocco-jocco :thumbup: A lovely collection you have there :clap: I had a BSA 175 Bantam (model D14/4) which was my 1st real bike after the moped stage, showing my age now I know :wink:

Mine was a "G" reg but was in blue like your "J" reg model.

I did a check with the reg number of my old bike on the DVLA site, and surprise surprise it's still listed 8O :D

Chris. :wink:
