I often look fondly at BSA's at shows but am normally dragged away by the ear. George Quote

PXC Posted February 14, 2022 Report Posted February 14, 2022 Growing up on a farm I had numerous field and trials bikes. Then I bought a BMW R90S in the early 80s. I believe it was the first 120mph production road bike. It had been given a blue full fairing and screen, so didn’t look at all like the R90S should. I stripped it all down to parts, new clutch, acquired the proper bikini fairing/screen and had it resprayed in proper black with “Daytona Orange” trim. I attach a photo - sadly no digital ones then. I also had a BMW boxer 850 roadster from new shortly after that, but no photos now. Both bikes had to go after a few years to make way for children. They’ve grown up and gone now, so now looking for my TR! All the best Paul C. Quote

The XL takes me back a bit. My brother had a CB250K2 in the early 70s. I don't have a motorbike in my garage but I do have a Bike-engined-car, usually abbreviated to BEC. It's a Stuart Taylor Motorsport Phoenix Fireblade and has the 929 engine. I built it myself with a friend, Eldon, a master fabricator. It has about 150bhp but only weighs around 430kgs so it doesn't hang about! Lots of CNC parts, titanium exhaust and paddleshift etc. Sadly, it adorns the garage instead of getting used. Can anyone identify the mystery driver??? Quote

That's a hot looking 'BEC' and if it's anything near as fast as my 93 RRN FireBlade (sold 3 years ago) then it was a lot of fun when it wasn't trying to kill me! Don't recognise the driver though, is it Anne Hegerty? Cheers, Andrew Quote
