The Book of the BSA - An Owners Workshop Manual for Pre-War BSA Motorcycles


Book Description

94 pages, 54 illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. An illustrated Owner's Workshop Manual covering Pre-War BSA Single and Twin-Cylinder SV and OHV Motorcycles. This is a faithful reproduction of the Floyd Clymer (W.C. Haycraft) Book Of The BSA originally published in the US in 1947. Much more detailed than the owner's handbook, this manual includes complete technical data, service and maintenance information and detailed instructions for the repair and overhaul of the major mechanical and electrical components for the majority of the pre-war BSA single and twin cylinder motorcycles. However, as this manual was written specifically for the motorcycles constructed between 1936 through 1939 the information may not be quite as comprehensive for the earlier versions of these models. There is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete mechanical renovation, making it an invaluable resource for collectors and restorers of these classic BSA motorcycles. OHV and SV Models covered by this publication are: 150c.c. - X0. 250c.c. - B1, B2, B18, B20, B21, B22, C10, C11. 350c.c. - B23, B24, B25, B26, M19, R4, R5, R17, R19, R20. 500c.c. - J12, M20, M22, M23, M24, Q7, Q8, Q21, W6. 600c.c. - M10, M21. 750c.c. - Y13. 1,000c.c. - G14.







The BSA Bantam Bible


Book Description

Year-by-year evolution of the BSA Bantam, a simple commuter bike that thousands learnt to ride on. It became the standard GPO ‘telegram bike’ in the 1950s and was a huge success, with 100,000 built in the first four years of production. It’s a story with interesting asides, like the Hummer, Harley-Davidson’s version of the DKW that inspired the Bantam, and survived into the 1960s. But it’s a sad story too – BSA failed to follow up the Bantam’s early success by developing it, and by the mid-1960s it was looking outdated, especially next to the new breed of four-stroke Hondas. That the Bantam was allowed to fizzle out in 1971 symbolised the state of the industry that produced it, but today there’s a thriving community of Bantam owner/riders. The book ends with a guide to buying a secondhand Bantam, along with useful appendices on specifications, engine/frame numbers, and contacts among the clubs and Bantam specialists. Every Bantam owner, or would be owner, needs this book - the Bantam Bible!




Motor-cycling for Women 1928


Book Description

Betty and Nancy Debenham were a pair of young adventurous lady motorcyclists who entered trials competitions on equal terms with men in the 1920's. Although they were serious motorcyclists they never let this get in the way of their tremendous sense of fun. Their spirit shines through in 'Motor Cycling for Women'. A practical and yet at times eccentric and quirky book from a bye-gone era that will make you smile.
