Aside from the awesome headlight which was btw wired by imaginary cables, the speedo which was destroyed from within itself (its like a bomb went off in it but didnt break the glass?), seat which was just sitting on top of the bike.....take a good look at the rear suspension, looks kinda low mounted eh? wtf, it's going to be an ugly duck type of story I suppose. So lets get this duck naked!
Starting to make some progress, added this weird stuff called oil to it which gave me chills of fear and anger due to the fact that someone most likely drove this ugly duck with no blood in her veins. Next I checked the sorry excuse for dried, half corroded spark plugs and said to myself, it's only a frame and title pretend like this motor isnt even part of the end result. Replaced all four with new NGK dr8es-l's and tried to kick her over.......got no where fast. Finger banged the carbs and felt em slide freely and felt a little warm all over so I drained the oil opened her up and wrench back and forth till i felt some cylinder movement. Started feeling better so I moved on to the tank and had ample gas flow so I went back to the carb and drained and free'd up and cleaned up some remnant of what was once gas
and went back to starting position again. This time there was a rumble, then another, then she came alive!
She may have come alive but the tapping sounds made me feel bad for the little duckie

My BSA doesn't leak oil, he marks his territory.
