gunner BritBike Forum member Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 1,210 Farnham, Surrey, UK	Today I took part in a classic bike charity run at Fleet Hampshire to raise money for a local hospice. We had a good ride out with some rain but managed to raise over Â£700 for a good cause. I was riding my 1968 BSA A65 Firebird scrambler which later won a prize for best in show, see pics below:- 1968 A65 Firebird 1967 B44 Shooting Star 1972 Norton Commando

I fell in love with the chrome look of a BSA. Of course this bike doesn't look like a B25S but I think it's gorgeous. What do you think? I'll need a lot of assistance in working on it. It's mostly cosmetic stuff. The bars will definitely be replaced with a Euro spec bar. 1967 Ducati Monza 250 1969 BSA B25S Starfire 1972 Cafe Racer Honda CB350 1973 Bultaco Pursang 125/250 2012 Kawasaki Versys 650 2014 Triumph Street Triple

It sat too long without riding and wet-sumps significantly. One of these days, I'll fix it up and let it get some regular riding; for now, it has to wait... Okay all you rivet counters, have at it!

Ive gathered all the correct parts but I have thought of using a custom front fender . The original is a bit clunky . Also will decide later if I'll use the original mufflers. Also a bit big, which is probably why most of them are missing. Bike came with Shorty mufflers but didnt really like those either. Maybe some custom straight pipes or something . It already has alloy rims on it from when I bought it. So a mild custom may already be in the works..... http://wadeschields.tumblr.com/ Jack of all trades . Master of fun! Beer is not the Answer....
