BSA MC1
Built in the early 1950's, this is the bike that could have changed and possibly saved the British bike industry. Days before its first race the head honcho suits at BSA pulled the plug because its designers couldn't "guarantee a win" first time out. Ironically the NSU Sportmax that was the only real competition for the BSA blew up its motor, so chances are high the BSA would have won. Photo credit: the interwebs.

For trade.
Really nice rear 16" wheel for BSA A65/A50. It's a Harley rim laced to a chrome BSA QD hub. Chrome is real nice, but of course not perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to run this but I want an 18" instead. Come with an awesome Goodyear Eagle A/T tire. A little dusty but tread is hardly touched. Run it!!!
This might be a long shot but I will trade for an equally nice 18" BSA wheel w/QD hub and equally nice tire or extra cash so I can buy something cool. I've already cleaned up my wheel and have lots of photo's. If you can't be bothered to do the same then I'm not interested.
If you don't have anything to trade, make me an offer! Keep in mind your offer has to buy me a nice wheel and tire!

Shop Work
Finally got into the '68 to find out why it's jumping out of 2nd gear.
Timing side apart with transmission removed. Forgot to check end float before pulling. Damn it!!
Transmission out on the bench
Disassembled. The gear dogs are pretty worn and the cam plate was just a bit worn but really just didn't seem like a good cut. Really harsh lines and sharp edges in the tracks. Luckily I have a spare '70 trans that I'll swap a few parts with. The '70 has a thicker cam plate so I'll also need to use the cover from it as well.
Clutch side apart, since you need the clutch out before the trans can be pulled.
Time to reassemble, check end float and possibly take it right back out ;-0

Cleveland Mods vs. Rockers....
....was surprisingly decent. Way too much Jap stuff though. Hardly any Brit iron. I think my A65 would probably have won best Brit - err, make that "only brit" if I would have stayed long enough. I didn't enter anything but I guess you didn't have to... Wait no...there was a serious Velocette Venom present that I would have demanded got the ribbon.
