Old Beezer
Gary was kind enough to stop by a couple days ago at the Ranch at B&J Racing to let me check out his most recently completed project. It's a 1962 BSA A50, first year of the unit construction Beezers.....
It's taken him about ten years to get this one to the final stages. According to the Smiths gauges in the headlight stem it has 20,130 original miles on it. He thinks he's put about 250 miles on since he completed it a couple of months ago.
The color is not spot on to the BSA original color. Gary say's it was a bit too drab of a green for him. And since he's not planning to show the bike and he built it to ride, he found a green that was close. Next time you see a new Volkswagen Beetle in a teal green, that's it.
HERE's another of Gary's BSA restorations that was the subject of a skatetruck blather.

This is a sweet looking ride.
Good job .
You know how sometimes you'll point out different bikes and say: Isn't that sweet? And a lot of the time I look at you like you might've said something to the effect of: Iron my shirt, bitch? Well..that one really is.
I think it's great that it was restored to be ridden, and not just looked at.....After all, BSA didn't design it to be a trailer queen..........Huh,....wait a min, it's English, Lucas electronics,....maybe it was built to be trailerd...
Just kidding it is a great looking A50..I like the VW green... Great job Gary
