Aangezien de weersvoorspellingen voor zaterdag 25 november rond de regio Bremen erg goed waren, werd er voor een aantal uur richting het noorden getrokken. Het zou hier voor een goede 8 uur compleet strakblauw zijn. Met niet al te hoge verwachtingen vertrokken we dan ook rond half 7 richting Duitsland. Na aankomst op de eerste stek, gelegen bij Etelsen, werd er het weiland in gelopen. Hier bleek het al gauw dat de grond een stuk zachter was dan verwacht, en zakte ik zo met mijn rechterbeen de modder in.. Zo werd er "goed" afgetrapt aan deze dag. Na een alternatieve weg richting de gewenste stek, kon het hoogstatief opgebouwd worden. Hier werd in de vriezende kou op MEG gewacht. Foto volgt later. Na MEG maakte ik aan richting de auto, waar ik in alle rust even op kon warmen. Zo'n uur later kwam ook Jelani terug naar de auto, en werd er aanstalten gemaakt naar de volgende stek. Bij aankomst bleek er al gauw dat er nog fraaie herfstkleuren aanwezig waren. Dit was natuurlijk extra mooi meegenomen aangezien ik nog geen echt herfstplaatje had dit jaar. Afin, na zo'n 20 minuten wachten kwam er een melding uit Bremen dat BSAS onderweg was met een van hun Euroduals. Dit was een opluchter, want er werd niks verwacht naast DB met een DE18. Na zo'n 30 minuten wachten hoorden we wat geruis in de verte, en kwam BSAS achter de bomen tevoorschijn.
Het is kwart over 2 wanneer de fraaie trein de 2 fotografen passeert met aan de haak trein 76954, afkomstig uit Wilhelmshaven Ölweiche naar Ingolstadt. Hierna werd er nog gewacht op DB en TXL, waar DB een losse loc bleek te zijn en TXL niet meer in daglicht passeerde...
Die Motorräder der Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited ( BSA ) wurden von einem großen britischen Industriekonzern hergestellt, einer Unternehmensgruppe, die Militär- und Sportfeuerwaffen herstellte. Eine von der Regierung organisierte Rettungsaktion führte 1973 zur Übernahme des Motorradbetriebs von BSA-Triumph durch Norton-Villiers, später bekannt als Norton Villiers Triumph . Als Norton Villiers Triumph 1978 liquidiert wurde, wurden die Rechte zur Nutzung des Markennamens BSA von einem neuen Unternehmen, der BSA Company, erworben.
The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) motorcycles were manufactured by a large British industrial group, a group of companies that manufactured military and sporting firearms. In 1973, a government-organized rescue operation led to the takeover of the BSA-Triumph motorcycle business by Norton-Villiers, later known as Norton Villiers Triumph. When Norton Villiers Triumph was liquidated in 1978, the rights to use the BSA brand name were acquired by a new company, the BSA Company.
Found in the never ending "box" of family photos. I'd say how many photos I think we've looked through, but nobody believes it, so I won't bother. Lets just say I started this exercise two years and 50 weeks ago! Obviously I "put it down and pick it up again" so to speak - its not been a constant thing, but I can only face doing a bit at a time. What is "doing my head in" is the repetition - lots of family members had the same photo and the collection/archive I'm sorting through is basically everyone's photos :-( going back to the late 1800s.
This shot is of some interest as I hadn't realised there was any interest in motorcycling in previous generations. For all I know the BSA and sidecar might not have been owned by a family member, but there are definitely some family members in the shot.
Adults and kids all wearing hats :-)
I recently found some reels of B/W negatives taken by me in 1968/69 on a Praktika 35mm camera which were developed by me and then put in a tin and forgotten about till now. I have scanned them and this is one of them.
Photo of me sitting on my new 650cc BSA Spitfire after riding 350miles to my friends house in Kendal in The Lake District in 1968. I was twenty one at the time.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
A member of the Cotswold Classic Car Club rode his 1956 BSA 350, SSU 522, to a breakfast meeting at Gloucestershire Airport on 21st August 2024.
A cute but unusual little BSA Bantam.
It looks like some kind of drag racer or sprint bike but also seems to have a rear licence plate and a back light. Curious.
I can't imagine it being a road bike because A. No rear suspension and B. The expansion chamber on the right hand side of the bike is likely to hit the road surface whilst cornering.
Whatever it is - I like it.

Flat Out Friday -
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Flat Out Friday is an indoor, flat track, motorcycle race on a Dr. Pepper soda syrup surface. The dried syrup will allow the bikes to stick to the floor for maximum traction and speed. Mama Tried Show is a weekend indoor invitational showcasing the best honest, homebuilt, and unusual race and street motorcycles from the Midwest and beyond.
Chuck Dickenson BSA racer #26 is 70 years old--Much respect
Had a chat with the guy who bought this in the auction at the Stafford Show.
He was made-up got it for around £8k, it is a beaut!
The Post Office began trialling the use of motorbikes for delivering telegrams in 1933. Many of the motorbike riders were boys as young as 16. Officials made sure they underwent careful monitoring every six months to check for any health problems.
The Second World War saw the motorbike fleet triple in size to meet demand despite wartime petrol shortages. Messengers delivered vital intelligence and faced the unhappy task of bringing news of soldiers killed on the front line. They gained the nickname “Angels of Death”.
This 1941 BSA 250 is preserved in excellent condition in The Postal Museum, London.
A BSA M22 Sports 500cc OHV stands ready behind army tents at the airshow, recalling its role during the Second World War. These motorcycles were widely used by the British Army for dispatch riding, reconnaissance, and rapid communication between units. Reliable and versatile, BSA bikes were essential for keeping operations moving across airfields and battlefields, offering a glimpse into the practical vehicles that supported wartime efforts.
British motorcycle of uncertain vintage and model, its a BSA is all I know...
Although I have had a lifelong affinity for the two wheel method of motorised propulsion, my effin arthritis got in the way, so now I can only take pics of bikes that catch my eye rather thrash the bejesus out of them on a Sunday. At least I didn’t end up missing a limb or crated before my time.
This one was gleaming in the feeble autumn sun, parked up on Matlock Bath’s main drag...I reckon the speedo is a tad optimistic ;)
