BSA motorcycle combinations were the mainstay of the Automobile Association’s breakdown fleet in the 1950s and the early 1960s. The AA used over 2,000 of the M20, and later M21 models, and was the last purchaser of the M21 when production ended in 1961.
This 1958 600cc BSA M21 model UYO 151 is on display at the Thinktank science museum in Birmingham. The Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) factory was located in Armoury Road, Small Heath.
This has seen much better days, but I love anything BSA and at a tenner thought it would make a good long term restoration project.

Out with Jill on Himmy..
(133(s)miles) yesterday.!
Sheffield to Tadcaster (near York) for a Royal Enfield meet at Eddy's Moto. (Pictures later!) It rained on the way and only a few guys and girls turned up!! Never mind..
Headed back to Sheffield via Squires biker café for a coffee and a wee..! (Pictures later!)
Then picked up Jill from home in warm sunshine and went to a Classic Bike Show at Steel City Classics in Chesterfield..(steelcityclassics.co.uk/)
Saw some cool bikes there!!
Then home via a bit of our local Peak District.. Nice!
1968, 650cc
Seen at Buttermere in the Lake District..
Taken with owner's permission.
Seems bike has been in Canada all it's life until came back this year!!
Nikon D4S with a Samyang 85mm f1.4 at f2.8 ISO 100. Post work done using my usual CS2, Silver Efex Pro running in XP.
Here's another "as bought" bike that dad acquired many years ago. I believe that it was rebuilt but can't find a shot of the finished project. Perhaps dad can assist. I also have a sneaky feeling that for some reason I had a wish to work on this 250cc bike myself, but that certainly didn't happen. The C12 had a short production run from 1956 to 1958 and was a slight change and upgrade from the C11G. It was superseded by the C15.
Dad advises that a he sold the bike to my uncle who has apparently rebuilt it properly and he believes that he still owns it.
Cruising alongside the tramway at Beamish Museum is this 1913 BSA tourer, complete with a very happy couple enjoying the Spring sunshine. I believe that this model is the Crichton Torpedo Tourer, but I could be wrong! This particular one, based upon it's registration plate (RI 3326), is originally from the Irish Republic.
BSA was a British company, 'Birmingham Small Arms Co', founded 1861, making guns, bicycles and later motorcycles and cars, BSA manufactured cars between 1907 and 1939 but the company was, perhaps, much more famous for the production of BSA motorcycles.
The car was at Beamish for the Steam Gala event on 9/10 April 2022.

An elegant young couple posing on a seemingly brand-new BSA motorcycle. He is wearing a Knickerbocker suit with Argyle-patterned knee-highs, she is dressed in a light-coloured fur-trimmed coat. Both are wearing goggles over their berets. The vehicle is registered in the French département of Alpes-Maritimes. Note the wonderful ornament on the bike's front number plate.
Country of origin: France
Wow look at this one!!
1947 BSA (M33-I think!) 496cc (500) single..
Bit of a 'barn find' I think.
Spoke to the owner rider who was dressed in gear from same time period!! He says it came to him as loads of bits in a box!
He put it all back together as a 'Covid 19' project and registered it in 2022!
Been using it as his main transport since..
He did say and you can see it, that it still is leaking oil from somewhere (puddle growing on floor!)
He said he has a couple of other similar bike projects going on at his home.
Seen at the services on M27 near Southampton! He was on his way to Norfolk I think he said!
I did ask if I could take some pictures!!
Ooh I've not posted a photo of a British cafe racer to my Flickr "cafe racers" album for a little while - basically because I haven't taken any. This afternoon we saw this beauty - a 350 BSA with a genuine DB engine number. I'm not sure what it is about a pair of "clip-ons" and some rear set footrests that gets me so giddy....
