Jon Rispante's 1966 BSA "Gold Digger"

STREET OR STRIP 1966 BSA A65 Lightning

Built from empty cases and bare frame with high attention to detail.

The "before", pictured in front of my garage.

and the pile o parts that went with it that he was nice enough to take off my hands and actually put to use to build this kick ass ride in less than a year.

Sunsetter UPDATE

"Hi, regarding your blog : "Nothing better than a survivor like "The Sunsetter". Pssst, hey buddy, you know that thing is suppossed to have drag bars, right? Super cool show card with original A.J. Lewis Motorcycle Shop reciepts."

Good news, the bike now has the original drag bars, and cables on it! My uncle owns the bike and wanted me to share this photo with you of the bike with the drag bars on it now. Yes, these are the bars that AJ had installed. The owner before my uncle had put the higher rise ones on there because he had a bad back.

Enjoy, Jason "



Sometimes the right thing does happen. The Sunsetter is a work of perfection again!
