BSA bobber


The shop owner's policy is simple: no choppers. Choppers flip the form-follows-function principle backwards, with owners more worried about chrome, garish color selection and having more maltese crosses and skulls than the neighbors. I'm all about self expression, but this isn't what motorcycling should be about.

Some Harleys are allowed past the bay door, as some Brit bike owners also ride Harleys. Bobbers fall in the grey. Take this BSA: definitely not stock, but still rideable. There are a few Chopper qualities, but they haven't molested the overall package. Stock front end, rigid rear, few modifications here and there. Simple, clean, proper ergonomics, and professionally executed. Could use a cleaner exhaust system. This one passes the exam.
