Well here is a picture of my BSA B40 engine so far.  Close to being closed up.  Working on the frame and attachments now.

looking proper and upright, great job!
I live with fear and danger everyday, but sometimes I leave her at home and go motorcycling.

   Starting to see a dim light at the end of a long tunnel? Looks good. CHEERS.

Here's another picture of the BSA's frame so far.  Every step forward we seem to have one step back or something like that.  When assembling parts to put it back together it is amazing how many seem to be missing, damaged or incomplete.  Lots of fun tracking new ones down.  Not sure how many hours Bulldog has spent on the phone but it has been considerable.  I don't think I will ever be able to repay him for all the tracking down of parts that he has done.   I probably could not have done it.

     Thanks for the kind words Donovan but it takes to that you and me . I don't know how you can put up with me sometimes, but anyways we will get this B40 on the road where she belongs. First got the screw out we were working on this morning, then repaired the piece, painted your swing arm and then repaired your head light ear. I guarantee she will be a strong runner.  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to get brighter.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Will try this again.  I guess my files are too large.  But got the engine in just a lot of other stuff to do now.

Donovan.  I am looking forward to hearing your bike.  I love Bulldog's Victor.

After we chatted at the movie a few weeks back I was all over the web looking for B series engines.  I even found a pseudo B50 that was made by CCM.  Big dollars though.

Looking forward hearing the cracking roar of 400cc of pushrod thumper power.

Peace & Grease, Dennis
