Ah yes.....BSA motorcycles. Really it stands for Birmingham Small Arms but most everyone prefers Bastard Stopped Again!

Mark was happy. He chose the Velocette
The break down on the budget from 2010 pissed me off a bit though.
All that money raised and hardly any went to charity!
Before the council got involved ALL the money went to charity. What was collected every week went straight to a good cause there and then (the charity representatives often were the ones to pick Bike of the Week too)

That is a BSA isn't it, Trudi?
That's right- Do you have Wallace and Grommit? The characters ride this bike in the cartoons.
The parcel shelf in the side car had the characters on display. I would taken more pictures but there were so many people it was hard to get anything without sharp elbows.
My uncle had one (I think it was this type) and although I sat in the side car I never went anywhere in it

Trudi, once government of any sort gets involved in anything you can guarantee it's going to get messed up beyond repair.
Government first > charity > respectable tax paying citizens <-- food chain
