  • Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2014 02
    A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 28. No 1. February 2014. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: I was thinking hard about where to begin this message as I have by circumstance found myself having to fill some very large riding boots! The huge mantle of Mike Milner-Smyth was very ably taken on by Andy and just when we thought we were settled with that more change is occurring. I thought I would start off my tenure in this role by just pointing out some of the issues which are with us and where I stand on those. We have very successfully survived the move from Morningside to the VVC and I believe that in the longer term this is absolutely the correct thing for the club. Once the building alterations are complete VMC will feel even more at home in the clubhouse and there will be opportunities and facilities that were not possible at Morningside. I am wearing two hats at the moment but want to assure you that all I do in the context of the VMC will be in the best interests of its members and I hope you will always feel free to engage with me should you ever feel that that there is an issue which in not in keeping with that philosophy. We have a competent and dedicated committee and I believe I can depend on their support in the months ahead. There is always a need for new blood in any organisation and my main message this time is for everyone to give some thought as to who could come onto the committee and bring fresh ideas and energy to it as that is so important in making clubs such as ours sustainable.

    BSA 1949 A7 500 CC 2 CYL OHV SOLD BSA 1949 A7 The BSA A7 was a British motorcycle manufactured by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) at their factory in Armoury Road, Small Heath, Birmingham in 1946. The 495cc BSA A7 continued in production with minor modifications until 1961.The 495cc twin cylinder engine produced 26bhp and was capable of 85mph. A single camshaft behind the cylinders operated the valves via long pushrods passing through a tunnel in the cast iron block. This system needed a considerable number of studs and nuts to fasten down the cylinder head and V.O.F.

Most motorcycles of this period tensioned the primary chain by drawing or rotating the gearbox backwards on a hinge with threaded rods, this was known as pre-unit construction. The first A7 featured a fixed gearbox, bolted to the back of the crankcase, and an internal tensioner for the duplex primary chain. This gave it the appearance of unit construction and pioneered the system later used in unit-construction engines (eg BSA C12/C15, BSA B40, Triumph 3TA and on). However, in 1954 a re-design reverted to the older system. The electrics (as was universal for larger British motorcycles of the period) consisted of two independent systems, the very reliable and self-contained Lucas magneto, with a dynamo generator to charge the battery and provide lights.

  • Harley Davidson 1949 Knuckle S&
    HARLEY DAVIDSON 1949 KNUCKLE S&S BOBBER 2607 SOLD The bob-job evolved from an earlier type of American custom motorcycle, the 'Cut Down', which appeared in the late 1920s, and which was based on the Harley-Davidson 'J' series v-twin. The cut-down was created to modernize the appearance and improve the performance of the aging J-series Harley-Davidson. By removing the front fender and removing all excess accessories, the motorcycle was significantly lightened. The cut-down was also characterized by a sweeping diagonal line between the steering head and rear axle. Such modifications became the standard for bob-jobs, which grew in popularity, whether as show bikes or ordinary road bikes. Bob-jobs reflected the aesthetic tastes of their owners, and were home-built, there V.O.F. Yesterdays - www.yesterdays.nl - offi[email protected] - +31 495 54 60 54 | Page: 1 being no commercially produced road-going bob-job available until the late 1990s. In the late 1990s, the term bob-job became shortened in popular parlance to 'bobber', and the style saw a resurgence in popularity in the custom motorcycle scene. The bobber continues to be favored today; although hybrid styles have emerged, such as the "bobber chopper", and "retro-bobber". Such bobbers exemplify the continuing evolution of the style, and its enduring popularity. The example presented here, consists of an original 1949 Harley-Davidson FL Panhead frame with a new S&S EL Knucklehead engine, which is 74ci or 1200cc. This bobber features, fat 18 x 400 tyres, springer front suspension and has a “hard tail” without any suspension.
