Kawasaki W800. Big heavy bike but looks fun to drive!

Skyteam Dream 50. Nice try. I just don't like how they finished it! Maybe with aftermarket parts but still.

Dont ask :-)

Yeah Cool styling. as usual loose the mirrors... I wonder how it handels!

 

Triumph scrambler. Now that's a bike i want when i'm 50. Make me a 150cc / 250cc and i'm sold!

So for now. I'll stay with the bantam! :-)

So there is no contact with the liquid seal to the engine itself!

Progressiveclassicproducts.co.uk

This enterprise is still really only a glorified hobby; we need to make something for our bikes and so find we can often produce extra items at comparatively low cost. With this in mind please bear with us when ordering parts, we hope to maintain a close dialogue with all customers in respect of delivery times and design advice.

Product Ideas

The aims behind the products we design and supply are to:

• Recreate a machine that would look in keeping back in the sixties
• Improve the performance characteristics over standard period parts
• Help our customers build handsome, competetive machines
• Strike a happy medium between high quality products and the cost of production
• Provide innovative answers to problems associated with building your unique motorcycle.

To achieve these goals we are using modern materials, where suitable, to arrive at weight saving and/or enhanced performance results.
To keep prices down and enable the builder to customize parts to suit their own bike we are willing to supply some products at various stages of production.
To build the bikes we have made many contacts within the manufacturing and wholesale companies in the industry enabling us to price a great range of products at a competitive rate.

A Bsa bantam Article

Very very neat bike that 1000cc ariel!

In the Beginning…

One my earliest memories, one of those mental snapshots from the past was a view, sitting on my Mum’s lap, out of the window of a double adult sidecar. I must have been about 3. The sidecar was attached to a BSA M21 owned by my Dad’s brother Mike, who was an art master & amateur opera singer from Woking in Surrey. The M21 was used as family transport for Mike, my aunt Doreen and their children before it was replaced like so many others by a Morris 1000.

Years later, when I had kids of my own and was re-discovering the wonderful world of old bikes, Mike used to visit us in Norfolk. I learned that before he bought the M21, he had had a Bantam D1, just like the one on the front of the first edition Haynes manual that I had in my motoring library.

A seed was sown.

196x Bob Gollner bantam

This is a genuine Bob Gollner bantam built about 1965.It has a very powerful 4 speed engine, Gollner fitted a Huskvarna piston among other things. Over the years it has had various mods to improve it, like boyer brandson ignition and a power box on the intake. I have had the swinging arm widened to take a modern tyre. At one stage it was owned by Norman Blakemore (NJB Shocks) ,he built the forks which feel similar to marzocchi trick forks and fitted his own rear shocks. It really goes very well and wants for nothing. Brand new Pirellis fitted back and front.
There are some newspaper articles about this very bike with it.

A most remarkable historic style replica watch which is designed with an aunthentic 1940-50's look with its simple vintage shaped watch case and amazing enamel style dial featuring the GPO telegram logo & vintage BSA stacked rifle trademark.  The dial is steeped in history and a neat souvenier of the time when GPO telegrams were quite often delivered by dispatch riders using the BSA Bantam motorcycle. 

This modern historic style replica watch uses a battery quartz movement, it has a convex sun yellowed style mineral glass dial lense, super sharp dial details, nice quality hide strap in black.  The dial area measures 33mm in diameter and the watch falls into the medium to large mens category.  Overall a very authentic & stunning heavy weight repro watch, definitely one for the collector.

Nice watch! Found on e-bay. If you buy it i hope the quality is good for that price!

Take a break! After the police run the mods out of town!
