My ride was a 1968 650 BSA. I gave it up when I met my husband. But every spring I feel that pull, that overwhelming desire to be in the wind again.

This picture isn't of my bike but it's just like her.

A pretty lady indeed. British motorbikes were quite popular back in the hippie days (1968 was right in the ballpark). My one friend in Colorado had a Norton which he was in love with, literally. He treated that bike better than his girlfriend.

“My ride was a 1968 650 BSA.”

I had a BSA Lightning and a Triumph Bonneville back in the day. The Brit bikes were a lot of fun. I think I may still have some Whitworth tools hiding in the garage someplace.

I hope is was a good trade.
