Great quotations for us BSA'ers

Maybe should appear everytime  GB gives his famous crank sumptrap warning

"He who is without oil shall cast out the first rod ."   book of detonations 5.72 !

Back when I first started riding Beezers, I was told that BSA stood for “bastard stopped again”…

And Bloody Sore Ar*se (Ass for Americans)

*the forum software changes the A**e word to 'idiot' but doesn't mind 'Ass' 🤔

And Bits Stuck Anywhere

Being something of a pedant, a restricted oil flow due to a full sludge trap is most unlikely to result in a thrown rod. A seized piston is a much more likely outcome.

I can't comment personally on the BSA variety of a blocked sludge trap (and touch wood I never will!) but the Triumph twins with a full sludge trap tend to nip up on the big end(s) leading to a broken LH con-rod rather than seized pistons.

worty's big ends survived very well considering that most of the oil was flowing straight into the sump because of a gap between bush and journal bigger than the gap between a train and the platform
