Hi Markku... That is one very serious long list of BSA's that you have there! Wow!

I also had a Briggs sidecar but got rid of it as we found it hard to get in and out of it, it is also a very heavy hack. I sold it on and got an Avon Canterbury sport. More here about the Briggs. http://www.ljswain.btinternet.co.uk/sidecar.htm

Somewhere between a list of Markku's BSA's and a museum inventory.

Welcome Markku

Finland is a lovely country (have friend in Karjaa). Your collection of bikes makes me wonder just how big your garage is & also how tolerant your wife is! Your restorations are excellent- well done!
Don't be afraid to ask questions here, although, looking at your work, we will be asking you!

Hello,

Polishing aluminium is quite easy, see topic: Polishing Aluminum - My Amateur Efforts  on the Engine board. I have done and acquired some machines to help with these messy works. The shine do not last very long in use.  Solvol Autosol will help.

What a collection, Markku! Nice to see the old Brit Iron preserved & also to see the Union Jacks, too!

Wishing you a Happy Christmas. It will be cold where you are so keep paying the bills!

Nice to see a shed with the bikes all in one piece and even in a row.
terrific collection, am very jealous. One day I'll have all mine together and my shed tidy  *whistle*
With such a collection of beesa's do you have a favourite?

I'm tempted to say "Finland, of all places!", but it just shows my ignorance. Really Markuu, a fantastic assortment and I'm glad you've joined us and shared your shed. I hope you'll post photos of your favorites.

As far as having bikes in a nice row, I already have that under control. No matter where it is, my bike is in a nice row AND a nice column, since it is an arrangement of one.
