1955 BSA C11G 250cc at Andy Tiernans

[@misterjones7929]

I inherited a C11G from my Uncle in the 1970's - I mainly used it for commuting, but also rode it on some longer trips; one being a round trip from my home in Kent to Snowdonia and on to Lands end returning via Stonehenge. The sprung single seat was very comfortable and the bike was generally reliable apart from the time it dropped a valve as I was returning from a Scramble at Twesledown! My father came to the rescue towing me home with his Vauxhall Victor. The rear subframe is bolted on, and the bushes tend to wear giving the rear wheel a tendency to weave - never a dull moment with a C11G - Happy days!

Took mine to Cornwall and back to Coventry. Remember taking out oily clutch plates in Oxfordshire at side of the road and flooding the alternator near Dartmoor with a tiny battery the only means of keeping a spark going. Solid and repairable engineering.

My first bike in '67. I'd never ridden a motor bike before but after paying the princely sum of £15 I rode it home in a snow storm. What a way to learn.

Had a C12, the swinging arm model. Good reliable bike, economical, enough performance for town use and gentle runs out. Written off by a myopic Morris 1000 driver in about 1968.. This ones in much better nick!

Happy days. My first bike. No I didn’t pass my test on it. It wouldn’t start on the day. So, I borrowed my mates new Honda 125. A piece of cake. But it was a good comfy bike. Couldn’t coax it over a top registered speed of 55mph.

Had a C15 , Daddy likes it !

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

I had a 1961 C15, but nowhere as nice as this older machine.

Surprised he rode of without folding kickstart in, thought that would be a reflex action to classic bike riders.

[@chrislyddon5296]

They did not always fold in, i remember mine did not.

[@Twopairsofhands]

Mine doesn't fold in. 1955 model.

Lovely immaculate little bike.. but tbe 1st thing that hits you on the walkaround is that horrible japanese NGK plug cap.. Nothing looks worse. Get it changed for a Champion!!
