I have just bought a 1968 D14/4S but the paint on the side covers, tank and chainguard is rather tired looking. It's a sort of shade of red. Does anyone know...

Niggle, If you think that £800-£1500 is about right for a Bantam you can have both of mine and perhaps my son Tom's too. Seriously, £500 would be about tops...
Sorry - I must apologise on behalf of my ill-mannered motorcycle who has been taking liberties with my email account. I thought he'd set up one of his own,...
... have both ... Only going by the prices in the classic bike ads- now a £500 Bantam could be a more realistic prospect- but where are they? Niggle P.S. What...
I got a Bushman Sport (it says here on the side) from a chap in Northumberland advertising on the net. He was asking £450 and told the carrier he had lost...
I was told by a friend that I had overpaid when I spent £450 on my D14/4S. My D1 came to me for £100 and went straight through the MOT, Cheers, Stuart Seale ...
I have returned from a very pleasant( and hot!) weekends camping, out for the first time with the South Derbys at Coleorton. Nice friendly company, with a good...
Nice thing about Bantams is that all the engine mounts are the same, if you can find a D1 powerplant you can just pop it in & connect it up. Anyone ever...
Alyson, I'm afraid you won't be able to take your test on a D1 as it just doesn't go fast enough, I'm afraid. Suggest you borrow a Honda 125. Good Luck, ...
... doesn't go ... ????????????????????????????????????? Stuart, I'm intrigued by this statement. Although it's over 25 yrs since I took my test (still riding...
I got caught out by this too. Couple of years ago had a mad 5 minutes and bought an M21 combination thinking I'd be able to ride it on my car license - no such...
Paul, My son Tom explained a bt more in one of his messages. He discovered when preparing to take his test on his D1 that for the standard motorcycle test the...
A D1 is ok for the CBT but for the ... doing ... on the ... manufacturer's ... capability. I am sure that there must be something very official looking...

If you ride your D1 flat out, chin on the tank past a speed camera then you will automatically be provided with official, documentary evidence of it's top...
... It may be worth some investigation but I would imagine we're talking about specially tuned bikes here, not those just out of the showroom - or when they're...
... Ah, there's a thought - but not sure I fancy the extra expense. Might take a little more investigation too to find a camera conveniently at the bottom of a...

Hi, Hopefully someone will have the answer to the following problem:- What is the easiest way to register a D1(recently restored)if I don't have any logbook...
We've just done that. Rang DVLA for the forms, (sorry can't remember the form number), sent it all off, with MoT, dating certificate - ours came with one from...
I think the best way is to get the BSA Owners Club to issue you with a dating certificate that you can then forward to the DVLA. There is a charge for this...
