Swap BSA Bantam for SDC2300

[Bobh]

Great bike MJB
It is similar to the one I learnt to ride on almost 50 years ago. My father's had "sissy bars" and a lap rug.
I recall my father saying he was able to purchase spare parts for it over the counter at a Port Adelaide dealer for 25 years after he purchased it. I still reckon those seats were more comfortable than some of today.
Cheers

Nice restoration, my mate had one, I had a Triumph Tiger Cub! both slow if you were going far! but goo fun!
Good luck with your swap, or maybe e-bay it?

 

[MJB]

Thanks Cairnspom,

I figured a straight swap would be easier but at the moment there does not seem to be anyone out there who wants to get around on a piece of motorcycling history
Wow BOBH... sissy bars and a lap rug! that would complete the look no doubt, maybe I should source them and that may mean the difference between a deal or not.

Cheers

I have an sdc 2300 that is only a week old where are you located mate?

 

[MJB]

Hi Cocosa,

I'm in Mt Gambier SA mate. Have you had enough of the SDC after a week already?

 

[cososa]

Haha nah mate I'm looking at getting a 7000 SA is a bit of a mission for me though as I'm in Brisbane. Would have been keen though if you were closer.

Brisbane to Mount Gambier.
The bantam would do that easy.
What a great trip that would be.

 

[G0lddigg@]

exactly what i was going to say. isn't half the fun of picking up a new vehicle the ride home?

 

[k man]

I did Kalgoorlie to Perth,

to Darwin,
to Alice,
to Pt Augusta,
to Kalgoorlie,
3 month later
Kalgoorlie
to Melbourne.

On a 1969 Triumph Bonneville [ trip was 1970 -72 ] working along the way.
Most of it was dirt.

 

[MJB]

Ok...its been 3 years....but I am still keen to swap my Bantam for an SDC....BUMP!

 

[Billy]

Ok... I have a solution...

Hold onto the bike MJB, and I can use it to get around the Billy's Creek goldfields.

Fetching beers, scoping out new prospects, chasing wildlife etc, etc...

Worth a thought ay?...

 

[MJB]

haha......nice thought Billy although I do have a postie bike for such adventures. HMMMMM.... Billys' creek gold! :Y:
