there is a .22 BSA 'Sportsman' Single shot in the cabin. Just in case we were attacked by rabbits.

What could be more classic than a Beeza .22, certainly to the Commonwealth types who lurk here


That said what the Sam Hill is that thing, in NZ they use suitably adapted Suzuki trucks to check the lines but that is right out of the field

that is a strange looking thing and a better picture of the .22 would be good.

No sooner did than said.

The top one is my 'Sportsman' 5 and the lower the s/s.

and this shows the unfortunate habit that BSA got into of impressing 'BSA' into the butts in a big way. Very hard to get rid of.


The 'thing' is an inspection 'trike' (despite having 4 wheels)Fibre glass body and an American 'Wisconsin' single cylinder, air-cooled engine. Top allowable speed 50 K/Hr. This was taken on a clean-up trip.

I like the trike just an odd looking beast and the .22's look real nice but it does look like bsa was real proud of them to make sure every one knew who made them.
