Voilà quelque chose qui me semble être nouveau sur le site : Le derny. Très connu des amateurs de la "petite reine", sur piste comme sur route (Bordeaux-Paris ou vice-versa). Pour l'anecdote, la scène a été tournée dans le stade Darragon à Vichy, ville où je réside actuellement. La tribune que l'on voit et où j'ai usé mes fonds de culotte à suivre les matchs du R.C.V. rugby, n'existe plus, remplacée par une autre plus moderne. Souvenirs, souvenirs... Hi Jun ! What do you think about the "Derny" ? If I am a Derny...May be I can't resist my sudden acceleration impulse Après quelques recherches, il apparait que Derny est une marque. Je référence donc celui-ci comme tel, en attendant de savoir si c'est bien cette marque. Si confirmation il y a, ce sera une nouvelle marque. BSA A7 or A10 (1954-1958) From the engine and side cover shape, it's BSA. And year is guessed from knee-grip rubber position (at the side of tank) . About this derny cycle, there are two possibilities. 1. converted into derny use 2. converted by special maker I searched 'BSA' & 'derny', but can't find special maker... sample picture http://www.beesa.de/assets/images/BSA_A7SS_1957.gif http://www.motosolvang.com/bike_windows/1958_bsa2.html and 'Derny' motorcycle http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~pattle/nacc/arc0266.htm

BSA a twin and surely a 650 Golden Flash

It's a 497cc A7, probably 1950. When the Golden Flash was launched in that year it was finished in gold, with distinctive badge and tank detail. I rescued some parts from an incomplete earlier 495cc A7, dumped in the woods near Banstead in the early 1960s, and have its original black toolbox still. My 1951 Golden Flash, MGP 632, I rescued for £5 from Lombard Wharf in 1965 (in the nick of time) hitched to a Watsonian c/a sidecar. The outfit was in its original black finish and I restored bike and sidecar accordingly. As with the first gold-finished machines the tank badge actually featured a red flash, possibly hand finished.

[guess] BSA A7 Shooting Star (1958-) Front fender is shallow, and the color is same to the body. And full width brake drum painted in such an arrangement of color seems from 1958. for reference : A10 picture (A10 has deeper front fender than A7) http://www.ianchadwick.com/motorcycles/w650/a10a.gif

..gold star?

It is a twin so it is either an A7 500 or an A10 650 from the late 1950s up to about 1961. There was a Rocket Gold Star twin but this isn't one. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/bsa/bsa_a7%2061.htm

BSA with 2 in 1 exhaust (350?) I owned a 650 Spitfire 650. Rims seems to be from Borrani (alu).

It is an A series twin either A7 or A10.

Britain's Best Drives EP: 6

Described as a 1961. The only direct shot I could recognise of this one, but it's in this line-up ... and part of the convoy which accompanies the Bentley from Brig o'Turk, as described here. That's an A7/A10 motor.

Probably the one fourth from left in the thumb.

BSA, probably an A7, early to mid 1950s, unfortunately the saddlebags obscure the rear suspension making it difficult to date.

BSA twin A7 or A10 It appears to have plunger rear suspension so is 1950 or later. Registration NUU 628 if it can be dated.

NUU 628 = London, April-July 1953.

BSA encore? Là aussi, 500 A7 ou 650 B33... another A7 or A10 Golden Flash (1954-57) Older plunger rear suspension model.

The name Golden Flash was only used for the 650cc A10 model. The 500cc A7 was the Star Twin or Shooting Star.

Same model? (01:03:04) xxxx RD 75 is a plate number from the first half of 1965. If genuine. BSA?

BSA yes. Maybe A7 rather than A10 from the small front brake? I see from the thumb pic that they have plunger rear suspension so date is late 1940s/early 1950s - not later than 1954. I don't think we can see enough detail to determine whether or not they are from pre 1949 redesign or after.

Looks like a BSA twin, did the French police run Beezers? Often we saw police Triumphs in old French movies, but BSAs, I don't remember... /vehicle_767096-BSA-A7.html Gendarmerie on A7's, can I claim this as an A7 please?

Sure you can. I recently saw a motorcycle movie that you'll like, will upload pictures soon!
