Would YOU have had a BSA Bantam when you could have had this!! doh Nuff sed 'bout Sir Bernard I think

G


wash your mouth out!
that "thing" looks totally gay to say the least.
comfortable seat, controls at your fingertips, build quality to beat a Bentley in the dark. Colours to make you get wet pants in the snow,BUT.......
BSA bantams were quality of their type at that point in time. I owned one, a little green thing with a pathetic 123cc engine, even more pathetic brakes that took herculean strength to apply, solid rear frame that made your bum sore even on a ride down to the shops for Mum.
Yes it says it all, Beeza bantams rock and if lady Docker had owned one it would have has mink seats, gold plated handle bars and gold larmie foot rests.
Here endith my case for British supremacy over Japanese guccichness.... speakno

She says: "A baggy green cap and an Australia cricket shirt

great stuff
you had the best team who knew how to field and throw a ball.
I think that blaming just one man is barmy to say the least.
He is one part of a team and the team were crap.

Some say that they were paid to throw the match and all get a nice bonus at the end (a la pakistan style) true or false?
we will never know, but just check up on the cars they drive next year and where they live carrot

Maybe in a few year time, with some promising young players coming on the game will change.
Thats just what happened to the English side, great young players and no one saw them coming on the Aussie side. Its a see saw of experience and abilityThis time Australia was caught napping and paid the price, next year or two..... well we will see what comes out of the woodwork.... laugh2
