Hi Ashley Was a mad tester at BSA Have sent you my current email address erc in Aussie Cheers Joe brown Did you look at Lou Dalbys Pics on Flickr yet ?????????
jd,i don,t know how bsa dealt with disgruntled clients but i do know how triumph cars under BL did.when the complaints about the triumph stag reached a crescendo from america all american agencies were told to include "barrs radleak" in their pre-delivery service.Thanks perrybarrpest, that is a classic old video from the 1950's, very enjoyable.
I'm hoping that someone who worked in the service dept. in 1967 will share their memories. Louis Dalby had commented (link below) about large numbers of bikes being returned from the USA, it would be nice to have some insight to how the service dept. handled them.
