Very nice.  Simple. Lean. Clean.

The front end reminds me of the, what were they called,
HydraGlides?  The old Harleys?
Def sets the thing off.

That seat came right off a 60s Schwinn bicycle.
We called them Banana Boats.

The paint, the chrome, hell the exhaust is almost a work of art.  

I dunno tho.  
As nice as that thing is, Fat2s beezer detailed out imho tops it.
Why?
2 things.  
1. Fat2s is a runner.
2nd. The frame. As nice as the above bike is,
the frame is somewhat, I dunno, harsh, maybe chunky
looking.
Fat2s, with the arcing rear frame tubes just sets his bike off.
It’s like everything flows with the above bike, everything but the frame.

On a scale of 10, me calls an 8.
For the 2 reasons mentioned.

Which kinda reminds me of the real early BMWs.
I have some pics somewhere of a few of them at a vintage show. I’ll try to find them.
Hard tails, black with white trim, I dunno, 1920s or 30s.
Heavy kinda Art Deco looking things.

Beautiful they are.

Motorcycles are like women and some dogs,... ment to be kicked!

That is a good looking Trumpet. I do have to say when it comes to bling that Trumpet has the Beezer beat but I like the Beezer motor better. Not as busy as that Trumpet.

I've not road the Beezer for sometime. There is a lot of oil coming out of the crankcase vent tube and compression is down. A new top end is needed.

Yesterday I spotted a set of jugs freshly bored .02, painted, with new pistons and rings ready to go together on Marketplace that are for a '67. I'm thinking about just nabbing those up instead of redoing what I have.

Either way . I never had that  oil issue on that bike , but other bsa I did . It’s not uncommon. Some folks use some type of check valve . But if it’s been sitting and not run for a while that seems to be part of it

Fat2 make sure those barrels fit your crankcase . I don’t recall the particulars but there was a change.

they changed the bolt spacing barrel to the crankcases. i dont know off hand the year.

Man I couldn’t find those pics on those old beemers.
Could take a month to organize half the pics and vid’s I’ve got.

Anyways………the 1929 BMW.

Thanks. I’ll check the bolt spacing when I get a chance.
The ad says they are 67 jugs. I just assumed that since the motor I have is a 67 it would be a direct bolt on.

Then you are good to go!

That’s a bit of a stretch imho.
Yes both bikes have round wheels.
But I suppose whatever reminds whomever of whatever is what it is.

I mean it’s a great BMW.
But aside from a slight resemblance in the shape of the tank , I don’t see a big resemblance beyond being a basic motorcycle.
