Here is a couple of photos of my newest purchase.....This is a 1971 BSA mx 500cc single....we used to call these "thumpers"....Only this engine is special, it was built and raced by the motor builder "wizard" John A. Miller....John raced motorcycles in the 50's and graduated to building Grand Prix and Indy car engines for Dan Gurney and Al Unser (among others) before starting his own elite shop in Hawaii....This was his latest personal competition engine and was freshened up before going into mothballs years ago....flash into the future...John sadly passed away in 2014 and I purchased this from his widow....It is sitting on a stand he built for his beloved BSA engines.....the last photo is of John and Dan gurney going over a flow test.
