I'm Dan Harlock, and this is Club BSA.
I have a BSA A65, it's registered as a 1965, and it's kind of a compilation of parts.
The bottom end is a Hornet, which is like an off-road racing bike,
and then the top end is a Thunderbolt, which is like a single carb, just a simple top end.
And it took me about eight months to build it, with a lot of hang-ups.
What made you want to build it?
Well, I've always wanted to build a chopper, and then once I got into these guys,
I got to get a British bike. I'm going to work at a British shop, so I just started collecting parts for the first couple months.
Jason gave me the front end of the frame, and then I welded on the hard tail, and went from there.
How'd you get into the shop, like working here in the shop?
I kind of just beasled my way, and I feel like I just kept coming by, because we were living at Dennis's storage unit,
and just started hanging out with them, and I had some basic knowledge of bikes,
and I started kind of helping them here and there a little bit, and told them I'd work for them for free.
And I worked for them, just kind of as an apprentice or an intern, whatever you want to call it, for about two months.
And then they started like, paying me for the bikes that I would work on, and they got out of just working here.

We need you to decide you weren't a skateboarder but a motorcyclist.
Oh, dude, well, it was when I discovered boots, baby.
