BSA A65 Lightning Clubman 15 mile test ride with occasional commentary. 

With enough of the required work already done and just a few small items left to attend to, I seized an ideal opportunity for a test ride in bright, dry and fairly warm conditions, where the roads were mostly dry after a good wash from rain which took most of the road salt away. It had to be done! I was also rather pleased with how this machine ran, performed and handled, although later models had much more effective front brakes!
