1915 BSA “Model K” Flat Tank Motorcycle with Incredible WW 1 Story
Thank you to all the Men & Women who have and are serving in the Armed Forces!
Thank you to George Cole for bringing out and sharing his story about this beautiful 1915 BSA "Flat Tank" Motorcycle.
BSA, stands for “Birmingham Small Arms Company LTD. The company was founded in 1861. The company was in the business of manufacturing “Fire Arms”. In 1903 the company decided to set up a motorcycle division and in 1910 they produced their first model. BSA was a major contributor to the war effort with their fire arms and other amenities including the motorcycle.
The “Flat Tank” design started in 1914 and lasted through 1923.
The “Flat Tank” was powered by a 557 cc, single cylinder air-cooled, four stroke engine with a three speed manual transmission.
Listen to George’s story as he tells how the bike works and how it was used in WW1 to carry correspondence and “Carrier Pigeons” to the front line.

WW1 started in 1914 , The USA inter the war in 1916 I believe , The Britts was loosing the war and asked for help . The USA had vary little to offer but men and a few ships . We all took a pounding from the Germans and the Gemans had their poundings to . The great tanks came into play during this war . The likes that no one ever seen . This frighten the Germans when one showed up on the field . The big draw back to these tanks besides all the michanical fauls is the mine fields and the bombed crators . The tank would get stuck . I am not say the tanks was usless . As they blow out thick black smoke from the crude engine and an evil look and size . The foot man had fear of them being crushed by the tracks or mowed down buy the guns . By 1916 the USA inters the war . The would be pilots have to be tested and train to fly , We did not a war plan of our own so many pilots flew the English , Spanish and French planes . Many of the US pilots was shot down for not having the skills of an airman . By 1918 the war was ending or at the end , The Germans had lost . We as Americans we soon caught up in advancements and so did Eroupe . Even the Germans work the hardest for what they had left after the war . Adulf Hitler joined up at the first onset of WW1 . He was assigned to the front line as a courier . Hitler was wounded once with shrapnel and again caused be GAS . Hitler earned two Iron Crosses for his duty to Gemany . The 2nd cross was recomended by a Jewish Officer in 1918 . If anyone heard Hitler speeches and in translation in English you could see why so may people believed him this including JEWS . Something made Hitler to hate Jews . This sick rumor came from the Britts or Russia . I just cant pin that down right now . A lot of Hitler speeches is right if anyone hear the translations . One thing Hitler served his country . That is a lot more than people like Donald Trump and even Donald Trump him self could say . Donald Trump haritage are full of cowards .
