When I was 12 yo my daddy gave me a BSA 440 thumper.
Man was it hot. I could pop wheelies on it.

Careful. BB will browbeat you about the Whitworth fasteners on that
Victor
(Victim, more appropriately).

Uh... The BSA Vicctor 441 was Motocross world champ for two consecutive
years.
Looks like you are the victim!

I owned one, and it was no motorcrosser at all. It was a street bike with a
higher-than-average pipe, heavy, and lots of torque from the thumper. And
before you start whining about carbs again, mine also had a Delorto, which I
installed with a custom manifold.

And oh yeah--my metric tools worked fine on it.
