I had 441 BSA for some years. It was lovely to ride and I still regret selling it. It proved totally reliable but did have two problems: too cramped to take a passenger. And oil consumption which varied wildly for no apparent reason (it did not leak at all).

This is forum member Bengt Phorqs' 1968 Triumph 25W. Note the strong similarity to livingdeadhead's 1970 Beezer.
Yep, that's my project bike.  Well one of them anyhow, but the Husky 410 is another matter.  Mine is a TR25W, the 250cc scrambler.  IF I can ever get Mr. Lucas, the good buddy of darkness, to cooperate I'll get that sucker running again.  The neat thing is the 250 Triumph, actually made by BSA, shares the same everything with the Victor 441 except the top end.  Once I finish this assignment in Romania I'll get focused on getting her running again.

acyually the bottom end is different , i looked into uprating mine to a 440 but it really hard work , i think it's possible but its cheaper to just buy a engine .:-( apparently theres only 4 hp more but loads more torque and funnily the 250 is slightly faster? about 3 mph lol .
