1971 BSA A65 | Pull Start | 1 Within 4-Part Series

The BSA project, later known as The Manipulated, was the catalyst for the Pareidolia Series. Built in 70 days alongside famed sculptor Michael Ulman, this bike catapulted J’s interest in intertwining her background in fine art and building custom motorcycles. The most prominent feature on this bike is the pull start. This machine fires up by literally pulling a lever created from an antique bolt cutter arm. Featuring many other Easter eggs, such as a taillight created from a Boston sewer drain and an intake manifold made from scrapped handlebars, “The Manipulated,” eventually toured the country & became a pivotal moment for J’s career in the custom motorcycle industry.
