Author Message   Austexs3 Posted on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 12:15 pm:        I have an old 67 BSA Royal Star and I just noticed that BSA also offered a Thunderbolt, Lightning and a Cyclone model. Anyone know where the Buell names come from? I'm trying to trade my BSA Royal Star for a Thunderbolt so I'll have a BSA and a Buell Thunderbolt.   Kc_zombie Posted on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 12:45 pm:        No info on name origins, but if you search Buell and or Thunderbolt on FleaBay you will get a lot of BSA stuff..   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 02:22 pm:        These were airplane names to start with !!!   Lynrd Posted on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 03:09 pm:        Actually, to start with, they were names for weather phenomenon... Seriously, though, I have noticed that as well, as well as some significance of the Pegasus symbol in british motorcycling. In fact, I like the BSA "Thunderbolt" decal so much, I ordered one up for Veronica...It will look better than the scratches it covers...
