Welcome to the Canterbury B.S.A. Motorcycle Owners Club Inc New Zealand
The Canterbury B.S.A. Owners Club was originally proposed on the 10th of May 1979 at a public meeting called by the late Mr Clarrie Haines, who was astounded by the 60 B.S.A. owners and enthusiasts who attended the meeting. The club was formed and Clarrie Haines was voted in as the first President. In 1980 the club became an incorporated body.
Since that time the club membership has remained stable, with some of the current members having been present at that first meeting in 1979.
The principle object of the club is to keep alive the BSA marque, and assist those who own BSA motorcycles, cars or powerplants.
Members of the club have at their disposal an extensive library of workshop manuals, parts books and service bulletins as well as general interest books on BSA and the history of BSA.
A club Newsletter called "THE WINGED WHEEL" is published bi-monthly in the first half of the month. Members are able to advertise in the magazine at no cost. A deadline for articles and advertisements is the end of the month prior to publication.

The Canterbury BSA Owners Club is devoted to keeping BSA motorcyles on the road today.
Although the factory never envisaged that their bikes would still be operating happily after 50 years, they are.
We intend to keep this going for as long as we are able, and welcome you to join the fun.
Our club members also own other bikes, some of which are slightly more 'modern', but we know why we came here, and we are still firmly attached to our roots.
The BSA was a formative machine in the early history of British motorcycles and was exported around the world.
We still honour that.
