Don't take my word for it, just ask my wife! I'd love a WLA, but, my Sportster 883 cruises 66 just fine. I’m a 43 year old teenager. Don’t take my word for it, just ask my wife!

I think in part is its a work bike from a generation who knew how to work, and banded together to a common goal. The WLA seemed to be an icon of that. Hah, now that I think on it, who am I kidding... I'm a 41 year old 12 year old who just wants to play army! thats probably more accurate. I don’t know what it is either.

Hard to find old BSA's in the states. People who own em know what they have and don't give em up too often. Gorgeous bikes! both great bikes.

I don't know what it is, but I just love those things. There’s just something about the WLA 45 that gets me, too. I don’t know what it is, but I just love those things.

I sat on a WLA for tyhe first time at the Harley Museum in Milwaukee last October (what a fantastic place!) and it felt great. But I really would have loved a go on an XA (the flat twin BMW copy)!
