Steve White is evidently quite a determined individual. He journeyed to Italy to collect an exact replica of the 1962 Bianchi 175 he had ridden as a learner in the late 1960s and in the process also bought the magnificent wartime BSA you see here. Then, pushing 70 years old, he took the necessary training and a couple of months ago at the time of writing, finally passed his motorcycle test so that he can ride his bikes!
