No, I object. The BSA is the Business Software Alliance, who's goal is
to prevent software piracy around the world. It is made up of such
small, unknown companies like Dell, Microsoft, Autodesk, Adobe, IBM,
Intel, Intuit, Novell, Symantec, Eds.... (Just to name a few)
Of course, I am kidding.... And I'm sure the Business Software Alliance
had nothing to do with the original bost.
Thanks

In fact, BSA=Birmingham Small Arms, a rifle company.
Rickman built a wonderful frame for the British Bikes. Triumph is one
of the best handling bikes I ever owned but by far my favorite was a

I hate to disagree, but I must.
BSA was a British m/c builder, while Rickman was only a frame builder,
who used BSA/Triumph/Norton engines and such. Rickman had a model with a
Triumph engine called the Metisse. Might that be what you are thinking?
Montessa IIRC was a Spanish company. BSA=Triumph=Norton. Later,
NortonVilliersTriumph, aka NVT.
