Not exactly desirable but It hasn't got "suspension", that makes it at least twice as good as 75% of the Apollos in this world.
Deserves Klein like attention. Full nut and bolt rebuild. Extensive polishing. Then ride approximately 100 yards a year to the Ice cream van and back, only if it's dry and the humidity's less than 50%, obviously being extremely careful with errant 99 drips.
Or sort it and ride it. Maybe pass it on to someone skint and in need.

LOL, leave the Reichsfuehrer out of this discussion. BTW not sure about the obsession with who was a chicken farmer, as I'm sure some talking heads from the other side qualified for this moniker. What is certain is that he got whacked whilst in English custody to save some people from embarrassment later on.

Interesting bike.
The history of BSOs shouldn't be ignored.
Doesn't mean you should like them though.
But if it was there at a meet in the park, we'd all want to ride it up and down the tarmac,
For a laugh
For nostalgia
For a sense of the end of the market we don't collect.
Keep it original though

Been away for a few days, ..............Thanks for all the replies, ..........personal opinions & tastes are a wonderful thing, Future Collectables are driven by supply & demand, so the shit that no one cares about & ends up down the tip becomes very scarce. Its with this in mind im hoping my Apollo in about 20 years time might be worth £20.50p
