BSA Gold Star.

About 10 years ago (or so) there was a BSA owners gathering at the Daytona infield during the vintage races at bike week. This was back when they did it on a weekend instead of squeezing it in on a Mon/Tue so the turnout was fantastic. Anyway I remember being stopped in my track when I saw them gathered. All those chrome tanks and polished cases made for quite an impressive sight. Plenty of proud owners to go with the. If I ever get the urge to “go British” BSA would definitely make my short list. Maybe a Gold Star or maybe a Victor. But it’d definitely be a single.

Stunning 1967 BSA 500 Scrambler.

The photo is very large. I usually reduce them a bit but the detail is stunning. Thanks to regular contributor Dave Innola for forwarding this on. The bike belongs to John Court who took it on a nice journey:

Hello Boys,a great run out today on the Scrambler (1957 BSA 500) I did the 100 mile Eskdale which basically takes in the steepest banks in the area & the North Yorks moors. About 90 entries in all cars & bikes. Was having a great time then for the 1st time in a long time I ‘overcooked’ it on an uphill bend, no one else to blame but I ended in a ditch…..like slow motion & a definate wake up call! Thankfully no major damage & with the help of two other riders got the bike sorted & completed the run. There was one skidmark just before the bend & the other just after which will hopefully come out in the wash! Will give the bike a good check over tomorrow ready for another run.

Cheers Jon
P.S Can confirm now that Adrenaline is brown!

Some Great BSA rally pics from regular contributor Ted Guthrie!

Ted sent me these a while back. Not sure how they got past me in my E-mail. Sorry about that Ted. Some real beauties in there. I’ve always wanted a Victor (not to mention a ROKON!) and that’s a beauty for sure.

Hi, Steve. We had our summer BSA meet this weekend. Here are a few shots of some interesting bikes seen there. Note the “raffle” bike. Anyone can take a shot at it, for just five bucks! Go to the OVBSAOC website for more info.
