BSA Goldstar description

 .  This has been my go to old bike, since I got the bike in 2005. Selling to give more attention to some project bikes I have.  Strong motor, charging system 12v, always been a bit weak. Could use some new tires. .080 over on the piston, vibrates, but smooths out over 70mph (only had it up to about 80 once, still a lot left).  Magneto getting a bit weak, tricky to start when fully warmed up(usually retard the spark about half way, but when hot just a little).  Hasn't gotten bad enough to rebuild, did buy a condenser, but not installed. It has always had slight grind of teeth when shifting to first(when cold from neutral, first shift to second then down to first works best).  Took a little off road excursion a few years ago on a bumpy decreasing radius corner, went down an embankment, thought I was okay until the footpeg dug in and tipped me over.  Kept on the ride that day, but Handlebars bent back and dented the tank, front fender tip bent.  Replaced the bars and took dent out on tank and spot painted black, also same on front fender tip.  Leaks some oil, drip pan used in garage, and wipe down after rides.  Actual mileage unknown. eng. number ZB34GS2322. California registration expires 8/12/2016. No Reserve.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.
