Gold Star finished

This is the little DBD34 Gold Star we got from Buzz.  She needed a fair bit of work but is finished now and runs great.  You can get everything you need to keep these little bikes on the road forever.  I’m very pleased with how she turned out.

BSA Gold Star West Coast

This old BSA came from friend Buzz Walneck, not through his magazine, it’s one of his own bikes.  These bikes were shipped to the USA dealers direct from the factory with the high bars, larger 190mm brake, the STD gearbox instead of the RR an RRT types, and the Westerner seat. They are not that common even in the US and I have never seen one in the UK (there must be some).  This is not the Catalina scrambler.

It will need some work but I will keep its old road worn look.  Not so sure about the red paint though.
