I bought a Gold Star 500 in 1973 from the last shipment to be delivered to Australia. What a disaster bike it was. It shook itself to pieces and the much lauded oil in frame did a great job of getting oil all over the battery when draining the top frame tube, the battery cover shorted out on the terminal, the kick starter turned to mush and to top it off it seized solid at 11,500 miles at which time I put it in the shed for a number of years prior to finding someone in Melbourne, which was far enough away, to buy it. Good riddance.
The technique of blending one paragraph into another is extremely annoying. Better to cover a little in the preview well than mess up a much of things. But it looks like a great dvd.
I own both a '71 b25ss and a '71 b50ss and both of them are a joy to ride especially when the start is optimised by electronic ignition.

An interesting subject, but very bitty, not much detail about the bikes.
Hi can you put a b50 engine in a b25 frame
The voice over overlap is annoying
I wrote a BSA 500 for Larry Smith out of Milpitas I love that bike it would get me out of the hole every time 98 U
