You can tell how much Kenny is enjoying this bike by the amount of drive pasts he does. Doesn't want to get off the thing! Can't blame him

I love the vintage stuff....especially the British bikes. It's kinda crazy how many quality motorcycle brands came out of England back in the early days of motorcycling up through the 60's and 70s. Triumph, BSA, Norton, Ariel, AJS, Matchless, Sunbeam, Royal Enfield, Velocette, Brough Superor, Vincent, etc. In the US we had Harley and Indian.

@trevormac630 Год назад

How true your comment is . I grew up surrounded by all those old British bikes. But i still think the Harley Davidson set the trend for the choppers and the Hells angels and the rest of the world ,just followed. Isn't it sad that now we can't make anything decent here in the UK

I had a BSA Gold Flash 650cc in the '60s, I bought it from a breakers yard for £10 and rode it home. It had a sidecar chassis attached to it. It was a beast I loved it. I restored it and used it every day until it was stollen by a neighbour and he wrapped it around a tree.

@Patriot-up2td Год назад

DAMN! Now that thing sounds like a real bike! What a sweet find Kenny!

It's 70 years old, lovely condition, mine is a 1959 a10 64 years old, they are superb bikes, truly top level engineering.

Nothing quite like a 360 crank British twin. They all were sublime. The Dommie 7 is my personal favourite from that era.

@peter7624 5 месяцев назад

A10's, Golden Flash, Road Rocket, Star Twin etc. are all great bikes. Powerful, flexible engines, great handling bikes, which sound fantastic. Glad to see your'e enjoying this blast from the past which is in excellent condition. Great video,as always.

@sonnyseabury4051 Год назад

Cool looking vintage bike. Amazing that it's still around. Even more amazing that it looks and runs that good. Looks like a bike that somebody like James Dean would ride.

Purrs like a kitten and has stood the test of time. Today my local classic motorcycle club was out riding and put on a mini convention, there were a couple of beatiful classic BSA's just love these bikes.

Another amazing bike. I had a chance to buy one in the mid eighties for $400.00 that looked very pretty just like this one.

@volksquadman Год назад

Wow , cant believe my stepdad offered me one of these in 85 for nothing but i was only interested in my Ktm 500 and 76 Xt500 both long gone!, he gave it away to some mates who knew better! i thought the Golden Flash was an old junker covered in grease! Respect to the manic mechanic. Godbless to all.

@oldasdihrt5993 Год назад

Being tall has been kind of a blessing, but not when it comes to old bikes. I know that you know what I mean.

@fossy4321 9 месяцев назад

This machine looks just like my 1950 plunger A10 apart from the rear light is different, runs really smooth as I had the crank dynamically balanced when I rebuilt it. As you said it pulls like a train even though I put the correct sprockets for solo use on.

@paulqueripel3493 4 месяца назад

Just one thing, plungers were available till 1957, as an option (mostly for sidecar users). At least in the UK. The reason parts were hard to find? Dad had most of them😊 his shed had everything, enough to build several bikes from bits, apart from frames.

@trevormac630 Год назад

I love your videos, as they are so well presented and with so much fine detail given and your honest opinion. My favourite video's you cover are on Honda CB550 4 and CB750 from the seventies. This video has been awesome on such a great old British bike, which are just becoming memories. Great job Kaplan❤

@chrisreynolds3204 Год назад

BSA, both pistols move in unison but fire at different times? Really nice specimen.

@EarthSurferUSA Год назад

If so, that would mean as the pistons both approach top dead center, one would be on the compression stroke and the other would be on the exhaust stroke.

@glengerdes4158 Год назад

Nothing sounds like a vertical 360 crank twin!

@marktatum2592 Год назад

I am 63 years old, born in 1960. That BSA was born in 1953, that would make her 70 years old. We all can only hope to look and run that good at that 70!
