BSA Gold Star 2023 We have a Problem. What to do next? 

I AGREE how did he get to pension age ?? ha ha , he nearly hit 2 cars ;;; -- made me sit up ;;

Nah, we don't ride bikes to sit behind the tin box brigade.

​​@@bananabrooks3836there is a shit load of difference between safety filtering and that suicidal manoeuvre which could so easily put him in hospital, the law of gross tonnage applies here a few hundred pounds of bike verses two ton of car! And remember every day you get home alive is another day to ride 😊

​@@kevindarkstarFreedom to act, broken white centre line.

Hi Tony, there is an explanation in another comment on this evasive move, car coming at speed from the rear 👍

That.......is a good point Wesley. Didn't consider that at all

That's a good idea Martin. I will keep that in mind 😄

Hey Larry, W800, superb retro and I understand that if looked after, they go forever 👍. See you soon 😆

Hi Ian, it is a lovely bike 👍

It is a beautiful bike - I think it's the most authentic retro on the road by that's just my thoughts 👍

@@bankruptpensioner I’ve sat on one and seen them close up. Very nice choice 👍👍

Hi Gary, keep and eye on the channel for when this gets some traction. I can then start to map out the best places to stop

Absolutely. Cars are indicating right and a myopic BP overtakes. A quote later in the video was " This Goldstar takes you to a different place ". Hospital, maybe?

Hi Mike, thanks for the comment. In context, you are correct. However, the move to the right of the red car (initially) was executed due to a vehicle coming up from behind me at speed. I felt sure that if I stayed in that position, I would have been shunted. Based on the silver vehicle coming up in the opposite direction, I took the decision to move forward as the car indicating to turn right was far enough from the junction ahead and, there was an 80% chance that the right indication was to overtake the parked up truck. Completely agree with you. But I was more concerned about being shunted from the back. 👍

@@nickarnold6204 Hi Nick, see the above response to Mike 👍

calling bs on that

Tbh mate you were literally seconds away from a world of pain and trouble, the first car OK but the estate was just a suicidal move 😳

Hey Warren, she is a looker. I am talking to BSA at the mo. Imminently is the word they used to describe the timeline for the Gold Star to come to the USA. I suspect that would be around $6300 for the bike. Time to get excited??? 😆

Hi Kevin, I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday 👍. Thanks for that bit of info 😄

I’ll try this tomorrow 👍👍

@@bankruptpensioner Mine has come on twice in first 200 mile. Been OK since. Still not had first service. Hoping its settled but if it comes on again will get update. Watch last 5 min of tec bike parts exhaust vid

Hi Steve, The link below is a vlog on why the channel is called BP. It is a future state, not a past or current state. That said, I understand your situation. In 2015/2016, I lost everything through the breakdown of a relationship which virtually left be bankrupt. I was advised at the time to claim bankruptcy of which I rightly ignored (in hindsight). To pay of debts etc, I moved to Qatar to work which allowed the debts to be paid off and savings to be achieved. Hard work, not easy work however. Moneys earned from that period allow me to buy the BSA and the Tiger and plan trips accordingly. Trust me when I say, I know where you are. Nothing worse than having to sleep in the back of the car 👎. Take a look at the video 👍. All the best Steve, and when I have 50K subscribers, I will come and help you out 👍. I guarantee that! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sdiWyTkCVWo.htmlsi=FKubCAEt5AuGla66

Hi Lee, I am trying to work with BSA to get the bike over to the US. BSA over the last week have gone quiet. I assume they do not want me to ride on US soil 😆

I emailed BSA UK the other day. Got a reply from a bike importer in the USA that they are now (at this time) doing the emission testing of the G S 650. And are setting up dealers as of now? I asked what month will it be available? Will see if they respond or not. I am going to travel by motorcycle this summer. If they don't have it here by spring at the latest, I will purchase another bike. They have had plenty of time to get the bike here. Emissions could have been done 2 years ago. No excuse as far as I am concerned. I am sick of America not getting some bikes at all, or getting the bikes 4-5 years after they have been out in Europe/India. @@bankruptpensioner

@@leehart1498 bureaucracy stops the world moving at a reasonable pace Lee. So frustrating. If BSA start to sell in the US within the next three month, then my option would be to hire a machine. That could be expensive for 6 weeks rental. Might be easier to buy one, ride it to Chicago, then sell it there. Mmmmm......need to think on this one 👍

Hi Andrew, it is a strange problem. That said, I need to recover some of the value from the bike for the next bike. Difficult as i think she is wonderful 👍

Hi Peter, thanks great advice. Recovery, and medical 👍

Hi Ken, You are right. I am trying to connect with BSA to help out on the potential trip. Have local engineers available along the route etc and maybe shippable parts as they are required. you are right in mentioned this point 👍
