Why I'm now supporting BSA Motorcycles 100% ‖ & BikerPics 

Hi, it's Alex here. Thanks for your help again mate! Really appreciated!

I’m shocked to hear that anyone would have a problem with someone just taking pictures, strange. I’m pleased to hear that you intervened. I trust that you and Biker Pics only meet sane people in future… the vast majority of biking folk are good people. I’ll look forward to future adventures on your Gold Star, thank you for sharing.

Another good video. Regarding the incident with BikerPic and the 'motorcyclist' consider reporting him to the Police. Threatening/abusive/assault is not acceptable. As other comment's, completely legal to film/photograph anything/anyone from a public place.🏍📷

Respect to you for sticking with the bike YOU want/like. No real enthusiast slags off somebody else's choice. I've never been into sports bikes but that doesn't mean others can't be.👍

What a terrible experience for you and the photographer, I appreciate how unsettling such events are. One of life’s more difficult experiences, you have a positive outlook and your strength of character will overcome the bad memory of it.

Well done..., just what I originally signed up for..., Motorcycles (especially BSA) and everything related to them.

Mentioning how BSA changed certain things from their original pre production units my dealer also told me that the battery was also upgraded before they started to finally import them. BSA weren't happy with their original battery choice, exactly what you said, their adapting.

Look forward to further videos on your BSA, particularly on selecting luggage.

Hi Sean, thank you kindly, friend; great topics. But, wow....beautiful machine. I saw and drooled over them at the bike show with my young son. Even he, a young sports-mad youngster, thought it looked fabulous. It even ranked, quite astonishingly, as 'cool' to a teenager, apparently! I didnt take your unveiling particularly negatively; just realistically honest. Hence, I am glad you are so evidently delighted with your purchase. It is probably just beyond my finances but still, I think, fabulous value. But only if the styling is absolutely your desire and the modern facilities(with the lack of old bike necessities, drawbacks and maintenance) are within your capacity to overlook exact original authenticity. I think most would agree that the BSA has done a sterling job of dep.oying new reliable, efficient, compliant and fuss-free technology, whilst harnessing all of the originality to satisfy most folk. You have my envy, sir! I did like the 'bit of chat...skip to some riding & sound...skip to chat...etc. Nice touch. Dont pay too much concern to passing traffic, just stop, continue and then edit out; its not as intrusive as you think, friend. OK, so violent thug attempts to threaten his way bullying a v.ogger and photographer into submission, eh? Well, lets see him(and the paranoid door-slammers) fail, almightily...I will be fi ding the online prescence of that company you mentioned, signing up to their feeds and links and taking a big interest in seeing them shared to everyone I know. I dont think(if 'Biker-Pics' are ok with it) anyone would object to you including the odd picture on your feed of their sterling work. It wou.d be nice to see that very nice bike of yours, photographed by a pro at the top of their game. Just a thought. As for the thug.....'as thee sew, so shall, thee reap, brother'; there is always someone, somewhere that is bigger and harder than you; good luck explaining your way out of your attitude when you meet them. Loo,ing forward to chec,ing out those panniers, friend. As an aside, would you consider putti g a litt.e footage of the BSA going up and down the gears and in traffic, please? I am addicted to the sounds and would love to hear the BSA flexing her revs. Also, has Suzie spent time as pillion on your BSA yet, Sean? If so, what are her thoughts as a pillion? Equally, does the low seat height make the BSA a viab.e machine for her to wznt to ride, when she pushing her training on? Oh, the name......in appreciation of our famous environmentalist that goes to all of her international seminars via private jet, rather than making environmentally-friendly 'Teams' calls'. How about Greta Goldberg?! (plenty of g's there, friend!) Take care and please extend our best wishes to your photographer friend and his colleagues at BikerPics.😮

It's good to see you getting on with the BSA, i have one with the reworked radiator guard on it. No one mentions that the bike has an immobiliser fitted as standard on this bike there are lots of nice touches on it. I see the old chestnut of it being based on a different bike produced by classic legends is still trotted out, yet if you look at pictures of said bike it is clearly evident that the frame, clocks, tank, forks etc are different.

Very well done. I dread to think what could’ve happened to the photographer had you not stopped to offer some assistance. Just your presence on the scene may have just been enough to stop Andy getting seriously hurt. Well done 👍

Disgusting behaviour from that biker 😡 Hope yr okay mate🙏 So glad yr loving the BSA Sean 👍

Very interesting video, Sean. There's no expectation of privacy when out in public, cameras capture you and people look at you. Maybe the biker was a shrinking violet.

Morning Sean, most of the roadside photographers I have come across, have signs before the locations, in both directions. If people don’t want their photo taken, then a simple thumb down would be sufficient. That particular guy is obviously just a sad, angry person looking for a vent………and unfortunately it was you and the photographer who got it this time. The law of averages say, he will vent to the wrong person one day, and maybe learn from that 🤞. Glad you are enjoying the Goldie, nice video my friend.

I support you too on promoting this unique and beautiful british bike, not that is now owned by Indian firm mahindra like RE but by the fact that it stays true to its legacy unlike triumph that diverted long ago. This is the bike which I love to keep clean and showoff and leisurely ride on weekends on bigger highways, for other daily errands in busy Indian city, Hunter 350 is unbeatable.

That's quite an over-reaction to the photographer! Perhaps the voices in that man's head were telling him something untoward was going on !? 😮

I tested the same BSA as you from Midwest Moto and thought it was a very nice bike to ride . I understand It was actually based on a 350 that was already sold in India so not really a ground up creation , more a cosmetic exercise with a bigger engine squeezed into the frame ( not quite fitting the narrative the company go with ) I hope they do well too , I certainly enjoyed riding it and the engine and box are well proven . Can't agree with you about the warning lights in the headlamp though, I'm shorter than you so that may be a factor but I found them impossible to see clearly All the best with yours, really hope you have a good experience with it👍 ...BTW I know Worcester well I went to Kings School as a lad , lovely City .

Shame you and the photographer had that bad experience. All I personally would sort with that stunning bike is the location of the USB. Good to have, but just needs hiding? Safe travels buddy👍

Interesting I had not given it much thought but to it but I suppose these days taking pic's of people could be a dodgy thing to do if they aren't expecting it since you never know what reaction you might get in todays society . I believe you were right to stop to see what was going on and applaud you for it too . The jacket looks pretty good and I think you got a very good bargain there , did it come with a thermal liner too as I have seen them but they were around £99 .I like the Gold Star and if it were a twin I would certainly be interested in it although that would probably change the whole character of the bike . Good watch cheers Sean 👌👍

Glad you both safe, but next time don't be afraid to call the police this usually will de-escalate everything. Once they start threatening you or damaging your property, tell them you are calling the cops. It is best not to reason with idiots and especially a person who's mind is already clouded with judgement.

Apparently the valve clearance check is 48 months or 14500 miles, which is a bonus!

The rack spoils the lines of the bike. Just like the one I had on my XT500 did when I was young. Good choice of bike, though. I like the idea of a 650cc single. I bet the Scrambler will be very desirable. Nick J

Well Sean What a twat that biker guy was use have something to hide 😮 I’ve subscribed to them now and will see where they are brilliant 😊😊 Really glad your enjoying the BSA Look forward to seeing the panniers on I may get the pannier brackets next spring but will probably get the panniers from Matt at Classic rides Great stuff Will now check out your videos I’ve missed been as I’m off today Great work 😊😊😊 Phil

Sorry to hear about your altercation with that idiot, does he not realise we are all being watched 24/7. l have been captured several times by road side picture takers and have ordered some great photos of me and the wife out and about.

I can’t help myself, what kind of bike was the angry guy riding? 😂 I’m glad it didn’t escalate further, but it’s a shame it got out of control. Biker Pics may need to adjust how they function in an effort to avoid this sort of thing if it’s happening frequently.

A lot of tension these days I’m afraid. Someone laying hands on your property should mean police involvement in my opinion. Someone making a living out of their love of bikes is a great thing. Now ULEZ cameras and vans are a TOTALLY different thing 😂

How bizarre that anyone should get so wound up by a person taking photographs.

i was a hater ,, mainly because people kept harping on about the british comeback ,,, what a load of tosh , ,, anyway - the bike is sorted out better as time goes by which is a good thing ,, i just hope people can wake up and see that this bike is a mixture of indian , italian , french canadian , austrian , and probably some japenese , NOT some old british junk , i wish it did not have silly union flags on it ;;; glad you are enjoying it ;;

I guess the angry biker had something to hide for not wanting his photo taken. Probably on benefits or banned from riding. Disgusting behaviour.

I wouldn't say three hundred sales is anything to be proud of , when you compare it to the interceptor and continental gt original sales . I actually think bsa lost a hell of alot of business with the time it took to get the bikes to dealers. It Left a bad taste in some people's mouths. It's still very early days for bsa , can they turn it around , time will tell.

After all that, you didn’t say much about the bike!

These days infringement of privacy, real or perceived, is a big thing. While I don't agree with the reaction of this guy, I can understand some not being happy about having pictures taken deliberately without permission. Perhaps the photographers could avoid the problem if they put up a sign saying something like 'Honk or Flash if you want a picture'. I considered the Goldstar but in the end went for a Bullet 500. Cheers, Mick

Unbelievable behaviour. Really no excuse for that.
