Been Around the Block
Hello all, have just bought this bike and not sure wether to start this thread here or in the café racer section?
Its a 1957 Gold Star and I bought it from a guy who purchased it in 1961, fitted all the Taylor Dow bits and then a little later the triumph engine, since then its been raced on and off until a year or so ago but not been on the road since he first bought it!
I was thinking at first I'd re fit a Gold star motor but it seems a shame to part an engine and frame that's been together so long...
My plan now is to do any rebuilding needed, keep it in the same style but add mudguards, maybe lights....and definitely a kickstart...so it can be used on the road again...I think, for now at least its racing days are over!
