That is a magnificent BSA Golden Flash. Someone has taken extraordinary care in restoring and assembling this bike and it shows. You can be proud of that, it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. From Australia
Bought a 1962 Model Golden Flash from George Brown, he bought in 1961 new from BSA for a chap who emigrated from Stevenage to Australia, my good luck! It had a VG21A sidecar Chassis fitted with a Rankin D/A sidecar - weighed a ton! Traded it in for a brand new Hillman Imp in 1964 - The salesman had the cheek to ask if the bike had been rechromed, it was just like it came from the showroom.
Best bike I ever rode and I have ridden many. Mine was a 1954 plunger frame fitted with a Chair. I can still recall the engine, carb, magneto and alternator numbers!
I had an A10 in the 1970's, when no one loved them any more. Cost me £130. I'd like another, but I think it would cost a bit more these days. Still riding bikes though. Currently own a 20 year old Honda ST1100. Runs great, but has no soul.
Ahh...British bikes...BSA, Triumph, etc... They had to kicked several times before they would start, and sometimes they wouldn't start no matter how many times they were kicked. They vibrated until even your teeth became numb.... Their electrical systems were shockingly unreliable, pun intended. They leaked oil onto the showroom floor just sitting there. They had underwhelming horsepower for their engine sizes because of their obsolete overhead valves and pushrods design. But they were very good at one thing... ...they showed the Japanese how not to make motorcycles, so Japanese bikes: Had:electrical starters. None of that kicking crap. Did not vibrate Had electrical systems that were totally reliable Did not leak oil, even after doing thousands of miles Had overhead cams and produced more hp per cc than their British bikes. Ahhh...British bikes...BSA, Triumph, etc.
