  • Here's Racing Legend Jeff Smith in his bike shop telling about his antique BSA Gold Star and others that he rode over the years. This particular cycle #4 has been unused for decades and has not been started for over 5 years. The mag was not working enough to run the bike so he took it apart and we pick up here with the parts after a StrongArm Brand over the mag and bike and in the cylinder to condition the walls and rings. He finishes cleaning the points and it then has a spark. We put it all back together and you can see the video of him getting it kicked over and then riding it about on the course he has around the shop behind the corn fields and back. The sound of the old bike is excellent as it loosens up and behaves again like it did when it was winning races 60 years ago.
