    Found the Goldstar just like this about a year ago. The previous owner passed away after having the tank done, the mag rebuilt and locating a matching (series) numbers frame in addition to many parts. This will be a rider like the Vincent. Can't show um off if they sit in the garage!

    Great to see all these non standard Brit bikes. I'm sick to death of over restored gold stars and silver 850 interstate commandos it's nice to see some of the less glamorous machines getting some attention.

    Thanks, FR700 ... here's another, coasting down from Dante's View on my 1973 Tiger ... Kalle took this pic from his '48 Indian ... the AMCA was having a coasting "race" ... needless to say, the park rangers thought we were scofflaws ... ha.

    There's a ride report and more pics, here.

    See you around the campfire,
