With the Sun setting over the Sacramento River , Little Red with Gerald Mauricio's BSA Gold Star Walter Handley lapped the Brooklands Circuit at over 100 miles; "the Ton"- and for this he was awarded the traditional gold star. BSA produced a new model; the Gold Star in 1937, the following year. The legendary and very desirable machine was produced for 25 years. Our example is one of the last iterations - the 1956 model DBD34. 500cc. This one, built for competition by Dick Mann, has CanAm forks/ front brake. Custom aluminum gas tank & oil tank. BTH ignition. Starts first kick. Love racing it. Neutral feel. Gobs of torque. |
This shoot took place at the CZ World Championship weekend in April 2019. Looking west upon the Sacramento River, Marysville California.
