1956 BSA Gold Star DBD34 (499cc single) kickback and start-up. This is Lana's first time starting Dave's BSA Gold Star. Full credit to her too, on the day she started every Gold Star we had in the workshop! The Goldie kicks back if it's not slightly over top dead centre before you kick it. In the video you can see Dave get the bike just over compression and ready for Lana to give it a good kick! Location is Michell's Classics workshop, East Sussex, UK. Lana Shimmin.

We recently tore down the 1959 BSA Gold Star DBD34 (499cc single cylinder engine). The bike had the RRT2 gearbox and in this video you'll see it being run through the gears. We're producing a full length limited series on this bike on our second YouTube channel if you'd like to immerse yourself in the restoration. This video is an excerpt from part one. Mechanic in shot is Dave Mitchell. Location is Dave's Mitchell's Classics workshop, East Sussex, UK. Video by Alex Rollings. Instagram: @motofil
