BSA Empire Star and M24 Gold Star

BSA M24 Gold Star Specialist, Mr George Wander's machines. The Empire Star is the faithful re-creation of the BSA's works machine ridden by Walter Handley at Brooklands and he achieved the legendary 'Gold Star Badge'. And this M24 Gold Star is the 2nd production machine ever built by BSA in amazing unrestored condition and George has been riding the gem. I did 2 pages article of his Empire Star in the latest, special edition of Lightning magazine in Japan 'My Favorite Vintage'. I shot this photo at Brooklands when the biggest Gold Star gathering was held and I was with my beloved Goldie.

His name may sound familiar to you as Rick made an article about him in Classic Bike mag also Mr James Robinson also did in The Classic Motorcycle mag.

BSA Gold Star 台風前のひとっ走り

台風直前のひとっ走り。いよいよ降ってきましたね〜。目の良い方には「これスタジアムのミラーじゃない」と突っ込まれるかもしれませんが、これは昔乗っていたW650に使用していた時のミラー。当時モノじゃなくても、自分のフットプリントが感じられるので気に入っています。

Had a morning blast before one of the biggest typhoons in this year struck!

End of the summer... but still difficult to remember how cold the snow is!
