What started as a bad day, badly spraining my ankle on a run, turned out quite good when I decided to take the bike to Snetterton and see what was going on. £13 pound entry told me something decent was on, and with a 3 hour team event not long away, it was right. The first bikes I have shot with the new Nikon/Sigma combo, and very pleased. I keep falling more in love with that DoF.

Probably the most sought after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late 50s early 60s. This classic 1958 DBD34 was tested at the factory on the 24th April 1958 and despatched to dealers Comerfords of Thames Ditton on the 8th May, being first registered for the road a couple of weeks later, built to Clubman specification, fitted with an Amal GP carburettor
The 500 cc DBD34 was introduced in 1956, with clip-on handlebars, the same big finned alloy engine with a newly designed head,38 mm ( 1 1/2" ) bell-mouth Amal carburettor and swept-back exhaust. The DBD34 had a 110 mph (180 km/h) top speed. The Gold Star dominated the Isle of Man Clubmans TT that year. Later models had an ultra close-ratio gearbox (RRT2) with a very high first gear, enabling 60 mph (97 km/h) before changing up to a second. Amongst the options available were a tachometer and a 190mm full-width front brake that gave a larger lining area than the standard 8" single-sided unit
