BSA ROCKET GOLD STAR description

1963 BSA Rocket Gold Star - As per The Vintage Motorcycle Club certificate, this 1963 BSA RGS was dispatched to BSA New Jersey USA on June 18th, 1963 as a Rocket Gold Star Scrambler. Frame # GA10 15**- see certificate picture. Somewhere in its life, the original motor was changed out to what I have been told may be a later Super Rocket engine (DA10R 14489 HHC) - no history on why or when engine was changed over. The motorcycle, electricals and engine were completely rebuilt ( engine .040 over ) by previous owner ( not sure if mileage on speedo is accurate but previous owner told me there has been about 300 miles driven since rebuild). This bike was changed from a Scrambler to a Roadster model - if you look close at pictures you can see where the rear pillion mounting loops were welded on the scrambler frame. This bike has been in dry storage. Engine has been oiled and kicked over routinely. Very nice condition - was a great runner and favorite bike of previous owner. You can see his sense of pride in the condition of this motorcycle. Has STD gearbox, Siamese exhaust, original Dunlop rims, 190mm brake and the list goes on and on - from what I have been told by a restoration expert is that this is a very correct bike with the exception of the engine change over. You be the judge. See pictures for details. Bike will be sold as is , where is with a clean title/ownership. If you have any questions or need more info/pictures I will do my best to provide that to you.

Please note that this motorcycle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty implied. No returns. I am only sharing what I have been told about the motorcycle but am by no means an expert on the RGS.

$300.00 non refundable deposit due at end of auction, balance to be wired from your bank to mine within 5 business days from end of auction.

The Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and associated costs. I can hold the motorcycle for up to 45 days while buyer organizes transport. I can give a few names of companies I know that transport motorcycles if need be.

Seller has right to end auction early as bike is also for sale locally.

Note that it is not very difficult to get antique motorcycles imported to the USA or anywhere else. The US Border Services requires you to complete a very simple form and submit to them at least 72 hours before you bring motorcycle across the border ( actually, I had someone purchase a old Norton from me and he was able to take across border without the paperwork done - did not get hassled - I still advise the paperwork be done just to insure smooth transition across border.

The bike is located about 2.5 hours north from the Niagara Falls NY border, 4 hrs from Windsor/Sarnia Canadian border - 0.5 hour north of Toronto

Note that motorcycle and /or ownership papers will not leave my possession until I have safely received the funds in my bank - no exceptions

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.
