The Story of BSA Motorcycles | From Boom to Bust to the Re-Birth

I headed off on a two day road trip on the new 2023 BSA Gold Star to trace back the story of BSA Motorcycles! Starting at Global Moto Coventry, with an original 1959 BSA Gold Star, I rode over to where it all started in Small Heath, Birmingham, before riding over to Triumph's Meriden location and then onto the world's oldest motorcycle dealership. __________________ With thanks for Global Moto for providing the opportunity to create this video. https://globalmoto.co.uk/ __________________ Locations: - Starting location: Global Moto, Coventry, Sibree Rd, Coventry CV3 4FD - BSA's original location: Armoury Road, Small Heath, Birmingham - Triumph's old factory location: Meriden - The world's oldest motorcycle dealership: Lloyd Cooper's, 59-63 Queen's Rd, Watford WD17 2QN __________________ The motorbikes: - 1959 BSA Gold Star - 2023 BSA Gold Star __________________ Partners: QUADLOCK: https://bit.ly/3DLOlh8 My Usual Bonneville Quad Lock setup: Quad Lock Mount with Black Lever, Vibration Dampener, Handlebar Mount Pro, iPhone Mag Case, USB Charger, USB to Lightening Cable XLMOTO: https://bit.ly/3q34JDM Your one stop motorcycle shop- from biking gear to tools and everything else.
