When the association lodges changes they will need to ensure all other aspects of their constitution comply with the new requirements. The chair suggests that the amendment to rule 19 should not proceed now, without first undertaking a proper review of the entire club constitution. The chair acknowledges that the meeting must proceed, as was notified to the members. The chair suggests that the passing of the special resolution without reviewing all other aspects of the constitution would be unwise.

    Southern Star Magazine of the New Zealand BSA Motorcycle Owners’ Club Inside: Two bikes over the last two winters Women BSA riders 1930s B.S.A. rider Vera Porter rd 23 National BSA Rally Patron: Jeff Smith 2018 Subscriptions Due January - February 2018 1955 BSA A7 500cc Shooting Star. Photograph John Whitcombe. 1954 BSA A10 650cc Golden Flash. Photograph John Whitcombe. Cover: Jacqui Walker up on the Port Hills in Christchurch. 2 Two bikes over the last two winters By John Whitcombe I have been rebuilding two bikes over the last two winters: a 1954 BSA A10 650cc Golden Flash and a 1955 BSA A7 500cc Shooting Star. At the time of writing both bikes are running and almost ready to road test and do the rego and WoFs. The Gold Flash came from Christchurch as a conglomeration of bits consisting of a 1957 BSA Road Rocket completed two years ago and the Gold Flash. This Gold Flash has been my toughest challenge to date and as shown in the photos it was completely disassembled and probably contained parts from more than one bike. This is the reason that I was working on the A7 at the same time, as when the A10 became a bit too much I would put it aside and move to the A7. The A7 was found in Rotorua from a chance conversation that my daughter in law had with a cycling friend. It had been sitting in a farm shed for over 30 years awaiting restoration by its owner. Unfortunately time overtook him and sadly he never made a start on it.

New Zealand National Motorcycle Rally February 2019. John Hughes and Mike Becker at the Rally assembly point, Marlborough Club Rooms. New Zealand National Motorcycle Rally February 2019. Noises from the big end. Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to complete a full ‘Nuts and Bolts’ restoration of a classic bike? I can remember the club once ran a survey and determined the average time to undertake a full restoration was approx. 18 months to 2 yrs. But that was back in the late 70’s when original parts for Classic bikes were still readily available from shops like: Allparts; Ryan and Honey; Burling and Simmons; A.P North; P&R Williams; London Trading co; Bennet and Woods; Fraser MC’s; Jim Eade’s; Ryans at Parramatta, as well as a host of local workshops supplying parts and services. Sadly we have seen most of these outlets disappear only to be left with a few outlets supplying just a selection of parts. I can remember how it used to be, heading out on a Saturday morning shopping spree and coming back with all the parts necessary for an engine overhaul or just a new set of handlebars, levers and cables or a basic tune up kit.
