I had a BSA Gold Star.  Single cylinder 500cc bike.  Leaked oil nicely; 
like a good English bike should.  The starting procedure was quite refined 
also.  Parts fell off as you rode.  At times the vibrations got so bad the 
timing would jump out of sync and you'd be stuck by the side of the road 
rebuilding and timing your motor.  But the best was Lighting by Lucas, 
Prince of Darkness!  I miss it!!  I don't think the PIC chips would stay 
in their sockets if you took your K2 on a trip.

I miss riding my friend's Ariel Square Four too.
