Worst thing I ever did – Had a BSA Goldstar “Catalina Scrambler” when I was a kid. Sold it for $350.00 to a guy that ran it out of oil, seized the trans, and junked it. Not quite as good appreciation as a six-pack of unopened “Nude Beer” but Goldstars can be $10,000 for a project and god knows how much for one in tits condition.
