By trade, the guy who owns this bike is a cabinet maker/woodworker. On an English Wheel, he made the knee indentations on his fuel tank and a few other custom mods.
Thought you might like my shot of it.

Hashima Island is one among 505 uninhabited islands in Nagasaki Prefecture about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Nagasaki itself. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. The island's most notable features are the abandoned and undisturbed concrete apartment buildings and the surrounding sea wall. The island has been administered as part of Nagasaki city since the merger of the former town of Takashima in 2005.
At Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, experience island perfection in your private hillside villa, shaded by coconut groves and overlooking the mystical Gulf of Siam.
Much has been written about the BSA Gold Star. My 1961 Clubman’s model Gold Star has been developed for competitions in road and short circuit events. I found these last year in France. It's an original 1961 model. The DBD34 has never been restored and the machine is in Original trim except the Bacon Slicers on the front wheel.

A few days ago Kirk sent me this email with another great picture of his 52 Pan.
I was glad to see a picture of my 52 pan I had back in the day. It was a beautiful bike. But I'm curious how it ended up on your site. Glad it did, but the picture I use regularly is of the right hand side of the bike and I can't recall having a left hand side picture of it.
