      1968 BSA 441 and Teri   Cameras were not easily afforded, especially when every last dime went into keeping this eccentric beast running. But I do have this one Instamatic of my soon to be wife Teri (all of 18 - and not happy about sitting for this...). I fancied the black livery (on the bike), and this picture was taken before I remounted the tank badge and decals. The Shooting Star was derived from Victor 441 trials bike - an off-road legend of the late 60's. The short model life of the Shooting Star, as the name suggests, prophecied its success as a road bike. Vibey, unrelaible, leaky and an excuse to buy a BMW, of course.
