  • Al Gunter Gold Star info wanted

    Dear California members. An English guy has asked me for info on his bike. Factory records show it was built around a 1960 DBD34 engine number 6462. It has Al Gunter conical hubs, disc brakes, Jap forks which means the headstock has been altered and frame number gone, and Keene written on the rear sprocket. He believes it to be a Neil Keene/Al Gunter/Dick Mann racer, subsequently sold by Bud Ekins in 1980 to an English friend of his, now deceased. It is pictured in Classic Bike magazine Dec 1989 page 5 with a write-up on pages 24/5. He asked if he should restore it (nooo!). Does anyone know if this bike actually existed, was raced, and if so by whom? Any contributions gratefully received. Best regards.
