Title: Introduction
Post by: MickH on 24.06. 2024 21:48

Name is Mick and I've been lurking on the forum for a good while. I own a 1960 Golden Flash that I bought a few years ago. It's the first British bike I've owned since I was 14 years old when I bought a Starfire off a school friend that wouldn't run for more than a few seconds, I think I only paid a few quid for it. It turned out the main jet was blocked and was soon up and running. A few years after that I was riding around on Japanese 2 strokes before going on to ride bigger 4 stoke bikes. My last bike was a YZF-R1 so the A10 took a bit of getting used to. Back in the early 70's, a lot of my mates, who were a bit older than me were riding British bikes. Two of them owned A10's and I would often ride pillion on their bikes, that's my only experience of the A10 until now. I'll try to upload a picture of the bike.
