Reintroduction
« on: 01.09. 2022 03:30 »
Hi all, not a new member but haven’t been active for the last 6 years or so. I restored a 1955 Road Rocket 10 years ago which is why I initially joined, still have the bike. The reason for the reintro is that I have just picked up a Super Flash project here in Melbourne and will surely be needing advice. The numbers have been checked with the BSA club here and are correct. It is in bits and a fair bit of work has already been done but plenty more needed. Guards seem to be the main thing missing. Regards to all, Mark.

Welcome back, had laugh as it reminded me of my one a couple of years back.
Good luck with the restoration.
