Welcome ! A few photos and a story ?

Regarding 'letting me join', the approval delay is related to a check needed for any and all registrations, to keep russian\chinese etc spammers away. So nothing personal regarding a7a10 owners, everyone welcome.

Thank you!
No problem with keeping spammers and scammers out! I should have got round to joining a while ago.

Story behind the A10 I have is that it was my dads bike, pretty much from new, he sold it in 1970 and away it went. I started to trace the bike in 2010 and finally got a reply through the star and garter but it was them sold on again! Anyway I managed to find and keep in touch with the next owner and he offered to sell me it when he started to downsize in 2019. So I now have it, engine and frame combination as left the factory and the original transferable reg. was in a sorry state though with lots of bodges and ran a bit rough, gearchange dreadful, so I decided to restore it and over two years got it something like with a great deal of advice from JulianS.
I’ll post a photo up soon.
