Hi to all!
« on: 24.10. 2012 07:46 »
Hi guys, I?m a new member and just thought I would say ?Hi? I live in Broxbourne, England and spent most of my ?yoof? on A10?s (RGS, Golden Flash etc.) I rebuilt 3 of these, but then got tempted by the dark side (japanese bikes!) I still Have a Hayabusa (Please don?t shout at me, I have a lot of miles to do and I am a newbie!) Nostalgia eventually got the better of me and I am currently restoring an A10 Super rocket. Well, that?s what I think it will end up as. Most of it is missing, but I have a 1956 Frame and engine but the rest is dependant on whatever I can get on Ebay!

I have been looking at the forum for a while now and I think it is easily the most useful source of information on the A7-A10 I have ever seen. It?s a pity it was not around when I was younger! Congratulations to you guys for making it happen.

as it needs to be.

 G'day motoanimal, welcome to the forum.
                                                        Not a bad way to get back into A10 ownership. Won't take long to find the missing bits.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum motoanimal.

Good introduction and photo. That's the kind of project that most of us would love to get our teeth into. There will be trials, as you already know, that bring a lot of satisfaction when resolved.

Hello & welcome, thanks for the intro, seems you've got lots of interesting work coming up, and am hoping the forum will be of help in getting the bike on the road. About using the forum, take a look at the topics in the Forum Info & Help board.
