Hi All!

[FlipDog]

-Just thought I would introduce myself and me new 1952 black Golden Flash with no matching numbers which I picked up yesterday (pics to follow).
I am a 'young' 63, and sold my Triumph Rocket 111 Touring a few months ago, cos it tipped over on gravel and I found I couldn't lift it up any more! . My bike before that was a Sunbeam S8 which I didn't recondition, -rather I just stripped down to the synchromesh cones to make everything work right. Anyway, back on Topic (admin please note!), I have now returned to the classics and really looking forward to not having to press the starter and let the automatic choke do it's work . -Not .  -but I am looking forward to not seeing an engine management light twinkle expensively, instead  listening for the tell-tale little noises which allow you to ignore the problem 'till a more convenient time.
Rambling now, so must bid adieu and set off into that good night on me trus *eek*ty ----

welcome FlipDog
All the best with your Black Golden Flash, we look forward to the pics.
One problem solved already - the numbers didn't match, others here have a lot more A10 historical knowledge than I but I think BSA did not use matching numbers in the A range until the A50/65 s came about

Thanks, bsa- bill! I will look into the numbers thing when I fathom out how to post a question ---
TGIF anyway.

Thanks Metal-flake.
Your monica reminds me that paint rattles, though!

G'day FlipDog, welcome back to the world of real motorcycling. Skin off the knuckles, grease under the fingernails, pondering problems and a grin from ear to ear.
Cheers
