Hi folks,
I'm a new member and this is my first post. I have a 1952 A10 Golden Flash, plunger, (Polychromatic Biege). The bike was restored to better than new in the mid nineties just before I bought it. It has been used very little since but I am going to put it back on the road very soon.
I'm In the process of cleaning the gunge out of the tank and coating the inside with Topox tank treatment, and changing the oil. The carb was recently overhauled and so I won't use it until the tank is finished, to avoid getting the carb fouled again.
I was delighted to come across this forum and to be able to learn from people who are much more knowledgeable and experienced than I am on the subject of the BSA A10 and other classic bikes.
As a small boy I lived just down the road from the Ace Cafe in London and often went there with my
father who had BSA and Triumph as everyday transport and used to go to the Ace Cafe to chat and fettle the bikes. This was in the mid sixties and as I was a young lad of about ten at the time I was too young to learn about the maintenance and I am just now nervously trying to gain that knowledge.
Thanks again for your great forum and I hope to be able to join in on conversations into the future.- Dave Gorman:-)
