Hello from Arthur
« on: 21.08. 2014 21:33 »
I have just aquired a 1957 A10 in reasonable condition.  I have a lot of experience with rigid Triumphs, and a Velo MSS, but none with BSA, so have a lot of learning to do.

I live in Derbyshire, which has some great riding in the Peak District.

I will post a picture of the bike soon.

I am a few miles north of Derby.

Still have, and enjoy, the Triumphs. I bought a 1946 Speed Twin in 1965 which I still own.

My first bike was a BSA (1961 C15). but a friend rode it into a stone wall, and it was never the same after that.

I am looking forward to riding the A10, I had a hankering for one for years.

G'day Arthur,  *welcome*.
I'm sure you'll enjoy your A10 and removing the rear hub won't give you a headache  *bash* as on the ST.
