New A10 owner
« on: 30.10. 2016 18:22 »
I bought my 1955 Golden Flash in September 2015, fitted with a Rocket cam and pistons, 12 volts, electronic ignition, Craven panniers and a few other mods. It is now the bike of choice for weekends instead of the R1200GS, though my wife is more comfortable on the back of the BMW.

G'day jimbo.
Nice looking bike mate. Did she come with the siamese pipes as well? The electronic ignition is a good mod in my opinion. I have it on both my A's, but it can be a love/hate relationship.
I'm sure you'll have many miles of smiles.
Cheers

Thank-you very much. The siamese pipes were on when I bought it, and I think they look great

Very nice. SOOO much prettier than a BMW! And easier to reach the ground for vertically challenged folks such as myself.
