I was most impressed by both the bike and the striped trousers! although I did think the trousers had a shelf attached to the belt at the back  *doh*.

Where would we be without such a diverse bunch of owners  *wink2*
Welcome my Swiss friend from New Zealand.

Someone has put a lot of work into that beauty

That's one hell of a first bike! (my first was a Honda Cub, and I dreamed of having something like yours.....)

Sixpak,

Welcome to the forum. I am all on board for this bike. Done up, but not overdone. Fine in detail.

As for the prison-chic pants  *smile*, I suppose they are about as good as a highlighter-yellow vest for visibility to cross-traffic.

I'm surprised your friend didn't notice there is no pillion seat.

I'm curious about the wall plaque with the spanner. Appears, to be some kind of award.

Finally, it seems you may be on the younger end of the age scale for new A7/A10 owners. That is a great sign for keeping the brand alive.

Hello David
Welcome to the forum! Great Lads around here...!
This is a nice bike, especially as a first bike...
Where do you live? Maybe we can meet one day.
Cheers
