I feel very fortunate to have found this forum...though I've had a lot of BSA's and even a few A10's, it seems I'm head over heels into them now...a lot to learn but this group seems to be a lot of help...I currently have 4 A10's...

1958 Golden Flash....a keeper...I have the correct frt fender, need the stays

G'day motomike, welcome to the forum.
                                                     Looks like you've been bitten by the bug. The patina of the '58 is good for a used but not abused, and I like the bobberish '56.
Cheers

Mike,

Nice to having another forum member/A10 enthusiast here in Illinois.  I'm in Naperville.  We have at least one member in Wisconsin,  but you may still be the closest.

Mike,

Haven't been to the Davenport meet, but have wanted to and would like to this year. Lost track of the date and now I see it's just a couple of weekends off. Not inclined to ride there and not sure I can make it fit a schedule. If, for some reason I find a way to make it, I will let you know and hope we could get together. I assume you're going.
