New owner

[Bill ss]

Hi guys,i've just bought an  A7 SS its a 1961 model, one owner.

A bit about me,i'm 68 came back to the bikes 5years ago i bought a F1 Royal Enfield then swapped it for a Bonneville its a great bike but a little on the heavy side for me now,its the 2010 model.

I'm from Liverpool UK,i'm looking forward to picking your brains i have lots of questions to ask.

Mmmm an SS and the same year as me .
G'day Bill  .
As Bob said, the forum is a great place. Friendly sharing of knowledge with a few wise cracks thrown in.
What sort of nick is the SS in? Much or No work needed? A picture says 1K words.
Cheers

Thanks for the welcomes,

Topdad i'm in Litherland,the bike is from Formby.

muskrat the bike is an older restoration i believe it was done in the eighties the last owner did 19 miles on it then then parked it up then started on a car,condition is great a few chips in the paintwork but nothing drastic.
