Been on and off this forum and every other BSA site looking and learning over the years. Started back on bikes after many years with a restro on a 51 C10 needed something to start with, love the old M series so a 41 M20 entered the shed, slow heavy but bloody relaxing plodding along on a nice afternoon ride. Then out of the blue comes a 52 A10 looking for a home.. who am I to leave this homeless? So in it rolled.Totally love riding it, it is great though to have a mixture of riding experiences in the shed...the forum to date has been very helpful and offers some interesting reading and advice looking forward to being able to add to it ..Cheers

Started with a basket case, now got 3 BSAs and a shed full of bits.....mmmm feel another BSA coming on...whoops two more followed me home...
