It's official and looking for local members.
« on: 15.08. 2018 18:24 »
I have been on here for a few months now and made the odd post, however, yesterday I officially became a BSA owner for the first time in about 46 years. Back in the late 60s I had a BSA A7SS. I loved that bike (only pic's I have ar on my avatar but will post again below along with my new A7. I bought the bike 95% complete (long story) and hope to have it completed and on the road hopefully by next week.
I don't know any other bikers, BSA owners in particular but if anybody is interested in meeting up maybe to assist one another etc then I would like to hear from them. I am in my mid 60s. 

I live in Horwich Bolton if anybody would like to get in touch.

I am about 2 miles from a great bike meet at Rivington Barn which is on every Sunday with much smaller meets at the Great Barn through the week. 

Cheers.

Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

Thanks for the invite. I understand there is a BSAOC not so far from me my side of Manchester but you never know I may just drop in sometime.  *smiley4*
