Shaun,

Welcome to the forum. That is a very cool bike. We look forward to more photos and stories of the various A10 adventures. By the way, no mystery about your occupation or where to find you for irrigating the various gardens that mke beautiful backdrops to our A7/A10 photos.

Hi Richard - thanks for the kind comments on the bike - its kind of different isn't it? Now you have mentioned it the graphics on my van are rather prominent in the photo aren't they! Not deliberate I can assure you and will post photo's with rather more scenic backdrops in the future

Thanks Chaz - yes it is a bit different from the Gold Flash it started out life as!! I have now fitted a 7" Chrome headlamp with ammeter and light switch mounted in it which is a big improvement in appearance as I have got rid of the switch and ammeter that were mounted in the tubes with the finned exhaust trims around them! Next plan is to find the original tank badge screw holes and re tap them then have the tank sprayed black and fit a pair of the Gold Flash wing type badges. I think a small stainless front mudguard would also be in order. The rest I will probably leave alone for now as it may have to go on the market soon due to lack of funds which is very sad

Hi Shaun,
I can't see much detail in the photo, but I'm building a plunger bob at the moment and wondered if you can tell me what rear tyre and rim you have ?

We haven't heard from Shaun for 4 1/2 years, but you might be lucky and get a response. All I can see is a Pirreli Supertourer magnified 400%.
Cheers
