Hi my first A10 back in 1965 was a '53 plunger outfit, lovely bike ,being 16 I battered the poor thing ,it just kept going after a very reliable first yr I seized the motor going down a hiil nr Oxford , completely my fault the bike was short of oil which I had in the sidecar but we'd lost 3 hours waiting to buy a new rear chain link and when done (i'd already found my own my spare which had got out of my toolbox !!) and forgot to check the level. Hope you enjoy your new bike ! Bob , PS where in the uk ? I'm in Merseyside .
