Hello All, I have been given a 1960 A10 to use this summer; myself and the owner disinterred it from his garden and after a fair amount of effort got it started. It ran but not very well so we substituted a mag which had been reconditioned some years ago but not fitted. It ran very well revved nicely and ticked over a treat . . . .and then stopped. Much swapping of bits later we have come to the conclusion the newly rewound armature is at fault. Oh well! I race a 51 Thunderbird outfit in VMCC meetings and practice at Mallory regularly. If any of you good people fancy a go then give me a shout - try reading my article in, I think last month's VMCC journal to find out how much fun it is (and how much it can hurt!) Cheers, David

Nice to have another sidecar racer on the forum! One of the bikes that influenced my own build was the lovely girder rigid 6T of Sue & George Derbyshire who bought their rig out to NZ a few years back. I had a historic (read fairly battered, featherbed based) norton atlas rig and after seeing their bike decided to build a proper old school rigid albeit with just the one camshaft in the correct place behind the motor 
Hope you get some pleasure from your new acquisition over the UK summer while here we're in winter rebuild mode with temperatures plummeting down to the mid teens (in celsius)
