Hi all, I'm Chris normally knpwn as 'Sav'

I was researching pages on Morris Golden Film SAE 40 oil that I bought and am extremely suspicious of and found this site, so here I am.

BTW the Morris oil is like dishwater after six months in the A7 whereas the Chatsworth I normally use is still lovely and thick in the A10, debating on ditching the rest I bought at the West Kent Run last year. The Morris oil (if that's what it is) is so thin it soaked into the concrete of the garage floor and disappeared in no time at all. The stuff in the can still looks normal consistency.

I've just retired and have the two BSA's below and am looking hard for a twin port Empire or Blue Star.

I've been a motorcyclist for almost all my life and ridden classic Beezers (and an Ariel 3) for the last ten years. I did Enduro Himalaya on a gutless Enfield year before last and hundreds of miles in the Pyrenees on the A10 last year. I'm a member of both VMCC and BSA clubs and will be off to the Island in three weeks time with my small club. I'm at Glenlough Campsite if anyone else fancies a beer.

You can see the Rocket in the attachment.

Welcome Sav,

Great bunch of blokes here.  Been priceless in terms of me getting my A10 back together.

Cheers,
Hubie.
