What's Become of You?

[Greybeard]

GB don't think of you as Billy nomates  , with your communication skills and not with all your friends here but maybe members should try to meet with others local to them ,nothing to organised but may help some people ,for instance, i'm in Formby merseyside and know for sure there are at least 4 other A10's around here but don't know the riders .

I am a solitary person by nature. When I was a boy, I'd go off and have adventures alone. Maybe having you chaps available but at arms length is perfect for me. I enjoy having time to myself; which is not very easy being married owned for 51 years.

It's a little remembered factoid that it was me who first suggested having some way of recognising another A7A10 forum member at a bike meet; hence the branded teeshirts etc.

Judging by the lack of pickup for the DGR I don't hold out much hope for a forum get-together

GB, I'd be well up for a meet, especially if there is camping/alcohol involved. Only available every other weekend though (me not the alcohol, you can get that anytime, just find a "petrol station"!!!)
You know my neck o the woods, if you're ever over this way hit me up.

That's a legitimate observation.

Just a note about the forum whearabouts if I were to be MIA and taking my final ride to the eternal realms (or be reborn in Tibet or something), Muskrat gets regular backups of all forum files, gives the ability to reconstruct a complete working forum. Only some recent topics\pictures would be missing + some offline time would be expected.

It would be great to meet up I have so many people to thank. I agree it is doubtful. Tee shirts sounds a good idea. Every time I see ab A10 or A7 I can’t help having a look and a chat if I can.  We mostly ride in good weather so tee shirts sounds appropriate.

Happy to help this happen.  If it was linked to a charity it could make the payment process easier and make the world a better place.

The tee-shirt is already available, (still, I hope);  have a search of the forum.

Hi guys

Just to let you know I'm still here, just dealing with busyness in life at present.  Been down to see Russell Smalley in Notts to get speedo looked at - need to go down again this weekend (possibly) to get another niggle sorted out.  Will be back online proper just now.

Take care guys, ride safe.

Good guy, Russell. 👌

[Worty]

Definitely.  Very accommodating and great to talk to - unbelievable with the clocks!!

Hiya fellas, just to let you all know I'm still around and fighting my way back to health.  Had three months off work so far with two more to go - hopefully will be back to full strength for the summer (Long Covid and a bit of PTSD following hospital).  I'm thinking of taking early semi-retirement (want to keep working at something) but not sure which direction to go in at the moment - depends on whether the energy levels return to normal.

The bike is pretty much ready to go, although some attention is needed for one of the lower fork legs where the thread is poor on the clamp arrangement.  Had to do a temp job last year to get out on the road but not really happy with how it is at present.  Will definitely consider changing it to a stud arrangement to preserve the internal threads.

Let me know the news where you are guys, it seems ages since I was on the site.

Cheers

Hya, I'm glad you are still fighting the good fight. I hope you get to ride your Beeza this year.

Me and family are doing OK. My son got a dose of Covid but pulled through quite quickly. No riding at the moment, roll on spring!

G'day worty.
Good to hear from you. If the spirit is willing the body will soon follow.
Cheers

Bergs mentioned Alex Kettle too?? 

By the way, if I suddenly went MIA, Sue is under instruction to put a message on this Forum if it's serious - or PM and she'll pick it up from there.

Let us know about Mitch, he was quite a prominent poster.

I'm in touch with Alex. He still has his BSA but is focusing on building up a Kawasaki W650

[Worty]

Which is interesting in that I've just bought a W650!  Maybe if he comes back, we can share W650 stories as well??
