Hi Steve! Good of you to join us... The question is... Do you have an A10/7 now? No problem if you dont as it's always nice to hear from people who have had them in the past.

Steve,

Welcome. With A7/10's in the past, you must have some great stories, and we look forward to those. Meantime, maybe you have some photos of your old bikes you might show and/or use as your avatar (as in the little picture to the left of this message, not a blue guy in a transportation chamber).

hi  again  *smile*  after much messing managed to upload very old pic of an a10 i had in bout 73 !  just standard iron head engine but as you can see `different color scheme to original`   and none the worse for it in my opinion  *smiley4*!!!!!!!!!!!!!    you can see the twin leading front brake i had fitted , this was 2nd time i`d done this on an a10  and wow the difference was incredible  *eek*!  this was a popular mod in the early 70s , there were a lot of these brakes around as i think the factory was flogging off stuff trying to raise cash ,   the bike shop i worked for at the time got a load of these in and flogged em off (probly £5 or summat)    i remember you could make the front tyre squeal with one of these   ACE   *smile*   the petrol tank was off an a65   ! cos i liked the shape and it was chrome
