Greetings to all you fellow Luddites who also just seem to be drawing to cranky old motorcycles! I am now firmly re-introduced into the world of BSA twins with the recent purchase of a 1960 A10 Super Rocket. My previous BSA experience has been with several A50/A65 models and M20/WM20 thumpers, and have been a past member of the OVBSAOC.

I recently was forced into retirement so what better time than now to expand the horizons, as I was getting quite bored flogging my two Commandos. I am fortunate to have found a bike that is about 90% sorted but several items will need attention so I look forward to mining the vast sum of knowledge on this site.

Hi Bugz and welcome, a fine looking machine and I can see you've had the metal polish and rag out already.
Look forward to your input

G'day Bugz  *welcome* to the fold.
She certainly looks a gem. Shouldn't take too much sortin'.
Cheers.

First sight of those handlebars and I was looking for the stars and bars in the footer. Excellent.
