In keeping with trying to keep "Just a Picture" (https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=7964.0) chat-free, this topic hopefully provides the outlet, which I need right now.
Bill Harrison - beautiful bikes, absolutely! Also, perfect use of Just a Picture.

Bill Harrison - You are definitely high on the list of those here keeping the marque alive at a high quality (that I don't pretend to approach). (...but you will need several more if you intend to have the most. *smile*)

I've reached the limits of my shed/garage space unfortunately. Kind comments, thanks.

DITTO.... a lovely stable of bikes to be very proud of... *wink2*

Patcross,
Well, "Just A Picture" has almost worked too well. You totally went with the spirit fo the topic, but this is the first time that I recall a brand new member using it as his first post and intro to the forum. *welcome* That is a perfect project bike. I think I'm not alone wondering how you found it, what made you look for it and whereabouts (approximately) you're located. Again, welcome, and glad you decided to join the forum.

Trevinoz,
Fantastic pictures. Not sure I can recall you posting you collection before. So many things to like about these bikes. Thanks for posting.

This topic is where I (we?) respond to "Just a Picture" to keep the chat out of there. Let me say, there have been many great pictures since I last commented here. Taking nothing away from any of them, the latest from The Engineer is just stunning with the beautiful bike sitting in the snow and a great sky above.

hi guys, Richard can we call you the `Picture Police` and in what capacity do you police these posts, cheers

Bob,
Sorry if it seems that I am assuming some authority that I truly don't have. (Meaaning, I don't have any authority.) When I thought of the "Just a Picture" topic, my hope was to get a big collection of pictures of our bikes in one easily viewed place without obliging members to provide a story (which they can, and do, do elsewhere). Here is the first post in "Just a Picture" explaining the idea:
https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=7964.msg55981#msg55981
If you think this is not a good concept, I would be happy to start another topic called "Pictures of Bikes With Little Stories Which Are About To Become Oil Threads". *smiley4*
Now, if I could, indeed, make rules......... *eek* *smiley4*
Best regards,
Richard L.

G'day Richard.
I often forget (almost everything) this topic.
Well done to all the contributors to Just a Picture.

No need for that, it's only possible to ride one at at time unless you have family or friends with no bike and they need to go where yougo- but only if they live out of the area- aaaah sorry but it was a quick one

Tinu,
Sooo, jealous. Best I could do today from here in the flatlands was a 20 MPH ride through the local arboretum. Www.Mortonarb.org (http://Www.Mortonarb.org) . But, when I got home I said to.myself, "Man, that's a damn fun motorcycle."

Coater87, in your latest picture I can see that you have the kickstart Cotter pin in the wrong way round, (unless you want the Kickstarter more anticlockwise than normal)
-
Without seeing the pic, I have to say I had mine off the other day and as an experiment, I replaced it the other way which is 'Head' up and nut on the bottom/to rear; reason/logic being that may provide more surface bearing area....because even though it works fine, is a bit deformed as it was. Can post a pic later if need be...definite change in lever angle but not enough to spill my drink over *smile*
-
And he must be 8'6" tall. Pegs so low and break lever at that angle. Just kidding mate. Comfort is the name of the game.

All right you two. ;)
Kick start cutter backwards, because that lever beats the road tar out of my exhaust pipes. It's not permanent.
That's the correctly cranked kick start lever. $100.00 U.S. for stripping and new chrome plating. Just picked it up. *smile*
As far as control levers go, I surely hope those are not permanent. Just cheap looking and feeling. Made by Emgo.
I wish these bikes had 1 inch bars, it would be a lot easier to find good quality controls. But I want to say these levers were something like $50.00 for the pair, so expectations should not be too high I guess.

G'day bsapete.
Long time no see (8 years). Lookin' good mate.
Being a Jag owner in the ACT you'd have to know the Dunsters.
Cheers

Indeed I do. You asked me that 8 years ago *smile*
Bought this new A10S with
Peter D’s approval. I’ve owned a few Triumphs since the A7.
61 T110 Cafe and a couple of Bonnie’s (67 TT Special replica and a 68) The TT gave me a hankering for another Scrambler. A genuine one this time.
Cheers,
Pete

GREAT looking machines in this post Richard, a really good initiative on your part *yeah* *beer*….. just need to browse these occasionally to revive the enthusiasm to go out to the shed and fight the weather! One day it'll be finished and I'll post mine too *smile*..

Two birds with one stone. Doctorbugz and Coater87, both looking great (not to take anything away from those I did not mention).

I want to say, from the suburban doldrums, and with more work and chores than allow for riding today, seeing pictures from the New Zealand, England (and other) countryside is a pleasant relief.

Nice pic mate. Hope those skid marks weren't from trying to avoid that old Pommy bike on the side of the road *lol*

New trend. Pictures with your local mill in the background. Don't look at me, it was ChrisA10 who started it

Well spotted but the skid marks were no doubt made by one of those hoons in a hotted up ute that you get in rural towns *razz* ....I think you get them in aussie too.

A few miles away from me there is an amazing ex-windmill. I cannot park close to it but I'll try to a picture of my bike with the mill In the background. Here is someone else's photo of it. It's called Chesterton Mill.
-
Strange mill GB, I wonder if it ever was a mill, or is it a Folly
Mills generally had a facility to turn the sails into the wind which meant some bit somewhere had to revolve.
So not being an expert but as they say "just saying"

GB,
When was that Death Valley picture taken? Probably not this year in the 132 degF heat. I spent my first 45 years in L.A. and never got to Death Valley (that I recall).

Death Valley was scorching.
I think it was about 15 years ago. Here are links to my Flickr albums of the month we spent in California. It was a fabulous holiday. Yosemite was stunning!

G'day Fellas.
Sometimes it's a little confusing as to which picture is being replied to. It could be a post many days/weeks/years ago.
I think it a good idea to put a link of the picture with your comment.
Example :
https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=7964.msg141703#new
Front brake needs attention.

If that was me, sorry. I was in bed having a last minute check of emails etc. I must have missed that it was in the 'forbidden to write' area of the forum.

Well, putting your heads that close together would breach social distancing protocols. You wouldn't want to catch Covid-19 in the process. (To be clear, I'm not promoting any such drastic measures just to make a dark joke.) *eek* *smile*

Hi Roger
As per others very nice.
Just for information where did you get the pipes from as I have bought and returned two sets that did not fit.

Just went back to the as it came in bits in the back of a van just a few short months ago. Nothing short of a miracle there. Well done indeed. Now get those brakes adjusted .......

Do you know Swarfy - the brakes work 10 times better than I expected - especially the front, and I know a lot of owners have problems with 'em.
I just 'burned' them both in over a 5 mile trip and got a good result.

Now that is odd, the A10 is a 1960 bike and those are one of the sets of pipes I purchased (same picture and seller) and they were not even close to fitting. I will find the topic and reopen it as I would like some pictures if possible.
Modified dont bother with the pictures my previous post was in what have you done with your bike today
