Hi all on this rather wonderful forum. I am getting ahead of myself here,having only just negotiated to purchase one of the last A7's. Really am getting quite excited about picking up and giving it the once over.
Reliving my youth (as usual) when at the tender age of 19 I purchased a 1960 Super Rocket. Over the years I've never forgotten it and now have 'scratched an itch' and got something very similar,although softer.
Hopefully I can add to the forum as well as benefit from it.
Best wishes to all and safe riding. Chris.

Hi Chris and welcome. As a newbie myself (two weeks ago) I can confirm that this forum really is the place to be... good luck with the A7, I hope it's as good as you hope it will be when you pick it up!

We'll be looking for photos as soon as you've collected it.

You've certainly found the right place for any kind of tech support you may need.

Posting images on this forum is a good deal easier than on some.  It's, in my experience, largely a question of sizing the image to comply with the rules.  After that it's easy to click the image button when compiling a message and browse for the image you want to include.

Try looking at...

 g'day Cotswold Chris - I've been there but can't remember where it is, I'm thinking down the sath cost past Southampton/Isle of Wight/ Stonehenge.....?

 Maybe I can't welcome you to Plungerworld, but maybe into Swingersville.. *smile* *conf2*

 Oh yeah TeraG rounded me up ther...I was going to say I take photos on my Android with 'Resizer', and then just add them...or sometimes bluefang 'em to the lappy, and add from there- too easy
