Newbie from Norfolk England
« on: 16.02. 2019 19:46 »
Hello All,

I'm a British bike builder and rider from Norfolk, England. I'm currently building a plunger A10 (my first BSA), she's a bit of a mungrel, but bloody fun to work on. I'm building her up to get an age related plate (I started with a frame with numbers,engine & gearbox.) and have built it up to a period rolling chassis. I pulled the barrels off the engine, revealing Conrods that moved round like a gear lever among other warn bushes, so split the cases today. Having a ball with it.

I must confess, I do own another British motorcycle beginning with a T. It was my first Brit bike, A 58 tiger, I rode it to Germany/Holland last year, santapod, and other local stuff. It's rough, being an X race bike but it's pretty sound, this bike really got me the bug for old bikes.

Cheers

Cheers, yeh I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions if I can't find the topic already answered here. I'm really keen on the mechanical side of things.
