Hi All,
JulianM here reporting for duty.
Sorry I have been away for so long but business very busy and too many projects taking my time.
Hope you are all well.
Think I will have to get myself another A10.  Stupid of my to let the other one go. I do regret it!
Best regards,
Julian

G'day JM,  *welcome* back.
Often wondered what you were up to.
That scrambler certainly was awesome. I'm sure anything you touch will be the same.
Cheers

After such a long wait I felt cheated when you did not show the bike in action😕

Sorry buddy,
I got an offer I couldn't refuse so sold it.
The problem was that I kept looking at it and asking myself  "what is it"  and I could not answer.
Was it a classic.  Not really as it looked too modern.
Was it a modern, No because it was old and very non modern.
Was it original, Certainly not,
Was it a sort of "off road" cafe racer.  I suppose so.
I don't want one of those  *smile*

At the same time I had the same epiphany with a Laverda I was building.
It was going to be a 750 converted to 1000cc and fitted with a 1000 fuel tank and side panels etc to confuse people.  But the same question,  "What would it be"
So I sourced and Igli frame and am now making a 750 classic pre 71 race bike.  A rather awesome one hopefully but at least it will fit somewhere.

Therefore, I sold the BSA.
However!  I am trying to get it back as I would rather like it for posterity.  If I do you can have a go on it, I promise!
