I saw this A10 the other day at a Cadwell Park Meeting and it occurred to me that even back in the fifties blokes could still phone the missus to say “I’m on the way home dearest – please get my tea on”!
It turned out to be the actual bike used in the BBC TV series Heartbeat about life in rural Yorkshire in 50’s/60’s – ahhh, happy days – later in the day they used the A10 (complete with period dressed policeman on board) to recreate a typical British Bank Holiday scene of chasing two opposing factions – Mods (on scooters) and Rockers (mostly on BSA Gold Stars) intent on beating the cr*p out of each other – ahh, happy days!
