Title: Motorcycles
Post by: jhastie on November 30, 2006, 10:42:04 PM

I am a newbie on this forum.  I just found this forum, in fact.

I remember fondly my 1960 BSA A10.  I bought it in college while I attended Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois.  It was one step from the junk yard.  I spent the next 2 years restoring it from the ground up.

I thought I would post a picture.

I learned motorcycle mechanics by the British Magazine, "Motorcycle Mechanics".

Goldy -

Good luck.  I did this back in 1975.  Chasing parts without the internet was the hardest part.  

Email me if yoiu have any questions.  By the way, don't forget the manual advance.  It is really important.  Time the engine at 13/32 brfore TDC at full advance.
