What's Become of You?

[brissy_bsa]

Hi all, I am still here... Life is getting busier by the day and I have to admit I have not had a great deal of time to do anything. I still have the 51 A10 and still manage to find time at least once a week to clean out the pipes. ian

Maxwell - no one should be allowed to ride an A with a scowl like that - have his licence taken from him and give the bike a good home.

If it helps, I still haven't dried out, and that was mid-May! Someone else got a shot of me that's even worse a few minutes later, I look like my dog just died.

Hi

I am still here. The Goldenflash is in good condition and I haven't ridden it much because of the poxy weather and also because I treated the wife and I to some long trips abroad after retiring.

I have a lurk into the forum about once a week.

Regards

Mick

I'm still here too.  Thanks for rattling my cage.
Still own and still ride the A10.  Mainly just short rides through the canyons in Southern California.

Glad to hear most folks are doing well.

Glenn,

Good to hear from you again. From the picture, I was thinking it was on the way to the Rock Store out by Malibu canyon, but see by your older posts you are in Orange County. I looked up Cooks Corners. Can't say I've been to Trabuco Canyon, but I somewhat know the area, being from the San Fernando Valley and touring around the Laguna area. The Irvine Hilton was one of my sound projects when it was built but it's owned by some other chain now. I just wish I had my bike in So Cal right now so I could enjoy the canyon runs, which are few and far between here in Chicagoland. On the day that someone made a left in front of me back in '79 (think "right" if you happen to drive on the left), I was returning from Malibu beach (via Malibu Canyon) to my home in Studio City. I bet that all sounds familiar.

I am still here!  I lost the link to the forum a while back and have been trying unsuccessfully to relocate the forum.  It has been very hot in Texas this summer (more than normal) and I haven't ridden the Super Rocket since late July/ early August.  We have the first rally coming up in two weeks, so I will be cleaning the carb, changing fluids and general tune-up stuff.

I hope all is well with everyone.

Nonethelss, glad to see you're still here. Forum not busy? This post makes 38 today.

Hello, RGS man here,
Just spent last weekend in Albany, Western Australia at the vintage and veteran hillclimb. My young fella broke the commando getting it off the trailer, so it meant we had to share the Beezer for the weekend, had a poker run on the saturday, camped at the Albany rifle club, bar etc was cheap, beer was good, and there were about 50 + there overnight. Rode up to Mt Clarence on the Sunday. Silly me , I expected a load of old fellas nursing their old bikes up the hill. Well, was I mistaken or what!! Everyone was giving every bike there (100 entries) a damned good thrashing, there were some lovely old bikes there doing some very good times. good curvy course, we had a bit of rain as well, bit of a paid, but soon dried out. The beezer god a really good work out, thrashed the bum off it, really performed well.(apart from that blasted RRT2), note must put a srambles 'box in for next years event! The bike kept up with most things, and was reasonably quick, once 40mph was arrived at anyway. Good times.

Cheers all,  Mark

Mark,
                Put the RRT2 on the shelf for pose and fit an STD box.
Mine has an STD box in it as the RRT2 was worn out and now lives elsewhere.

[RGS man]

hi Trev,
Yes, I reckon you are right!, there was a bloke at the hillclimb with a 500 goldie (takes it out once a year, for this event) he had a scrambles box, went really well on it too. But I think a STD one would be better, there are a couple on ebay at the moment, I will keep an eye on them.
