Good day to all,
I just registered here and I'd like to present myself and my bike. On this forum I go by the name of 'kamacohete', but IRL my name is Hans. I am from Amsterdam, although I travel frequently to Spain where I feel at home just as well. I own a 1955 BSA A10 Road Rocket with matching frame and engine numbers and although it was registered in 1977, everything indicates that it was an original Dutch import. I've ridden the bike a lot during a few years, not only in The Netherlands, but also in the UK, Belgium, France and Germany and at that time it was my only means of transport. But after awhile I decided to buy me a new Moto Guzzi, so I put it away. Now after many years of standing motionless in a dry garage under a motorcycle cover I have decided to bring it back to life. This will take some effort as there is a lot of cleaning to be done. For starters I have to bring back some sparks from the ignition magneto. When I put it away many years ago, the engine was still running quite well. See two photos I took recently. I still have the original chrome front mudguard, but it needs some repairing too.
