OK, as many will know, what with work and running a bike business, I dont get a lot of time to ride. I/We have had our A10 plunger bobber for 11 or 12 years, swapped it with our then landlords son for our Land Rover Discovery. 10 years ago I managed to get neck and thyroid cancer which limited my use of helmets for a while. having been clear since then a recent trip to the dentist for a tooth removal reveals a subsequent lump under my chin. I now have to go for another scan. It might be or might not be, so, this looks like the end of my riding depending on results.
just looking for a ball park figure for the A10,
Engine 1950 Golden Flash Plunger, Frame 1952 Golden Flash Plunger, has Aprilia front forks and wheels, with discs. being plunger frame hasnt been altered.
the bike runs , but would benefit from a couple of good runs and servicing.
any thoughts?
Sorry to hear your issues and hope you are well.
The only way to get the value of a non standard bike like yours would be either advertise in the STAR or in a custom bike mag.
I think it is a very personal purchase for the person that wants it.
I certainly have not seen one like it in the UK.
thanks for all the interest.
having been out on the bike for the first time in 11 years, the rear sprocket could be changed as seems to rev a bit high, and at 6ft tall, the seat height is a bit low.
its different, but arent we all. as frame and engine are standard, it shouldnt be too hard to return to original.
Im used to 750/1100 rice and pasta burners so dont want to over rev it.
as for me, got the all clear, just too deep an injection, into the muscle filling it with fluid.
seriously though, looking at American cars again so will probably have to go.
No ideas as to values Chaz, but very sorry to hear of your medical issues.
Here's to a positive recovery, and soon.....
Best regards,
Dave.
An awesome looking machine... I would suggest the free ads in the four main monthlies, plus the mags that cater specifically for modded bobber type bikes - the stand out point for me would be the obvious build quality of the bike!
