This is a chronicle of the adventure I had restoring my ’54 BSA A10 “Golden Flash.” This is largely an archive of the restoration–though if anything of note happens to “Fireball” I’ll try and note it here.

History: This site used to be a “static” site with a “frame set” and other annoyances. I figured it would be a simple matter to grab a WP blog and throw the content in it, making it more usable at the same time.

    What a great site. You deserve many kudos.

    I was 16 in 1954, living in Cornwall, England. My friend and I used to ride our ‘push bikes’ into town and ogle for hours on end at a brand new BSA Golden Flash being exhibited in the store window. I just loved that bike.

    I’m now 70 but still riding, I currently own a 2003 BMW K1200RS.

    Incidentally, Ihave a neighbor who has done some prize winning BSA restorations.

    First off, I would like to congratulate you on such a great job and finished project. I also like your website to boot!…. I inherited a basketcase 1950 Golden Flash from my father in-law about ten years ago. After seeing your project come to life I will definitely get mine under way. I am located in the Chicago area any pointers, links etc you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated. Any other projects in the near future for you?
    Thanks Again,
    Tony Ecklund

    Hello Roger..love you BSA…would you consider selling her?

    Cheers,
    Pete…

    Pete, I’d only really consider a sale for what I think people call a “stupid price” — something considerably over actual market. I really like this machine and at the moment am not looking to sell unless I got an offer that made me sit down.
