@Georgie Thought I’d move this bikes bit over here to avoid off-topic on a serious thing. Hope you don’t mind, so…
“The A10 Golden Flash was a thing of beauty, as are most ‘vintage’ bikes. Please tell me it was in gold!”
Yup. All gold with that dead neat red cheatline. The chair was black, though. Can’t remember the make but it was all fibre-glass.
Bike before that was an AJS 350cc single with no rear suspension or pillion. My dad made me a custom seat (leather with armrests!) on the back. It was an old dispatch-rider model from 1949. You could count the seconds between strokes but he still would it up to 80mph (following wind!)
