Welcome

In this blog I will be sharing my classic Motorcycle retoration projects and experiences starting with a 1961 BSA Super Rocket coversion to a BSA Rocket Gold Star Cafe Racer. Followed by a 1961 Ariel "Golden" Arrow Super Sport. I also have a 1960 Lambretta LI150 and a 1954 BSA Bantam 150 Major.

If you are renovating a classic bike and using this blog for help, please read the whole blog first, as I make mistakes and then have to correct them. It will save you doing the same.

1. BSA A10 Before......


This is how the BSA A10 Super Rocket looked when I first bought it back in October 2008. It arrived with a sidecar already fitted, but part of the deal was to sell the side car and give the money to the original owner.


It looked ok, but by no means perfect.But further examination showed its 51 years and needed restoration. The original idea was to get it running and then work out what needed doing, but getting it running properly turned out to be an impossible task. So I decided to completely strip the bike and start a total renovation. The eventual target is to make it look like the famous Rocket Gold Star.
