    What a great route, perfect for the bike, wouldn't mind riding round there myself. The audio was a bit noisy with the wind, but I'm sure you'll get that sorted too. Thank you.🙂👍👍

    That looked like a very enjoyable ride, sounds great, looks very stable. I'd expect that to be a lot of relaxed fun once it's settled in. Persistence and attention to detail paid off in the end, cracking job, very well done.

    That looked like a good ride, very few cars on the road made more enjoyable with a well sorted bike. I'm envious.

    Very nice looking bike and a very good job of you, Paul! Interesting perspectives with the new camera, but the sound on faster road sections is a bit harsh.

    Well whats done is done. Sounds nice. Goes well.
    Kudos Paul for putting this all out there. We may not agree but at least it makes for interesting conversation.
    Blessing and peace.

    Sorry but I had to give up on this video because the wind noise is excessive. Perhaps a little attention to the microphone might be in order. Love the bike though; brings back fond distant memories of my Gold Flash.

      You can’t be serious! Videos are great and likewise the song from the engine and exhaust ….but it is nearly impossible to hear the spoken words while on the move due to the lack of a windscreen (so-called dead cat) over the microphone

    • @mickhardstaff6605

    i like the A10 / A7, my first big bike was a rather tatty golden flash, an early plunger with a cast head and the gearbox bolted to the back of the motor

    You had to pull out the stops on this one but you overcame Paul! A lot of work but what a great journey! The old racer “can do” pulled through again!👍

    Visually superb, audially plagued with wind noise. Perhaps one of those squeaky toy/dead rat jobs may help. What a nice ride on a fairly quiet bike. I wouldn't say no to one of those.

    Green oil might be not sure but a very good quality brand called Brad Penn still refined in Pennsylvania. Old car guy's love the stuff especially racers.

    Is the gearing slightly taller than standard? I noticed that the clock needles weren't aligned in top, whereas mine are.

    • @paulhenshaw4514
      @paulhenshaw4514  4 години тому

      Hi - I think the gearing may well have been raised over standard.

    What is wrong with the back wheel has had an argument with the mudguard.

  • @RD-650
    @RD-650 9 годин тому +1

    Its not as rattley as last ride out perhaps the new oil has done the trick 👍

  • @michaelarchangel1163
    @michaelarchangel1163 9 годин тому +2

    Gosh, it's pulling some high gearing effortlessly. Is that because of the higher compression compared to 'lesser' models of A10 ?

    • @paulhenshaw4514
      @paulhenshaw4514  8 годин тому +2

      Possibly - it certainly felt quite high geared.

    @sussaxonsarthois6815 10 годин тому +1

    As I've been following this, YT has presented me with clips of other modified A10s, incl this one from, I gather, SRM. Has yours the same electric start? Also has a TLS front, which made me do a double-take.

      It's ok now, but that ammeter is a cheap, nasty repro item.

    I know it's to provide rear suspension travel but it looks as if the rear mudguard has fallen out with the back wheel.
    Visually it always looked very strange.
    How come Japanese bikes never had to do this!

    • @paulhenshaw4514
      @paulhenshaw4514  3 години тому

      Some modern bikes have rear ends which have much bigger gaps.

    In 56 years of motorcycling I have seen thousands of pounds worth of damage done to motorcycle engines by owners skimping on oil changes and trying to save money by using inferior oils. Mostly on Japanese motorcycles

      I think that might be the starter gears. My Dbd34 sound the same after the starter was fitted.
