If you pop a late A10 crank in them (fits a treat ) it strokes them out to 750cc. With Spitfire cams and lumpy pistons, they'll piss all over a Bonnie

Performance is none too shabby as standard and the handling is pretty sweet too.... Like the mod ideas though Adam

It's a shame I can't justify keeping it but finances are tight just now and with a tuber and three Nortons to feed back at home too..............

My A65 was a lot more "Revvy" than my 69 Bonnie.
The petrol tank split on the way back from the I.O.M. one year on the M6. My girlfriend at the time was soaked in petrol as it tracked along the frame onto her waterproofs. She got pissed off when I made her stand 30 feet away while I had a fag, then fixed it with chewing gum. We split up soon afterwards.

Nice Beezer too, very impressed. I'd like that, but you know the script now, etc........

I had a spare crank for my RGS replica A1O and gave it to my mate with a Lightning. 'Twas a pukka proddie bike with GP carbs (and no tick over ) etc, etc. The rocker gear was polished to a mirror finish

TBH Ian I've absolutely no idea but would guess not. The bike was brought back the the UK from the states in 1994 where my brother bought it from a dealers. It's in near as damn it original condition and I would guess that the engine hasn't been touched.

Many thanks to Dave at Northants V Twin for spotting my ad on UKBEG and luckily his mate Vic was on the look out for one of these. Viewing went well yesterday, Vic was really pleased with the condition of the bike, I was happy with the cash and it's now relocated to sunny Northampton, superb result!!!

Just goes to show the wide reach of dear UKBEG, will send in a donation very soon
