BSA A10 Super Rocket 15 mile road test.

Oh how I’d love to ride one of those again before I get my wooden overcoat! That’s a handsome bike. Was always very fond of the A10 range. Saw one on ebay the other day that had an alternator chaincase, seems it’d been a police bike so had two electrical systems, a dynamo as usual plus the crankshaft alternator to drive the extra electric kit that the police bikes needed. It’s probably still there if you’re curious to see such a rarity.

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.

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.

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.🙂👍👍

This is now a very well sorted and good looking bike, great problem solving Paul, the owner should be pleased.

G'day Paul, I'm glad your finished and the bike is ready to hand back to the owner, he will be happy 😁 with your work and able to just get on and go, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Happy to see her completed for the owner,nice test ride my best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️👍💪😉😄😁🏁🏍️🛺🐏🇵🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⭐

Worth all the effort and perseverance Paul the owner will really like it, that sounds like the sixties!!!

Looks beautiful, lovely new tyres!

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.

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

Absolutely brilliant picture quality and audio was superb, thanks Paul.

what a beautiful bike.
Goes a treat and looks superb

Good result leaving in far better condition than received another job well done 👍

A proper bike with soul. Brilliant video thanks!

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!👍

Stunning looking bike

Very nice region for riding, testing, and enjoying a bike! It looks very similar to our county and township roads here in the rolling hills of southern Wisconsin. You guys have more hedges and stone walls, we have more cows and bars! The Beezer seems to be a well sorted, safe, reliable machine now. Best wishes!

Excellent result 👍👍👍

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.

Think I'd prefer the flesh and blood leg over the electric version any day! Lovely ride! 😊

Looks a lot better with the new tyres

Lovely ride out and lovely sound 👍👌😎

Great job paul bike sounds lovely ❤

Excellent customer liason with the component matching front wheel solution l thought.

Yhanks Paul.

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

Is there much difference between a super rocket and a standard a10 speed wise I mean ?good video 👍

hi Paul looks and sounds good now one more done? hope the owner loves and looks after it now its had the P Henshaw's love top job TOP MAN cheers stay safe thanks for the ride.

Lovely bike but would like to have seen some harder riding and bigger roads with cars to see how it matches modern traffic.

The ammeter shaking is an eye sore! Also the speedo is suppose to be on the left and the tacho on the right

Top job.

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

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.

Lovely bikes A10s. Would have another Rocket in a Flash...

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.

Could be my next new old bike

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

Was you using your new camera Paul. the picture was excellent.

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

The cosmetics looked good, perhaps less so the mechanical stuff, before you worked your magic of course 👍🏼

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.

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

Hi Paul, is the Amp meter loose?

I've seen those TLS brake retrofits done before, but always with the eight inch backing plate which will fit the stock eight in drum. Do you think the seven inch TLS is better than the eight inch SLS?

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!

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

Nice sounding bike, but some gear whine.

15 miles is hardly a road test! 150 with a tea break half way.
