A fast ride in the countryside on a tuned BSA A10.

[@vinm300]

How marvellous. On those roads one might imagine one were back in the 1960s. And no vibrations coming through the camera. That is a very enviable bike.

[@t20racerman]

Thank you. 😊

[@rogerbranton1752]

Working on an Ariel Cyclone, which has an A10 mill, of course! Going for a virtual ride like this is VERY inspirational! Perhaps the four dopes who gave this a thumbs-down should invest in a British bike so they've actually GET IT!

[@NarrowboatAdventures]

Glad you liked it. Will be making more videos soon - including of my 1944 Ariel Trials bike

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

I live in Southwest Florida USA and what time we had a real bad rainstorm and on my way home from the motorcycle shop the water was over the carburetors of my BMW 600 airhead. Made it home though. Riding that bike through the English Countryside you could almost imagine that you are back in the 1950s. Yeah I know wishful thinking.

[@t20racerman]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jonallaway2002]

All A10 frames were stamped A7, for some reason. Can't beat the sound of a good one on song, thanks for putting this video on here.

[@t20racerman]

I must add more sometime - maybe of my 1944 Ariel Trials too. :-)

[@madeljacky]

Man thats one superb A10, certainly goes better and sounds sweeter than any A10 I've ever ridden.

[@t20racerman]

Thank you. Its a real joy to ride. Everything is sorted & as it should be. Really reliable, fast, excellent brakes and sounds sweet too! I'm now getting this KZbin channel going again and will do more videos soon - including a 'tour' around the BSA - so do subscribe so you don't miss them 😊

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

BSA 650 twins were great bikes. What more do you need than that to ride around a beautiful English Countryside. And listen to that beautiful sound it makes. I don't care what the Harley Fanboys say a British bike has the best exhaust note that there is. It is Pleasant where the Harley is just loud.

[@t20racerman]

Agreed - You can't beat a lovely British twin :-)

[@martynjames5963]

Smooth as smooth can be :-)

[@richardpope3063]

Checking the traps on the 'local' A10. Wish you a long life and happiness.

“Oh to be in England now that April is there.” I envy you the wonderful countryside that you have to ride through. We have some very nice roads in the part of Canada in which I live. But the ones that I enjoy the most are the ones that allow me to imagine I’m riding through rural England. I don’t have the physical resources or skills to keep and old BSA on the road. But I may buy a Triumph retro sport and let my imagination take care of the rest.

[@NarrowboatAdventures]

I do live in a lovely rural area - an ideal place for riding my BSA. 😊 Glad you enjoyed my video 😊

[@welshimpact]

Thanks for the pillion ride!

[@shingerz]

Great video love the sound of the bsa

[@t20racerman]

Thank you 😊

[@UncleLongbeard]

Brilliant bike

[@ianlawrie919]

Awesome machine, awesome ride 👍👌

[@t20racerman]

Thank you. Keep meaning to do some more videos like this. Will do so soon

[@knockholt69]

Nicely handled around those narrow country lanes. I was hoping for a look at the bike at the end of the video though.

[@payback1965]

Nice video bro

[@ermagerd101]

Thanks for the video. It runs sweet!

[@brunovaccaneo5265]

perfect sound

[@wasfu2194]

i bought one new from bennett and woods on sydney. great bike.

[@notwocdivad]

I think your speedo is a mite err! off. Lovely rasp from the motor. Dave

[@t20racerman]

Yup, it reads slow. 😕

[@davidcowton1070]

That's a long lever on the left hand side of the bars, choke perhaps? or A/R perhaps. Dave

[@pinslayer4579]

The bike sounds GREAT quite the ball'sy ride on those narrow wet path like roads. Apparently there are no animals to saunter out of thar abundant cover all along your route ? Deer are a constant issue here in the rural areas.

[@t20racerman]

Patrick Szabo Only get little Muntjac deer round here, and not that many of those. 😁

[@pinslayer4579]

Adrian may you enjoy many safe years on your fine Brit twin........on the subject of animals in the colonies we are taught if you can't eat it in one sitting its best to avoid hitting it on your two wheeler.......

[@glenbreaks5448]

On standard gearing? I have a 63 WestCoast SR, 9 to ones etc. It had decent power until I overgeared it to reduce vibes. With a 23 tooth engine sprocket it's smooth to 60 but a bit sluggish. Yours sounds a bit sharper, could be gearing?

[@martynjones973]

Nice 👍

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

I thought it was the Isle of Man TT when I looked at it. 🤪

[@shingerz]

Is this a later a10 sounds bloody lovely I don't ride mine like you still running her in yet she is loosening up nice though great video 👍ps what helmet cam do you use

[@t20racerman]

Hi there It's a very modified late A10. I will post more videos of it soon. It absolutely flies and has the low down pull of a truck! 😂

[@shingerz]

@@t20racerman lovely bike look forward to more videos 👍

[@farric1]

I see that you have a XS650 too. Are you a parallel twin tragic like myself? I have 5 in total.

[@t20racerman]

farric1 That's my mates bike. I love singles and twins - but am considering buying a Triumph Street Triple for everyday use.

[@vintagejappas3751]

Your bike runs great. What method do you use to set the timing (a cigarette paper ?) No mirror. Did you get sick of watching those Triumphs disappear in it ?

[@t20racerman]

Yes, still use a cigarette paper - it works well. Not just Triumphs that I leave behind 😆😆

[@alffyw5844]

nice bitser

[@rorymunroe3771]

too bad about the wind noise...

[@roeng1368]

Sounds lovely, but you need to fit indicators !

[@t20racerman]

No need - I have arms :-)

[@richardlaidman3827]

Exactly what I was going to say.

[@carlnapp8673]

+Adrian Baker My second Velo had indicators when I bought her. It was an awful sight. An old English lady with indicators? No way, José!

[@adicahyo6159]

Mantap

[@farric1]

Which position is your video camera mounted in?

[@t20racerman]

farric1 It on the right side of my helmet - just above the bottom.

[@MrSandpit123]

Hi what camera are you using? Bike sounds great!

[@t20racerman]

It's a GoPro Hero 4. A superb piece of kit.

[@pbrucpaul]

Where in Britain is this?

[@pbrucpaul]

Hertfordshire I'm guessing. Somewhere Northwest; Magic ride!

[@pbrucpaul]

West country?

[@pbrucpaul]

Never mind, got it. How far from the Welsh country?

[@t20racerman]

It's East Herts - Wareside to Latchford, via Barwick Ford. It's a beautiful part of the world 😁

[@pbrucpaul]

Ah, Thank you.

[@ferstuck37]

It seems to run smooth but the engine sounds like a bucket of bolt, Am I losing my hearing.

[@t20racerman]

The microphone pics up certain frequencies better than others, particularly the higher 'rattly' ones. It's actually a fairly quiet engine 😊

[@ThePoshPleb]

My my my, my wife's backsides emits more toblerone powder than caustic belches spewing from silly oily heaps built in Small Heath.
