Welcome

This is a blog I have created, to document the progress of the restoration of a BSA SS80 motorcycle, and to use as evidence for my Duke of Edinburgh's Award skill section. To give some background, my Dad bought it when he was 17, and used for 2/3 years. Then, one day, it developed an electrical fault, and was put away in the garage. 31 years later, this afternoon, we removed it from the shed to begin its journey of recovery. Just to wet your appetite, here is a picture of it. Click to see it in larger, shining glory!
