1960 BSA A10 Spitfire Chopper

Wyn Bingel's engine and frame are how it came from the factory. Wyn owned it since 1966 and customized (chopped) it around 1972. He recently put it back on the road, after it had been sitting in the back of his garage since the mid 70's. It runs "so-so". Probably needs a magneto overhaul. It has full-width Ariel hubs on it (stock). Wyn lives near Buffalo, NY.
