That's not the sprocket, just a trim ring, sprocket is on the left side on BSA A10's
Great pics though, reminds me of my misspent youth

I think that's Eric Idle on the right. I didn't know he made a movie with Wolfman Jack. Is this American Graffiti 5?

That's not the rear sprocket, just a period accessory add on, more usually fitted on the front wheel.

I've seen her pics before but never knew her story. Can you imagine what she had to go through riding cross country so many times during that era, on those roads, those bikes... etc etc etc....??!?!

Hmm.. two valve Ducati engine with square tube frame... from the plumbing I'm guessing not a 907 but still likely some form of Paso. I'll go with 906 rather than 750, just to be different.

I had never heard of her before today. I will go and do a little research. I love the fiesty women!

That's cool as shet. She needs to learn better tool handling skills. Something about that photo looks photo shopped around the left hand and rocker cover

Ducati headbolts require a "C" shaped adapter for proper torque as the nut is in a slightly recessed area. it looks like that is what she is doing to me. I made my own tool out of a combo wrench bent to shape with a socket welded onto it
