I have done it many times but it is allways like magic.
Before going on the road, turn the horn support upside down .

Well spotted Adrie, that answers why it is close to the frame at the top.

Re: 1939 XWD VH500 first startup
Hello Alan,
congratulations on your restauration.
Interesting to read in your initial statement of the bike's history having been scheduled for Germany. I had always thought that the Nazis did not allow imports into Germany after 1933. But actually I do have a 1938 VH that had been sold new in Munich. So there must have been some supply for the Ariel enthusiasts of the 1930ies in Germany!
I wonder how you like the ride on your Ariel. Keep us informed.
Best Regards
KLaus

Yes,Ive read that before too,in regard to Sturmey Archer..........however it is untrue.......the Reich placed a high tariff on imports.....either 33% or 50%,depending on the import.......with exemptions for special purposes.
