Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

Power tool batteries seem like a good idea.

Easy to obtain (although not cheap), easy to get chargers, and compact to carry on the bike.

Keep up the good work.

Its nice to get regular updates on your progress.

The makita battery is quite expensive, but when I drive, I don't use a drill, so I can still have its battery with me. And when I need to drill, I won't drive and I won't need a battery. It seemed like a good idea with such a cassette power supply.

this model always reminds me of this one :


I am the walrus.jpg

yes, those exhaust pipes are similar to a walrus

Today I adjusted the magnet distribution and topped up the oil. Only then did he find out that my oil pump needed longer screws, and again I had to disassemble it. When the weather improves a bit I will try the first start of the motorcycle

my fuel valve was still leaking and so we had to adjust it.

I replaced the shaft with a screw so I can push the cork. Gasoline is no longer flowing. we spent the rest of the time assembling the spare engine. Upon completion, it will be stored at the Museum of Transportation

today is the "D" day My Ariel named Elen has come to life again. There is still a lot of work to be done with the overall tuning, but he is already breathing. I am happy.

very, very nice. well done ! thanks for the video's

Yes Karol. The work you have done impresses me very much. Congratulations to you and your friends that have helped build this beautiful motorcycle.
Frank

thank you guys for the compliment

Most parts are original but come from different motorcycles. It's completed together to one bike. I liked this model very much and it was not possible to buy it as a whole, so I started assembling parts. Very few have survived. I have a knowledge about 5 pieces that are running or will be running soon.
