Re: Ariel, Riding, Breaking and Fixing Diary 2022 Retired!
Its side valve rally time, so I've spent a bit of time getting a few things fixed.
Clutch needed a good decontamination and the side stand needs a spot of welding, the 45degree angle the bike had was too much for my nerves.
But my most important job was to make my tow hitch
A ship chandler provided the stainless bits which I bolted onto the side car mounting with a spacer.
I'll try it later and see if it works ok

Both started with full tanks from my place with full tanks
Both filled up up again 80 miles later on
I used a £1.00 less, fuel the Alan's VB go figure

Your exhaust pipe isn't blue either. That's unusual for a sidevalve. They are not noted for their economy. You must be doing something right. Nev

Just luck I'm afraid Nev. Can't pretend I've done anything particular tuning wise.
