New member with a 45 WNG build
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2022 9:56 am
Hello,
I am new to the forum and to Ariel motorcycles, but have owned and built a number of 50's and 60's British twins and singles. I have always wanted to own a war department bike!
I have just acquired a frame and forks along with a number of boxes of parts which belong to WNG bikes which loosely form a project bike. Once I have taken stock of what I have I will be able to start building, finding and making some of the missing parts.
I am very much looking forward to the challenge and to hopefully bring back from a forgotten corner a close representation of a war department vehicle with the help of the forum and members.
The frame is unfortunately not specified in the register as it seems to be a very late 45 bike, most probably shipped abroad and the engine is from around late 42 early 43. I have a gearbox which has been painted so hopefully once stripped will be able to locate a serial number to date it.
I have started the membership process, so look forward to my first delivery of the club magazine!
Many thanks in advance for the assistance I am sure you and the club will be able to provide!
Best regards
Adam
