It did belong to my dad, he died in 2002 and I sold the bike soon afterwards via a mate who arranged for it to head down south somewhere. I understand it later migrated to Wales.
Why didnt I keep it? I kept his 1952 Matchless 500 twin that he restored, which I still have and ride, but the Ariel held a painful memory. He'd visited me one afternoon and struggled to get it started so I kicked it off for him. He died unexpectedly the following week whilst we were on holiday and I always felt that in some way that bike was responsible - daft I know
The last time I saw him was riding away on that bike.Does the bike belong to a member? I do have a couple of photos of the bike taken on one of our rides onto the North Yorkshire Moors.
