Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

Hi all,

Picked up my new bike yesterday after an extremely wet test ride. Love it. At some point it has been civilianised but I am going to return it to military spec paint finish in due course.

Lovely! Lets have some close ups? Which rear light does it have?

I'm only in Swindon, you have a very good branch in your area, the Gloucester branch. There are at least 2 wngs in the branch.

Hi Dave,

I will get along and see them at some point. Was a member of the Glos branch many years ago in the late 90's.

The horn should be mounted at the front. I have new repro fittings for that. (2 pieces) The tapered handlebars are a work of art. Is the "field stand" fitting still on the frame? Nev.

Hi Nev,
Unfortunately the field stand top lug is missing but the bottom one is there. I know the horn should be mounted in front of the engine so will move that. May take you up on the brackets though.
