Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

That fridge behind the 550 looks a collector's piece too!

in fact the chopper pic is just a "before" picture , the picture on the stock bike is a 1954 huntmaster frame.
The fieldmaster project is'nt showing on any of the pictures.
Dont know if the 1954 huntmaster ever came in black but I had that black tank so I painted the rest black aswell.

A side valve dirt track bike? Never before heard of that.

Thats what the previous owner told me, and he bought the bike 1946, and it has a extra oilpump fitted that i've been told is a pilgrim.
But they could'nt be that usual on the tracks I guess??

When the Over Head Valvers came they where not reliable in the dirt ( open valve gear) so most of the riders stayed SV, not all new things where trusted, think of the first gearboxes, in 1913 there was a club against the gearbox with a lot of members.

Hello John
Got the front plate cover thanks, I found this amongst my bits I think it's Off my Hunt-master (Carb Drip Tray) if it's any good to you I will send it.
cheers Steve.

Thank you Steve but it's OK, i've got one in nice shape.
Glad to hear that the cover arrived and that it comes to use.

Dear John,

I like the 1928 Ariel. I recently also acquired the makings of a 1928 - a basket case but it lacks an engine. I don't suppose you have come across anyone with an unloved engine or parts thereof? Either SV or OHV.

Also looking for an oil viewer/regulator.

No Richard I'm sorry dont know of any.
I dont have any spares at all.

Hope you'll find what you're looking for.

Cheers.
