Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

Congratulations to you Karol, and to your fellow riding companions, for completing this amazing journey. It would be a demanding trip on modern machines. It shows the quality of your work on the vintage Ariels. It also shows the ingenuity and perseverance the group had to keep the bikes going and overcome the roadside issues that were encountered. Well done to all of you, you should be very proud.

What a great read and a cracking adventure, thank you for sharing it!

Our expedition ended today. We enjoyed 19 days on the seat of an old motorbike, visited unknown countries and had a lot of fun. We crossed the Arctic Circle twice, visited the annual Ariel rally of the Finnish Club and circled the Baltic Sea. We often got wet and also repaired often, but we always continued on the next day. We covered approximately 6500 km and returned home healthy. Here are some photos from our expedition. ❤

Quite an expedition - Congratulations! You have a skilled and determined team. Thanks for the pictures and stories.

The motorcycles after our tour are undergoing a light cleaning and lubrication of the necessary parts. However, today I took the Twin KG 500 from 1948 out for a short walk. We covered about 100 km and on the way I visited my son at his work. In 10 days he will go on a trip to the Czech Republic with me. I am looking forward to it. I was accompanied by Dušan and his Huntmaster. They will also participate in the Czech Rally in Jablonná nad Orlicí

It's been 3 years since my friend Daniel passed away. Today we're going on a little trip in his memory. It will be a 3-day trek to his birthplace and back. I hope we will cover at least 500 km. It is warm so far, but a storm cloud is expected to come to our territory. We will probably get wet again.

It was a great trip. We covered 300 miles and had a great weekend with friends. I'm looking forward to next year.

We had fun. A small group of people with similar hobbies.
