Hi,

Didn't know they built a single,
Ariel made their name with singles before WW2 - the late '30s Red Hunter
was a fine bike in it's day, considered very sporty, with an after-market
Hartley cam and a 1 3/16 TT carb fitted it was a genuine 100mph machine.
Post war models were heavier and slower but still very pleasant and
reliable bikes - and not *too* inclined to spew their oil all over the
place :-)

The future was never like this!
I used to ride
a motorcycle though, still got 3 engines, 2
gearboxes
and a frame etc. somewhere - Ariel single-cylinder
if anyone's
wants to know.
An Ariel???? How old is that thing? I haven't heard of an Ariel
in AT
LEAST 30 years.
