AVIATION AND MOTORCYCLES

[Flying Librarian]

It will be a pleasure to join the ranks of fine pilots and riders. Just passed the P's for the bike. Now just have to avoid the cheese cutters, Armco and car drivers ;)

I bought at VB Ariel 600cc single in 1970 and still have it, I rode during my apprenticeship years. It is fitted with a dusting side car now and gathers dust in the shed.

Well Dust it off and "retyre" it and lookup Australian Ariel Register or AOMCC Forum UK. There's lots of them being ridden. No it isn't worth zillions of dollars but that is not a bad thing. Nev

Or donate it to me - I'm sure I can find a dusty corner of the shed to keep it in!

You have to get it on the road. Manual magneto and a side car. THAT will separate the men from the boys. Nev

I had a 39 VH500 with a sidecar - fantastic lightweight outfit. As the others have said it should be out on the road !

No time to play with all the toys and some get a greater priority than others

 

The VH is a OHV and the old VB is a side valve like the M20

With ALL of 17 HP at hand. Clydesdales though. Nev

Put my feet up on the weekend and kept them up more than any other rider in my class.

Awesome PA, I have ridden dirt bikes for 34 years but never a trials bike. Trials riders make excellent enduro riders eg - Graham Jarvis . Well done

Yep another motorcycle nut!!! I ride when I cant fly, I am just as silly on a bike as well!Yamaha Virago XV 1000 (have a sidecar to fit later for the family)

 

Yamaha XT 500

 

Honda XR 75

 

Honda CT 125

 

Bikes and planes fit into the same catagory in many ways, you have got to be a little insane to enjoy them both.
