The Club has been contacted by a guy who has a large box full of Ariel spares he wants to get rid of. Each has a works drawing with it. They look like some sort of pre production parts and they are probably all different. Dave Owen thinks they may be Pixie. Anyway can anyone positively identify them...

In 1951 I passed my test on 1935 Ariel 350. Could have done it on Vincent V twin If I had owned one.

I have done many thousands of miles on singles, often over the Alps and always with a pillion. Never used anything but a 23 tooth sprocket.

Roger Gwynn has sent the following: "I have just heard from Chiel Fritz that Carlo Jusche aka Uncle Bulgaria died last week after an accident at home. I have asked Hans van der Linden, who was his friend of recent years, to let me have a copy of any obituary that is written. I don’t know of any...

Surely, it is deservedly so....

Oh dear????

My FH always eventually wet sumps. Years ago I put a thread in the bottom of the sump plate so a bolt could screw in. - It is a lot easier to drain surplus oil that way.

Good news. I am discussing the hand over with a member. I haven't rushed to announce it because I got this far before but he faded away.

I'll certainly miss your input, Dave.

Does anyone have any experience of doing this? I want to get a bike from GL15 UK to Glashutten 61479 Germany. Is i still possible with restrictions to ship it in a van or will it have to be crated? Any idea of the cost involved?
