We Nearly Crashed A 1959 Ariel Huntmaster! Are Classic Motorcycles Really That Bad?

We finally got to ride a true classic motorbike! Thanks to F2 Motorcycles http://www.jawamotorcycles.co.uk

We were able to ride their 1959 Ariel Huntmaster 650; a British made classic motorcycle; it is truly beautiful! The drum brakes are… non existent and very scary, but overall its a real experience to ride! We talk about how motorbikes have improved, and also how they've gone downhill, and whether there are things modern motorcycle designers could learn from the past. We went for a lovely ride on the fens, with this bike and a Jawa Retro 350 2 stroke! Suffice it to say; we had a lot of fun. Bikes like this are all about the event and experience; we love them!

We will definitely be riding more classics on the channel, so let us know what you want to see!
