Скачать или смотреть 1940 ARIEL W/NG

This is a quick walk round of my 1940 Ariel 350.The W/NG model was made for the War Department in the late 1930s but was only deemed "Adequate" so wasn't immediately ordered in large numbers. At the outbreak of War in 1939 the War Department ordered bikes from every mass manufacturer, including Matchless, BSA, and Norton. The Ariel, like the Matchless, was overhead valve, while the BSA and Norton where of sidevalve design, much simpler and easier to work on in the field. This one was restored a few years ago, but only ridden and displayed at shows. It has a few minor issues, and some parts from later models, but I've had three Ariels in the past and this will be a pleasure to work on and fettle. First job will be the correct WD flat footrests with grooves along the length, and getting the clutch to stop slipping. I look forward to making a few videos of this as I prepare it for it's first Military Show later on this year.
