This bike is as it was when the RCAF gave it to the Dutch Army. I love my Ariel and still ride it whenever I can. It is an amazing machine and runs like a clock. Who can say that there bike lived through the War and is still running today! The Ariel should also be noted as to being the the second most sought after WW2 Mortorbike, next to the Matchless 3GL. The Matchless gets top place only because it was the first bike to ever have telescopic front forks, and they always leaked! Jeremyjvandyke@mac.com
