Thanks once again puffs. The restoration of my Ariel was done previously but I have tidied the bike up quite a bit. The actual condition is not as good as my Norton, in fact when I bought it I had every intention to completely strip it down and do it again. I have now accepted that it is good enough (from a distance) and if it was better I would be frightened to take it out for fear of it getting dirty...
Well spotted regarding my list of bikes. I thought there was one more but couldn't see what was missing. Yes I had left off the Ariel.
This is a silly story:
I have had dreams where I have been given old motorbikes free of charge and left them in large unfamiliar garages or car parks only to find they had been stolen when I went back to see them. These dreams are so strong they carry on to the next time I have similar dreams and I find myself trying to remember the bikes I was given in the previous dreams as I still am convinced it was real...It's such a strange thing. Even after waking up I am strongly convinced it was all real and I have lost some very nice motorbikes which is why when I try to list them something seems wrong ...does anyone else have similar dreams I wonder...
