made a few tweaks but it did the run using this configuration, one burnt out clutch, one broken axle, two punctures  and one tyre worn out.

 Here goes, new to all this forum lark...

Blue bike is mine "Henry"  stock bike bought from Bristol, came with a laod of spares and part bikes



Some nutter with a 13hp Bsa Ariel 3,  known affectionately as "Charley"  has  hilarious performance, matches the hilarious suspension and hilarious brakes to be fair..


under the skin of "Charley"



Currently pulling this motor to fit an electric start version which is proving tricky as its fat and wide.. but I will manage is as struggling to kick the thing over

 As a Bsa owner (ariel 3) I figure out of all these forums this must be the place as its such a diminuitive machine compared to
such beasts as the mighty 500 goldstar,  I have a stock original bike, and a silly custom that is becoming a nightmare as I try
and fit more and more parts and tech into it !!  If you are interested happy to post some pics of all !!

WOW from that pile of tat  to that super looking bike !!! fair play to you

Think there was a brief mention in it when Jackie Wrigh organised us all gong to see the Vulvan bomber in your last mag? basically I did 1057 miles in a week, broke an axle, burnt a clutch out killed two tyres, and a few electrical gremlins from the rewire I had had done to add safety features like indicators and daylight running lights for the roads in scotland.  but ovreall an amazing experience..considering he is the oldest known Bsa Arel 3 he is also the fastest !!



here I am with Paul my very good friend ( also owns an ariel 3-me on the right stumpy grey haired git) having finished the triip by the skin of my teeth with a clutch slipping so much you couldnt hot start the bike.. Oh the joys

 Well what can I say, I have 3 bsa's all Ariel 3's 2 modified and one completely original bike, some of you know me already, but if this works there should appear a photo of "charley" my favourite of my Ariel 3s'



sadly shown here broken down at side of A46 after shearing a drive gear on the way to the "Rustival" festival at Gaydon a few weekends back

here is the bike that sarted it all for me though "Henry" a completely standard unrestored but in great condition blue bike


Rode Charley from John O'groats to Lands end in June for charity, raised a lot of money and had some epic adventures (and brakdowns)

Have joined the club too but only this evening so will wait for the membership to go through
