Last 'bike I had[49yrs ago
]was a 1954 Ariel VB 600cc sidevalve single with magneto ignition.It was a proper animal[I weigh 10st]to kick up especially if you mis-timed letting the valve lifter go
Would quite like another 'bike but I'd probably kill myself on one these days! Never seen another VB since I sold mine-probably says more about my taste in 'bikes than anything else
