Popular Post ballpoint Posted May 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2021 These days they're better known for their Atom cars, but Ariel still make decent looking bikes too. Most recently, the Ariel Ace Iron Horse. Each one is completely built by one man, who signs the frame when done. Fitted with a 173bhp / 129Nm / 1237cc V4 Honda engine, she'll do 0 - 60 in 3 seconds and go on to 170mph. And give you something to climb on when you paint the house too: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much why you dont want to be using slicks on the road... if you're ever at Buri Ram (or any other) circuit, go and speak to one of the tyre guys there. They'll explain about heat cycles and cold shear... no point in slicks on the road either to be honest - irrespective of how quick you think you are, you're not good enough to get them up to temperature on the road and keep them there. They're also too stiff for your street suspension - be like riding a bone shaker on some of these roads...!! You'll be much better off with a decent sport/touring tyre - they come up to temp much faster and will stay there - work well in wet or dry and will give you lots more grip and feedback than cold slicks... Full on sport street tyres are fine too, but you wont notice any benefit over sport/touring tyres unless you're doing lots of track days...and of course you'll chew them up in a few hundred miles if you're fairly quick on the road...???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 How many pictures to guess who it is? One of the greatest names in motorcycle history takes his mother for a spin on a V twin built by his father: The same man, chatting to a customer riding one of his motorcycles shortly after an accident on his own bike - hence the walking sticks: The customer's bike transported to an inquiry into his death on it: Should be obvious who he is now, sitting on one of the first bikes he produced, and, given the bike, who the customer was too: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
