Emergency addendum!
g is quite correct and I had forgotten this baby. It came out of the hedge in Doreen's back garden in Whitacre - ours was a nasty pale green color. The front was capable of tilting for corners but the usual effect of fast cornering was that the two wheels at the back with the engine between them tipped over. We never took it on the road but I remember Doreen going to work on it at Hams Hall. It was a great shame that a motorcycle marque such as Ariel should be associated with such a thing as this as the last machine bearing the name. It wasn't even made in England most of it.
Yes the boys rode this one and later, I believe, the Suzuki but more about what they rode in future installments.
