EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of adventure and freedom as a young man proudly poses next to his 1927 Ariel Model A motorcycle. The motorcycle, with its distinctive lines and classic design, is a 557cc side valve machine, powered by a Burman three-speed gearbox. The registration number, although faded, hints at the rich history of this vintage vehicle. The scene is set in the early 1930s, as evidenced by the wooden shed in the background, which was a common sight during this period. The young man wears a stylish suit and a scarf, adding to the authenticity of the era. The Ariel Model A was a popular choice among motorcyclists during the 1920s and 1930s due to its reliability and performance. Its side valve engine and Burman gearbox were state-of-the-art technology at the time, providing smooth and efficient power transmission. This photograph is a testament to the allure of motorcycling during the vintage era. The young man's pose, with one hand resting on the fuel tank and the other on the handlebars, exudes confidence and excitement. The motorcycle, with its gleaming chrome and polished wood, is a sight to behold, transporting us back in time to a simpler era when the thrill of the open road was all that mattered.
