I've had more English cars than an otherwise healthy person should admit to, but loved any pre '50 brit bike. The only exception was a '57 Trophy TR6. My last Ariel became a deluxe take-down '86 Winchester. It was a '37 Red Hunter VH (500) I still have a '47 BSA B32 factory trials bike. Restoring it was my therapy back in the 90s when I was going thru a divorce. I took it to Sturbridge, the big British bike show, took Best British Single, put it back in the barn that night, and it's never been out since.
