Ariel Square Four

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Nice bikes, nearly had one embedded in the left wing of the Golf this afternoon. If you were the rider of an Olive green Ariel Square Four this afternoon in Northampton, please bear in mind that your bike can't do stoppies, and as such you need to start braking some time before you sail out onto the roundabout whilst I'm on it.

Perhaps he's not been out on it for a bit and changed up a gear instead of applying the back brake?

And believe me kids, on a bike of that vintage, it's all about the back brake, you can stomp on that with your full weight which might stand a chance of slowing it down a bit.

Aswell as old riders should be retested at 75, old vehicles should be tested when 50 years old, and if they cant stop in a minimum distance, they shouldnt be allowed on the road.

I'm all for being unique but if we have MOTs to make sure vehicles are up to scratch, there should be a minimum stand for braking distance.

Imagine the long life of an Ariel Square Four being brought to an end by a VW Golf
