Once great names from British motorcycle past, being used to market ugly heaps of shite, first it was Ariel this time it is Matchless. This will doubtless come up again on the MCN feed but I felt sufficiently distressed to post it my self.

I liked the standard forked front end version, wasn't keen on the girder front
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Ariel Ace, proof that even with girder forks some bikes will never look good.

The Ariel Ace looks like a Ducati Monster raped a stranded wale.
