About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Arielpost 2



The bike has now been stripped down and unbelievably this pile of Ariel is what we are not going to use. In addition I have what appears to be a complete Burman gear box in bits to go with it.

The intention was that Andy Pitt was going to have all that remained as he originally owned it, but as the time is not right Andy has had to pass and I have listed all my spare items on ebay.

Someone could have the basis of a pretty good trials bike for a reasonable price.

When you consider that a new frame is over £1000 and I doubt that this lot will reach anywhere close to that, it must be a good start to a fairly inexpensive project for the winner of the auction.

To be honest, an engine (£1000), pair of wheels (£4-500), Forks (£2-300) and £200 worth of cables, bars, levers and ancilliary bits and it seems that £2000 on top of my parts and someone has a really cheap Ariel that would be worth twice that just by putting it together.
