[alittlelost]

hello,

first off...i'm a complete bike novice! Righty, i'm looking to tap into yopur fountain of knowledge! I know very little about this bike, it has belonged to my grandad since new when he bought it in 1955 and was lovingly restored about 7 or 8 years ago (still runs on 4star LRP). apart from the fact it's an Ariel Twin (1955) 500cc I know nothing about it. could anyone give me anymore info about it or where i may be able to find some good sources of information and ultimately a place to sell such an item as my grandads detierating health means he wants to get rid of it
