Ariel Motorcycle a History 1870 -1967

#motorcycle #ariel #vintagephotos #scottishsixdaytrials
We bring to life the story of Ariel spanning nearly a century, from 1870 to 1967 through a blend of vivid narration, historical footage and vintage black and white photographs with animation and Colour.
We begin our journey in the bustling industrial age of the 1870s, exploring the inception of Ariel Motorcycles and how they swiftly became a beacon of engineering ingenuity. Witness the evolution of design and technology through a carefully curated showcase of Ariel's most popular and influential models.
No story of Ariel would be complete without the legendary Sammy Miller. We pay special homage to his extraordinary achievements in trials competition.
Some artistic licence has been used to enhance the experience.

Although my grandfather rode an AJS, the Ariel name holds a special place in my heart and is also synonymous with my childhood. I have the South African DJ to thank for that.

With the resurrection of Triumph and Norton it’d be wonderful to see the same happen for Ariel

Why there are so many 'Ariel' pictures created by AI? It ruins the whole video. What is the point of showing models which never existed with the Ariel logo?

@@user-hy9yd2zf1o Hi I am sorry you feel that way, I did use AI as an artistic tool to help tell the story just like I used editing software, photoshop and colourization. I was running out of good images to help tell the story. Back in the early days of motorcycles photography was expensive and colour didn't come along till the 1930s. Also public domain images in the UK are held tight by the various museums and libraries and they charge outrageous prices for their use unlike the USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand where they allow the general public to use these images for free as they should.
