In standard trim, the Ariel Red Hunter went faster in third gear than in fourth.

I notice that none of those old motorcycles are fitted with rear view mirrors.

Huh!

That is not something I had ever observed. I wonder when they became compulsory.

FWIW the first mirror used in cars was a racing car at Indianapolis Speedway. In the early 1930’s I think.
