Best "Your Collection" yet. Incredible!
I had one years ago, never looked that good though!, nice job.
Wow. I had no idea they made bikes this nice when I was 2 yrs old. Now I'm fifty, and I still am amazed. That is one of the cleanest and amazing restorations I have seen. I'd love to try that bad boy out on the track. With the ear plugs inserted!
it's amazing how how narrow that bike was even back then. It would be really be cool to have a top rider take a couple timed laps on a new bike vs. this greeves 250 (if they would dare). That would be fun to see. ( at least for me, maybe i don't get out enough?)
Dang that thing was in rough shape but look at it now! That is a true peice of art!
My father sold Greeves and rode one of these in 62. I can attest to the noise. I was six in 62 and I think my ears are still ringing.
You have a very special and unique ride there. You can really be proud of what you have done by restoring this machine. When I was about six my neighbor road Greeves and he had one of these as the first bike I remember him having. He moved up through the years from this to a Challenger which had the same basic frame but they put an expansion chamber and I believe fiberglass tank on them. Then he went on to the Griffins which had the newer frames a lot more updates also last the leading link front end, after that he switched to racing desert. He switched to the husky eight-speed. He said the those forks were a ton to ride with. But those old Greeves got my blood pumping to ride and I've been on two- wheels since I was 5. I think he dealt with what was called Shell Motors in Lynwood in those days, they were well know back then. I think Gary Baily even road for them at one time, He told me some stories about the professor that were interesting. Great job though, my hats off to you!
Holy crap -- a two stroke with a headpipe and no muffler -- bet that baby is loud!! Beautiful restoration and congrats on a true showpiece!
Yeah looks like one could get a hot foot riding that bike, beautiful restoration.
