  • Nicholson Motors adverts from the USA.

    AMA motorcycling legend Nick Nicholson's dealership sold huge quantities of Greeves in the USA, and here are a couple of images depicting the style of advertising used to promote sales 'across the pond'.

    It's interesting to note the 'similar but different' feel to the layouts and typography used. Also note the 'trials' tyres, possibly 'flat track' type in the colour ad, (or should that be tires?!), fitted to the front wheels of both bikes. Very much an 'American Spec' mod, to cope with the sand and rocks found in the desert terrain where many of the bikes were ridden. I beleive that it was found they provided more stability in deep sand than standard knobblies (that's English for 'Knobbie' tires of course!)

    Hope you find them interesting.

    Brian,

    Per an earlier discussion regarding the MCS...this is a photo of the USA spec 24MCS/2. This one fitted with a 34A.
