        Nice John!

        Someday I would like to visit, look up my family roots and take a ride on a Greeves road bike!

            The East Coaster was supposed to have been an Export model to the USA, hence the high rise bars. Dont think it took off as you guys liked the more beefy Triumph's & BSA's. Maybe if Bert Greeves had pursued with a TriGreeves in Trail form it may have been a better bet.
            The Suffolk lanes are an ideal stomping ground for the Greeves roadsters, 50 mph crusing & plenty of bend swinging.

              John,

              I still need to look up Kathy's road bike number for you. It's in storage for now...same as yours but in blue with the high rise bars.

              I have a 61 (?) 25DC with the 2T, but needs a major restoration.

              So many projects and little time!

              Kenny

                  Couldn't agree more Malcolm! Isn't it great to see a Greeves out on the roads being enjoyed, and in such a lovely location.

                  The trials gearing on my TCS makes for an 'interesting experience' on modern roads on the occasions when I've ventured out on it. Mind you, a bit of extra oil in the tank makes for a good smokescreen to keep all the nutters at bay...!

                    Simply BEAUTIFUL!

                    Beautiful bike and scenery!
                    I am soo glad you are able to ride and enjoy such a beauty!
                    Dave and I have been thinking of looking for an East Coaster to restore...we moved here from AZ, the west coast.

                    Very nice all around!

                    Thanks for sharing the pictures and the ride!
