Hi. Im Tim and have not long got into trials riding with a local club. My bike is a 1965 Greeves TFS which I have recently put back together after being in boxes for the last 35 years. Its interesting riding the same sections as the modern bikes, though I am riding the beginners routes for the time being!

Hi  welcome to the forum,it's a long time since I have seen a square barrelled villiers .Hope you enjoy your trials I assume you have joined the Eastbourne club?

I'm a past member but still ride for the Gest club so might see you sometime.

Hi floydbassman,enjoy your bike & this site,loads of information here for those who need it. I bought a new TFS when they were current. Brilliant to ride on the road,they steered so well,would never do anything nasty to you,even on nearly flat tyres. Mine had a very slow even & steady idle,that's what I remember most. Often wish I still had it.Regards,John.

Nice to see an original looking bike.

I would suggest you seek advice about those footrests though, as to comply with the A.C.U. they need to be folding and you may get stopped from riding by an enthusiastic machine examiner.

I agree get rid of those footrests they are leg breakers

 

Thanks for the welcome guys. I was going to ride at a GEST trial last week but it was cancelled due to bad weather affecting car parking, but I will come to some future events soon. since I took this photo I hve done a couple of mods to the bike including folding footrests, I had problems with the original internal ignition coil failing when hot, no solved by using a lighting coil to power an external ignition coil and external condenser. I did a trial this weekend and the bike performed faultlessly. (just got to tweak the rider now!). Next job is to make a bashplate to protect the engine cases, I added a nice battlescar to the primary case...
