| villiers:
I'm another Aussie who's a sucker for playing in machine shops. My main interest is ancient motorcycles and I particularly like small ones powered by Villiers. I have other bikes but creaking bones see me riding smaller and lighter ones than I did in the past. Most of my machine shop work is making parts for my various beasties. |

Hi there Villers :wave: welcome to the clubhouse. Tim |
| Bernd:
Welcome to the collective villers. :borg: You sound like you have a very interesting hobby there. Never heard of the bike engines you mention. Would be interesting to see a pic of one of those. Post it in our Gallery section when and if you can. Thanks. :nrocks: Bernd |

Welcome Villiers .. show is the piccys ... most of us can't read .... :scratch: Bernd Villiers engines went in many UK bikes. James, Francis-Barnett, Greeves, Sun, Excelsior, Norman Just a few off the top of me Bald Old Head. Probably lots more. Very succesful in Trials bikes. I had a James (Captain?) 197 cc 2/S For a few weeks ... until the damned things timing slipped and it ran backwards.. Not an uncommon occurence :( Went back to OHV. Never had another 2/stroke. L.M.F. EDIT ...also a lot used in Lawn mowers, cultivators, generators etc. . Dave BC |
