GREEVES – ALL OFF-ROAD, ROAD AND ROAD-RACING MOTORCYCLES
WRITTEN BY ROB CARRICK / MICK WALKER

Published in 1988

SIGNED BY ROB CARRICK

When Bert Greeves produced a motorcycle to test an invalid carriage suspension system, little did he realize that it would soon go on to dominate the off-road racing scene throughout the 1950s, 1960s and on into the 1970s. But it did just that, and provided the basis for lines of succesful road racers and roadsters too.
In this unique account, Bob Garrick and Mick Walker provide a detailed history of the company, its motorcycles and the victories that made Greeves one of the legendary names in British motorcycle sport.
