This is a picture of a 1966
Greeves Eastcoaster with a 250cc Villiers 4t, 2
stroke engine which he has owned since about 1977
. This classic motorcycle was stolen and smashed
to pieces by some rather naughty boys in 1980 and
was restored to this condition then .It now has
an original tank and badges, to replace the badly
damaged one Delboy painstakingly repaired and
used up favours to get signwritten. I learnt to
ride a motorcycle on this actual bike when I was
about ten, and it is still a lovely bike to ride.
This is an unusual machine, an ex british
police bike used mainly in Wales and the West
country. It is a 1965 DMW Deemster powered by a
250cc Villiers 2t engine. Del has owned it for
around 8 years but has not attempted a
restoration . DMW was a small company in the
midlands which produced several original styles
of motorcycle, but the Deemster was one which
really never caught on.
