Hi. Just a quick message as I’m a newbie here. I thought the BTSC would be a good club to join as I’ve just recently bought a 1964 Francis Barnett Sports Cruiser 91 that used to belong to a BTSC member.
I’ll post a picture when I learn how and I’m sure some of you members will know the bike.
I’ve had many bikes since I was about 12 years old and never really been without one since except for the odd year break here and there.
I’ve bought this one cos I’m retiring soon and I’ve finished with the modern bikes now.
I had a Royal Enfield with a Villiers 2T engine when I was 16 so this one’s a blast from the past for me I liked the engine so I got this one. It’s a 4T engine in this bike.
As a teenager there was about 8 of us with various bikes that all had the Villiers twin engines and they were great bikes to have at that age on a learners license.
I’m looking forward to having my first ride on it soon and I’m sure I’ll have loads of questions to ask when I do.
Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul
Welcome to the BTSC. Villiers twins are not something that I have had much experience with, but we do have a BTSC Marque Specialist for them Nigel Stennett-Cox. If you do have any questions post them and I will do my best to help.
Regards Butty Bach

Hello Paul, Welcome to the group. In my teenage years i had a Cotton with a 2T engine. Loved that bike, it was so reliable and fun to ride. I have another Cotton now, a Herald with a 2T engine, still need a few cycle parts but it will be mobile soon. Also have an 1956 spanish bike fitted with a hispano villiers engine. Cracking little bike. You will find members extremely willing to help with any questions you may have. Regards Graham

As Paul has asked, could anyone advise how to attach photos to a posting. There doesn't seem to be a way in quick reply. Thanks

Ah, think I've just found the answer. Click on reply rather than type in quick reply.
