We used to make things in this country (Australia edition) GCS Motorcycles


 Another appearance of the J.A.P. V twin. This is one of the last models built.

The GCS was a motorcycle produced in Australia from 1912-1923, assembled by George Cyril Stillwell from mostly imported components and using engines from JAP, Reading-Standard and MAG. After a year or two the production was contracted out to the A.G. Healing manufacturing company. That company was making bicycles at the time, later making radios and appliances, and finally going bankrupt in the early seventies.

The bike had a good repuation but production was never very high and the motorcycle is now very rare.
