Its about 1 1/2 years I contacted you for the last time, but due to
lot's of other work
I had very little time to enjoy my own hobby.
My to girls (daughters) booth bought a older house that needed some
fixes, almost at
the same time and were begging for help. So what does someone do, when
he loves his daughters. Yes.......! Their houses are almost finish and
Daddy can take some breath again..... :-))
Four Belgian young people planned to write " The book" about all
Belgian motor & moped brands, a vademecum about all Belgian ever made
motorcycles and mopeds, and asked me for help.
So by surfing though the web, I visited your excellent site, looking
for stuff about Belgian
motorcycles and saw a lot of questions of owners on your site of Gillet
Herstal.
Therfore I will send you the next very complete site about Gillet,
with a lot of documentations, plans, manuals, links, frame-numbers, etc.
http://www.gillet-herstal.be/
You really have to take a look. If you need some translations,
please send me a @-note.
On this site you also can command the best book about Gillet Herstal
Motorcycles :
" De Gillet Herstal Motorfietsen, 1919-1959 " of the autor
"Yves Campion"
Hope to hear from you soon,
regards,

Gillet-Herstal MC
Hello.
I was visiting with a friend last night when he brought out a stack
of photos of a motorcycle project he has locked away in a shed. He inherited
it from his father who purchased it in the 1950's. He was told it is a
Gillet-Herstal. It only has one marking - what looks like a G in a circle
cast into the motor.
While it is rusty and lacking the exhaust, the rest is pretty much there
and in fairly good condition for its age. The headlamp is not a teardrop
shape, but more like a hatbox. The handlebar is fairly long and almost
straight. It is an interesting bike, indeed.
I have sent your website URL to him and advised him to contact you SOON.
His name is Rick Herrera.
I am Charles Childers, Rathdrum, Idaho, USA

Bonjour à vous tous!
Je vous écris de Savoie en France et vous envoie
les photos de ma Gillet herstal dont je ne connait absolument rien car
elle n'a pas de carte grise. J'aimerai savoir le modéle, l'année,
la cylindrée pour pouvoir changer les éléments qui
ne sont pas d'origine comme apparement les freins et le phare et pouvoir
faire faire une nouvelle carte grise. Est-ce une tour du monde?entre 1925
et 1935? une 250 ou une 350? Merci à vous d'avance pour votre aide
et à bientot j'espere sur la route... -- Xavier Laurent

Hello to all!
I write to you from Savoy in France and I'm sending some
photographs of my Gillet herstal (not sure about this part but
think it is:) Which I cannot operate because it is not licensed. I
would like to know the model, the year and the cubic capacity so that I
can replace the non-standard parts, such as brakes and lights, with originals
so that I can get it licensed. Is this a monde? year 1925 or
1935? a 250 or a 350? Thank you in advance for your assistance and
soon I hope to have it on the road... -- Xavier Laurent

Dear sirs,
I own a Gillet-Herstal 350cc (1950). The bike was in
Uruguay for many years, then it was carried to Argentina where it was restored
and where I bought it. I cannot find information about this particular
model or how much is it worth.
I would greatly appreciate any information about this
bike if you happen to know anything about it. I enclose pictures.
Thank you kindly for your help!

Hi,
I am looking for a copy of "De Gillet Herstal Motorfietsen
- 1919-1959" by Yves Campion. I am not sure of the year butr it was published
by Uitgeverij Freson. I got about 20 pages copied and sent to me by Geert
over at Yesterdays Motorcycles to help me date my 1929 "Tour Du Mode".
It has lots of good pictures. I am also looking for any manuals, (reprints
O.K.) that would help me with the restoration. Anyone else have one of
these 349cc sport models? -- Dave King -- Dpplking

I just read an advertisement in the July 23, 2001 Union
Leader newspaper (Manchester, New Hampshire) for a 1950 Gillet-Herstal
motorcycle. It was an unknown brand to me, so I did a web search and came
to this siteto learn more. If anyone is interested, the ad says the bike
is a restored 500cc Belgian Military model and they are asking $4,500 (US)
or best offer for it. The contact number is 603-644-2547. --

Dear friends
Can anyone help my friend Mike Gillett? He has
no email, but he does have a rather nice 1931 Gillet-Herstal 500cc Sport
(see attached) which regularly graces the lanes of the northern Lake District
in England. Mike has three documents he'd love to be able read to
find out more about his bike, but none of them is in English.
-There is a manual which I think is in German
-A history of Gillet-Herstal in French
-And something else which I think must be Flemish.
Has anyone got any of these documents translated into
English? Mike is particularly interested to find out what magneto
and dynamo were fitted to the original model. And if you can't help,
please do you have links to other G-H enthusiasts who may be able to?
-- Many thanks -- Alison Turnbull -- alisont

Dear Sir,
I'm the owner of this Gillet-Herstal 1920 motorcycle.
Frame No: M.1223.. I'm repairing the engine and transmission to top
condition. Like new. All else is original paint and condition,
but I have no tire. Can you tell to me the orginal tire size?
Rim diameter is 22 inc or (560 mm) x 2.1/4" (57 mm)
If you know possible tire company for beaded-edge tire,
can you give address to me.
Does anyone know how many bikes like this still exist?
My bike is for sale and I would like to know what it
is worth. For example US - $ or Euro.
I'm a professional mechanic, I know this bike is very
rare today.
Please help me.
2 pictures show my bike. I have more if you would like
to see them.

Hi,
I have a mostly complete and restored Gillet Herstal
500 cc for sale.
Do you know of any people looking for these quite unusual
MC's? Most parts rechromed and repainted in very good condition.
(you probably know the cost of rechroming, and it's very well done)
New tires and tubes (from Vintage tyres, no old dry stuff) but I need
new spokes. Missing is only the original handlebar and the gear wheel
for the generator (which is new) The bike comes along with
a number of extra parts including oil tank, carburetors, hubs, head lamp
housing and engine and gear box details. Asking price is Eur 3200
