I've never seen a Douglas, but my father said that one of my uncles had one
in his youth (1930's I guess or earlier).  It was a horizontally opposed
twin running fore/aft like the first BMW made by Max Friz (1923).

The Greeves was a two stroke single dirt bike (early fifties to mid sixties).

No data mentioned in my "Classic Motorcycles" re Douglas, just
the name mentioned.

AAMOI Enfields are still made under license in India.

ps.  Jill wants to know why you don't ride anymore?  She says "how do
you expect to pull the chicks?"
