HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF BRITISH MOTORCYCLES IS A LONG AND
VARIED ONE,WITH MANY FIRSTS AND INOVATIONS,ALSO SOME WEIRED AND WONDERFUL
MODELS,I WILL NOT GO INTO GREAT DETAIL AT THIS TIME AS IT WOULD FILL LOADS
OF PAGES,BUT BOOKS I WOULD RECOMMEND,WOULD BE BOOKS
BY BOB CURRIE,BOOKS BY HAYCRAFT,THE PITMAN
SERIES,PEARSON,ILIFFE,AND IXION.TO NAME BUT A FEW.I
MUST ADD THAT BOB CURRIE WAS A FRIEND OF
MINE AND IN MY OPINION WHAT HE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT BRITISH MOTORCYCLES
WAS NOT WORTH KNOWING,I AND MANY OTHERS DEARLY MISS THIS GREAT MAN.

THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT AS TO WHO INVENTED
THE FIRST MOTORCYCLE ?.WAS IT BUTLER OR DAIMLER? WELL I BELIEVE IT WAS
BUTLER [BRITISH] EVEN MORE SO AFTER CHECKING THE RECORDS IN MORE DETAII.
