Australian Motorcycles

Australian Motorcycle History

Leon Mitchell of Adelaide, South Australia, has been documenting the subject for a good many years, and many of his topics are covered in considerable depth.

For instance, there is the story of Mlle. Serpolette who toured SA in the late 1890s on a Gladiator powered tricycle.

The Lewis Cycle and Motor Works is covered - they are believed to have built Australia's first motorcycle.

Other articles discuss early Rudge, FN and Norton motorcycles.
