Wright Motorcycles

The Wright motorcycle was produced circa 1913.

This rare make appeared shortly before World War I. It was fitted with a 5hp Blumfield engine and probably had cycle parts typical of the era and belt final-drive.

During that year, Hilary Greatwich, of Stourport, won his class at ten hill climbs.

This is possibly Sergeant-Major Hilary John Lloyd Greatwich, Royal Flying Corps, 1914-1922.
