Just kicking back, pondering stuff, to much idle time, mulling over we have no wheels to call our own. Jap , German, Italian, American, Austrian, Chinese, Russian, English ahh but yeah s#@t no Aussie bike. Could be wrong, no idea, ever built our own motorcycles????? read too much about the little Italian firms becoming big. Big ideas wishin I could start building or at least ride a bloody motorcycle with the aussie symbol adorning it. Q. What would it be - fire breathing or would I just ride it cause it was aussie even if it wasn't? cruiser, superbike, sport-t , muscle bike or small to mid range featherweight. hmmm? . Anybody think the same? Would you give your left gonad to ride one?

We have had small volume manufacturers who use somebody else's engines in their own frame design.
eg. Vee Two who manufactured the Alchemy and Super Squalo (they're Perth based too, can't beat that)

“Crashing is shit for you, shit for the bike, shit for the mechanics and shit for the set-up,” Checa told me a while back. “It’s a signal that you are heading in the wrong direction. You want to win but crashing is the opposite. It’s like being in France when you want to go to England and when you crash you go to Spain. That way you’ll never get to England!” -- Carlos Checa

Waratah motorcycles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waratah motorcycles were manufactured in Sydney, Australia, from before 1911 to around 1948, although Waratah badged motorcycles were sold into the 1950s.
They were Australia's longest running motorcycle manufacturer. However little information seems to have survived, presumably because these were low-value utility machines.One owner. Only driven gently on Sundays. Sold to best offer. First to see will buy. Reward offered for safe return. Coming soon to a cinema near you. Available for a limited time only.
My waterbed broke this morning. Oh, I don't have a waterbed. Bugger.

I work with Maurice Wesson, grandson of Maurice Thomas George Wesson of Wesson Motorcycles, produced in the 20's in Cohuna, Victoria and patented a triangulated swingarm with leaf spring suspension, and girder front end, also with leaf spring.
Unfortunatly, World War 1 intervened, and post war was not conducent to starting a fledgling manufacturing company in Australia. Some English motorcycle builders took some interest, but post war technology soon surpassed the bike and capacity of the small Australian manufacturer resulting in the company folding.
Its listed at the bottome of over 100 Australian manufacturers here...

It is somewhat distressing that there is very little information on Australian motorcycle history available.It has a dual purpose. ~ Tom Smitheringale
