The Story of Rudge Motorcycles
By Peter Hartley
printed in Great Britain 1985, 127 pages
PSL Motorcycle books.
Although a comparative latecomer to the British motorcycle industry,
Rudge Whitworth was in 1910 already well established on a sound foundation
as a successful bicycle manufacturer and swiftly achieved success in its
new business. Much of the company's rapid growth was attributable to one
man - John Pugh - whose drive and energy soon made Rudge a market leader
in terms of technical innovation. In fact, the company's incorporation
of many mechanical details to improve performance, reliability and economy
was almost too advanced for the day, since they inevitably forced the price
of the motor cycles up at a time when, due to the Depression, other manufacturers
were fighting to keep prices down. Rudge's technical excellence emerged
clearly in the marques racing results, although in one sense the company
penalized itself by refusing to create one off specials, insisting that
the machines it raced should be as close as possible to regular production
motorcycles. In this book Peter Hartley examines not just Rudge motorcycles
themselves, but also the people behind their success, and it is interesting
to speculate on what further accomplishments might have been achieved
had the company not ceased to exist as a motorcycle manufacturer during
the second world war. With its wealth of rare photographs to complement
the author's authoritative text, this is a book which will appeal to all
veteran and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts.
