Gough Special

Caption to an undated photograph reads: "Gough-Special motorcycle expected to break the Australia speed record of 127 mph designed and built in Launceston by Mr W Gough right."

Built by Bill Gough, the motorcycle has a slightly inclined horizontally-opposed twin engine, a saddle tank and rigid rear end. Another of his machines was powered by a BSA M20 and is thought to be in a Launceston museum. It is pictured in Old Bike Australia issue 57.


Gray

Retailed by Alfred H. Gray of Glenhuntly Road, Elsterwick, Victoria in 1912 and later. The machine was likely a rebadged Healing, for whom Gray was an agent.
