C.Wylde & Son Motorcycles was established in 1937 when trains and horses were a common sight ascending the cobbled gradient of Roundhay Road. Doctors and wealthy business people occupied the palatial houses in nearby Spencer Place. Clarence, started the business on an evening and weekend basis until confident enough to give up his full time occupation of van driver for the nearby Slacks Bakery. Th
e business is still thriving selling worldwide on our secure internet shop on line store. The wheelbuilding side of the operation is extremely busy, and wheels appear from all over the UK and Europe for our attention, be they classic, modern or competition. The highlight of the wheelbuilding operation was when we were approached by a company supplying machines for the Sylvester Stallone movie "Judge Dredd". We were commissioned to build the wheels for the space bikes, which led to the burning of quite a bit of midnight oil.
