 Bridgestone Cycle Company - A Potted History
Bridgestone were able to survive, and in fact benefited from an influx of fresh engineers and designers (notably ex-Lilac and Tohatsu people) who transferred to BS when their original employers went bust.
Also, the Bridgestone Tyre Company were suppliers of O.E. tyres to the other Japanese motorcycle manufacturers, and it has been suggested that these firms may not have been too keen to carry on buying their tyres from a rival motorcycle maker when there were other sources available.
The BS name is nowadays associated with tyres and bicycles, but a significant number of Bridgestone motorcycles still exists in the U.K., U.S.A., and Australia, and their owners are keen that the marquee should not fade away and should be more than just a memory from years past.
