3. DMW Motorcycles
|
DMW was the last motorcycle manufacturer in the Black Country. The company, which closed in the mid 1990s was also one of the longest survivors, having produced motorcycles for about 50 years. The company was, and still is well-known amongst trials and racing enthusiasts, and has had many racing triumphs. DMW machines are still used at sporting events, and will probably still be in use for many years to come. During its lifetime DMW produced about 15,000 machines, and many manufacturers used the company's forks, and in later years its engines.
