Moto Guzzi V7/Ambassador/Eldorado/850 Probably redirect all these to a single-page history of this series. Main articles on each one later, if desired.
Wire wheels: Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article: Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection. Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression.
"In 1903, Wyman rode his 1902 California Motorcycle Company motor bicycle..." The link from California Motorcycle Company in this sentence leads to the Indian Motocycle (sic) Manufacturing Company page, but from reading that page and the page for the California Motor Company (there is no page for any "California Motorcycle Company") it appears there was no connection between the two companies. While the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company was based in Springfield, Mass, the California Motor Company was based in San Francisco, Ca and was bought by Consolidated Manufacturing who moved the machinery to Toledo, Ohio, where they manufactured Yale/California and then Yale motorcycles. Consolidated Manufacturing stopped making motorcycles in 1915. The California Motor Company page also states that this company manufactured the machine that Wyman rode (which, having pedals was actually a moped rather than a motorcycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped), as does the National Motorcycle Museum website: https://nationalmcmuseum.org/featured-bikes/bike-feature-1914-yale-twin/Robert P Connolly (talk) 10:56, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
