    Founded by Frank Bowden, Raleigh built motorcycles in from 1899 to 1906, and
    then from 1919 to 1933 in Nottingham, England. They supplied engines to Allegro,
    Dunelt, Coventry-Eagle, Mars, Nestoria, Cotton, Soyer, Wolf and Victoria, among
    others. Their post-war 698cc flat-twins of 1919 were true luxury bikes developed
    while Works manager William Comery held the reins, but these proved difficult to
    manufacture competitively and production ceased in 1923 or 1924,
