Ridley Motorcycles throws in the towel

(Come on! Stick that lip in, wipe away those tears! It’s too late to cry about it now.)

Alas, poor Ridley Motorbikes, we barely knew ye, but looking back at them now I’d say they were one of the few modern motorized bicycles I could actually get excited about. Vintage looks, 70cc engines, certainly inadequate brakes… well, we’d have to do something about that last part.

Even though they put up a good fight in 2008, it seems 2009 and a seven year legal battle with Harley were too much for this little company to bear. *snif* Don’t you just wanna give ‘em a hug? Poor guys.
