Bluebird

Bluebird was a motorcycle produced circa 1920s.

Post World War I, a revised form of artillery wheel had been patented by John Thomas Ireland and a Mr Johnston. This wheel was for cars but it was not a commercial success. In the early 1920s John Ireland turned his attention to motorcycles and produced some machines under the Bluebird name. Most were fitted with V-twin JAP engines.

There is an interesting article from an owner of one of these machines in Australia [1]. The pictures are taken from his web site.

It is an Australian machine, assembled by A. G. Healingin, Melbourne, Australia.
