Artifact Overview

Greyhound motorcycles were products of the Auto-Bi Company of Buffalo, New York. They were advertised as being the most comfortable in their class due to patented shock absorbers in the seat tube and on the front fork. Also of note are the Greyhound's belt drive and auxiliary foot pedals, which allowed it to be pedaled to a start.
