Packman & Poppe Motorcycles

Packman & Poppe (P&P) was a British motorcycle manufacturer.

Founded by Erling Poppe and Gilmour Packman the first motorcycle was produced in 1922 with a 250 cc (15 cu in) two-stroke engine.

This was followed by a 976 cc (59.6 cu in) side-valve machine with a JAP V-twin engine in 1923 and the Silent Three using a 350 cc (21 cu in) Barr and Stroud sleeve-valve engine.

Packman & Poppe entered three machines in the 1925 Isle of Man TT.

In the same year the Packman & Poppe factory was destroyed by a fire and in 1926 sold to John Wooler, who kept up production until the Depression, in 1930.
