ABC motorcycles was a British motorcycle manufacturer established in 1914 by Ronald Charteris in London. Several British motorcycle firms started up with the name "ABC", including Sopwith. The All British Engine Company Ltd. of London was founded in 1912 and later changed to ABC Motors Ltd.

With chief engineer Granville Bradshaw, Charteris built a range of engines throughout the First World War. From 1913 ABC produced motorcycle engines.

Bradshaw was an innovator and in 1918, ABC made a 500 cc transverse-mounted flat-twin engine several years before BMW adapted the design. (Bradshaw challenged BMW's use of his patented design in 1926.)

and in 1919 ABC also produced the Scootamota � the first motorised "scooter". The company stopped producing motorcycles after 1923 because of competition from cheaper manufacturers.

OS2 Cruz has gone to a far, far better rest than she has ever known, and today all Lincoln warriors fight in her name." The memorial was posted by the Lincoln's public affairs team Friday, the day the Department of Defense released the identity of 26-year-old Navy Petty Officer Dominique Cruz, known to family and friends as Dominique McNair. The Panama City woman's body was found during search and rescue operations Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman, located between the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea south of the Iranian coast. Navy officials said Sunday they had no new information about McNair's death except to confirm the incident is still under investigation. Friends and family have declined requests for comments about McNair, but dozens of supporters have shared their thoughts and prayers through Facebook postings.
