Stinkwheels & Gibson Exhausts
Our story
History timeline
The iconic Allspeed exhaust was the brainchild of Peter Gibson. Peter raced his motorcycles across Europe for several years and had started building expansion chambers for his own race bikes, when fellow racers asked Peter to build some for them.
This turned into Peter’s full-time job when he left work in the London docks to start his business 1977
The Allspeed name was a suggestion made from an electrician who was wiring up Peter’s new workshop at the time. Pete thought it was a great idea and the Allspeed brand was created.
During the 1980’s an Allspeed was the exhaust everyone wanted on their Yamaha LC, YPVS and two stroke motorcycle.
1988 Allspeed Advert
When Pete looked at the Yamaha TZ end can he decided that this size and design would best suit the Allspeeds. This design was the original ‘small can’ option. The large can was designed to be a quieter option in 1984 as the new BSAU motorcycle noise regulations were introduced.
Pete sold the company (but importantly not the Allspeed brand name) in 1985 to Wheelies & Co in South London. A year later Wheelies & Co sold out to Micron Exhausts. Micron realised that the Allspeed name was still Peter’s so Micron’s exhausts were branded a very similar ‘Genuine Allspeed’. Peter changed his business name to Gibson Exhausts and went onto build race exhausts for many top racers and teams during the late 1980’s and 1990’s.Rebirth of Allspeeds
Allspeeds had not been manufactured for many years when Tony Greenslade approached Peter Gibson to ask him to make some for the RD350LC.
Peter still had the original patterns, jig and tooling in the corner of the workshop covered in inches of dust. After some persuasion Pete made 10 sets which were sold before there was a chance to advertise them. Further models were added to the range and have been available from Gibson Exhausts since 2003.
When Pete retired, Tony Greenslade took over the business.
In 2017 our Allspeed brand has been resurrected and Trademarked by us.
We are and have always been ‘Allspeeds manufactured in Essex’.
2003
Tony Greenslade purchased Gibson Exhausts and was trained by Peter for several years before Peter retired to Australia. Tony resurrected the manufacturing of Allspeed expansion chambers as well as the one-off exhausts.
2014-2015
Tony was joined by his wife Claire. Claire re-organised the business to concentrate on the most popular models of the Allspeed range, whilst improving the manufacturing process and listening to customers needs.
2018
The brand name ‘Allspeed’ was trademarked and is now officially owned by Tony Greenslade. Allspeed and the Gibson Exhausts Brands were incorporated into the one existing company Stinkwheels.
2019
Allspeed are now re-launching models such as the Suzuki GT750, Yamaha TZR125 and Honda NS125F/R.
