'''AJS''' was founded by '''Albert John Stevens''' (hence the name) in Wolverhampton around 1900. AJS won the Junior TT in 1914, but their greatest racing accomplishments came later, memorably when '''[[Les Graham]]''' won the first ever 500cc world championship on the Porcupine twin in 1949. | '''AJS''' was founded by '''Albert John Stevens''' (hence the name) in Wolverhampton around 1900.
