Taking Orders For The New Crocker Motorcycle

Published by Cyril Huze October 10th, 2006 in Chassis and Editorial.

When the first Crocker road machines blasted onto the scene in 1936, it astonished the motorcycling community and single-handedly caused Harley-Davidson and Indian more grief than any event up to the British motorcycle invasion of the 1950’s. Founder Al Crocker invented machines that were well ahead of their time in design and function. The innovative styling was equally matched by record-breaking performance. So confident was Al Crocker with his magnificent machines that he offered to refund the full purchase price to any buyer who was beaten by a rider on a factory stock Harley or an Indian. No refund was ever given. The three speed transmission could withstand incredible amounts of torque. A unique proprietary engine featuring overhead valves was released to the public months ahead of Harley’s venerable "Knucklehead". About a hundred Crocker Twins were built before the economic climate of the times determined a new path for Al Crocker. Conservative estimates of an original Crocker’s value could be in the range of $200,000 U.S.

The Crocker is back and will be sold in kit form. Accurate Engineering has been contracted to produce the original motorcycle engine. Crocker Motorcycle Company will produce 100 kits as their 1st production run with deliveries starting in Spring 2007.

    August 2007 … the Crocker website is already dead, so I guess that spells the end of another good idea gone south.

    Just talked To Crocker. They are not closed. Apparently a technical issue with their website.

    We would love to go south, but for now we are staying in Toronto. Sorry about our site being down. I just discovered it when Cyril gave me a call. We are currently experiencing technical dificulties with our website and hope to have it resolved by tomorrow.
    At least you thought it was a good idea! Thanks Mark.
