The Crocker Speedway used an overhead-valve 30.50 cubic inch/500cc engine installed in a chassis designed by Crocker, and based on the dominant racing [[Rudge-Whitworth|Rudge]] speedway motorcycle. The official [[American Motorcyclist Association|AMA]] magazine ''The Motorcyclist'' (December 1930) noted the debut of the Crocker Speedway motorcycle: "…two spotless and keen pieces of racing equipment surely worthy of the best the country had to offer as their pilots. The first race was ridden by Jack Milne…speedman par excellence…and Cordy Milne….Two American-built night speedway racing engines swept the boards…9 first places and 3 second spots out of 12 starts…The call came suddenly for the builder, for Al Crocker who was in the pits…[He] came to the microphone. His speech was short, brief; just the sort of thing that the situation called for…He was glad that they [the bikes] were good…They would be better.”</div></td> </tr> </table><hr class='diff-hr' id='mw-oldid' /> <h2 class='diff-currentversion-title'>Revision as of 01:09, 25 November 2024</h2> <div class="mw-content-ltr mw-parser-output" lang="en" dir="ltr"><div class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">US motorcycle manufacturer</div> <p>The <b>Crocker Motorcycle Company</b> is an <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">American</a> manufacturer, based in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Los Angeles, California">Los Angeles, California</a>, founded by <a href="/wiki/Albert_Crocker" title="Albert Crocker">Albert Crocker</a>.

The Crocker V-twin was 80lbs lighter than the Harley-Davidson EL, with an increase of 10-15hp. The design of the Crocker <a href="/wiki/Chassis" title="Chassis">chassis</a> was unique, with the steel casting for the 3-speed <a href="/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical_device)" title="Transmission (mechanical device)">transmission</a> brazed directly into the frame. </p><p>Production appears to have begun in late 1935, as the first mention of the Crocker V-twin was in the February 1936 issue of 'The Motorcyclist'. Crocker Motorcycles had no manufacturing capacity, and used Paul Bigsby's technical drawings to outsource production of parts: aluminum fuel tanks, crankcases, and footboards, steel gears, shafts, and flywheels, etc. There is some suggestion that Al Crocker hoped to sell the design of his V-twin to Indian <sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>, who did not produce an OHV V-twin road machine, unlike its rival Harley-Davidson. According to <a href="/wiki/Floyd_Clymer" title="Floyd Clymer">Floyd Clymer</a>, a contemporary of Al Crocker who also owned an Indian dealership in the Los Angeles area, "After about four years, Mr. Crocker discontinued manufacturing, as his costs for custom-made limited production units were too high to compete with the large manufacturers"<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. Thus, Crocker V-twins were most likely built only between 1935-1940. </p><p>In 1940, Crocker advertised a new machine, the Scootabout scooter <sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>, using a Lauson TLC <a href="/wiki/Flathead_engine" title="Flathead engine">sidevalve</a> engine of 2.3hp, with an <a href="/wiki/Automatic_transmission" title="Automatic transmission">automatic (CVT) transmission</a><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. The Scootabout was advertised by Crocker through December 1941. It is unknown how many Scootabouts were produced. </p><p>Crocker V-twins are among the world's most expensive motorcycles today.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the <i>MidAmerica Auctions</i> motorcycle auction in January 2007 in Las Vegas, a 1941 Crocker big tank motorcycle sold for $230,000.
