she's a real rare beauty. Not sure of the year but Crocker made bikes until 1942. This is 1 of 60 V-Twins they made.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Yes, the remaining Crockers were going for really big money last year amongst the collectors.

Crockers are great, nearly the equal to the Brough. They were made to order and unfortunately, they did very well at dirt track racing, so a lot of them were run to death.

If I ever had the good fortune to own a Crocker I'd have to name her Betty.

Nice, one of my dream machines. last I saw they were selling way above six figures. I guess there's just some things in life we aren't suppose to have.
