Why doesn't anyone make their own engines anymore? 100 years ago people built simple V twins now bupkiss. Burt monroe built his cylinders out of an old water pipe and it ran over 100 MPH.
Funny that Orange County Choppers with all the hoopla have yet to make their own V twin. The design is over 100 years old. Come on it ain't that tough. Men have made more with much less.
We are still here

I live in Invercargil,New Zealand where Burt Monroe came from.
All of his bikes are here on display at a local hardware store.
I found his grave today when I was at the cemetary.
There are two pictures on the headstone from his trips to Bonneville
