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.

  • 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

  • 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.
