Orange County Choppers latest "creation" using a Lister cement mixer engine and absolutely no thought whatsoever

Test rode a Buell before I bought the V11. Vibrated like a jackhammer[ ten times worse than my old shovelhead].Looked great but functionally flawed in my opinion tho Ibelieve the new ones are a big improvement. When I got back to the dealers he noticed part of the rear brake assy had disappeared. No, I didnt buy it......

The Brough company used either JAP(J A Prestwich and sons) or matchless v-twins

The first one is a Brough Superior called "coppernob" I think it was used at Brooklands for record attempts in the twenties
