MILLERS & CROCKERS

AMERICA AT IT'S FINEST

Bicycles

Yes sir,

No leaks.

No electronics.

No sparkle paint.

No braking your foot starting.

Quiet.

P.C.

I'm moving on baby...

Who am I kidding, I know I am a hypocrite...

I wish I could, But I am an addict, & just can't leave the heavy pigs behind...

1939 SOAP BOX NAT'L CHAMPION & MONACO YAUGHT CLUB CHILD'S BOAT

FOR REAL! This is some fine wood work with 1st rate provenance.

They both take enough space for a bike... which take precedence.

Any Roller looking for a unique piece for trade... lets see what you got!

The camera add 10lbs... BS

There is at least 10+ on that disgusting gut of mine!

ARGENTINA

Next to Cali, more Vincents were sold in Argentina than Great Britain.

I spent 2 years there & it is a magical place.

My favorite automotive oil painter is a friend named Jose de la Maria. He capture motion like no one else.

This other Argentine, James Corbett, who John Reed turned me onto, uses as found found objects fro the 50's & 60's & creates wonderful sculptures...

For the money he's got me beat!

CHAMPION

Thanks TAKA-san

My favorite William Shakespeare quote;

the lawyers..."

VINCENT BLACL LIGHTNING 1952

Each year I build 1 to 3 bikes, but they are generally very specific & early factory racing machines of little interest to the motorcycling community as a whole.

On occasion I indulge myself in creating a custom from something that should really have a proper restoration.

Then I ride it to death.

This is my take on a well know classic. It is VERY far from stock, but I am happy with the results.

If you don't like it, or have ideas on improvement, by all means, please send me photos of the Vincent Black Lightning you customized lately.

Like a girl with too much make up!

Okay Poon... let's narrow some VARD's

A manifold or two...

This is more than on level deep!

Jake & my Pops are the unsung FLATHEAD heroes!

After dinner with my friends from FALCON...

CRAW DADDYS may be in the endangered species list!

My 18 year old son, Cary, in Maranello test driving Ferraris

I have always wanted to see the factory & museum.

I've dreamed of a Ferrari(vintage), but they are down on my wish list by a few dozen specific motorcycles.

1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson

Oh, said Red Molly to James, "That's a fine motorbike

A girl could feel special on any such like"

Says James to Red Molly, "My hat's off to you

It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952

And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems

Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme"

And he pulled her on behind

And down to Fox Hill, they did ride

Oh, says James to Red Molly, "Here's a ring for your right hand

But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man

For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen

I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine

Now I'm twenty-one years, I might make twenty-two

And I don't mind dying, but for love of you

And if fate should break my stride

Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride

"Come down, come down, Red Molly," called Sergeant McRae

"For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery

Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside

Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"

When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left

He was running out of road, he was running out of breath

But he smiled to see her cry

And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride

Says James, "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world

Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl

Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves's won't do

Ahh, they don't have a soul like a Vincent '52"

Oh, he reached for her hand then slipped her the keys

He said, "I've got no further use for these

I see angels on Ariels, in leather and chrome

Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"

And he gave her one last kiss and died

And gave her his Vincent to ride

the odometer may read 00001...

I actually have a few hundred miles on her.

She doesn't even more up until about 20 miles & is scaring in 3rd & stupid in 4th.

okay, this guy pulled it off.

I've seen Larry do it a dozen times. (one too many)

I've seen Rhett do it in a barrel, on a vertical plain.

I've seen Jason slip, scream like a girl, pull out of it & send chills down my spine.

I've done it.

I've always hated the stupidity of it, yet I found this photo, stole it from some other blog & must admit, this champ is ruling.

always look on the bright side of life
