It has been over sixty years since the last Crocker rolled out of 1346 Venice Boulevard in Downtown Los Angeles, and along the way there has been a dedicated group of enthusiasts who understood the unique qualities of America's first true "Super Bike" and would not let it fade into obscurity.
he torch was taken up by the New "Crocker Motorcycle Company" in 1997 when we first began to produce parts out of sheer love for the machine.
After an enthusiastic response to the few high quality parts we had produced for one of America's top restorers, the dream began to turn into reality as we started to plan the resurection of this iconic American classic.
In 2001 steps began to trademark Crocker Motorcycle Company World-wide. An aggressive stance was taken to accelerate our parts-making process, and the quest was on to create all the parts needed to assemble complete and exact reproductions of the coveted "Big Tank" and "Small Tank" Crocker Motorcycles.
Our website was launched and our market grew further still. Our customer base is now world-wide.
Crocker Motorcycle Company produces parts that are exactly as the originals by incorporating "old school" pattern making methods with ultra modern measuring and machining technology. We use CMM (computer coordinate-measuring machine) and in many cases CNC machining techniques to ensure the exactness of each part we make.
Our patterns are made by old-world craftsmen who have a dedication to making things correctly, rather then quickly. To ensure a strict quality control, we have created an extensive library of Cad-Cam engineering drawings for every part we produce.
Crocker Motorcycle Company is also dedicated to the history of the original company and has amassed a great deal of original brochures, pamphlets, posters, letters, photos, and magazines all dealing with the original company. We have spoken with those who were there and saw the rise and fall of Crocker. We have been able to unearth more facts and confirm others through our research. We are not only historically dedicated to the V-twin street bike but also to Crocker's "Scootabout" and speedway racing machines.
The Crocker Motorcycle Company has made a commitment to produce enough parts so a customer will be able to build his own Crocker piece by piece or by purchasing parts in kit form. Will these same parts help a restorer complete a high quality restoration? Crocker Motorcycle Company reincarnated
It had been over sixty years since the last Crocker rolled out of 1346 Venice Boulevard in Downtown Los Angeles before the New "Crocker Motorcycle Company" first began to produce parts. After an enthusiastic response to the few high quality parts Crocker had produced for one of America's top restorers, and with inquires from original Crocker owners, it was decided to officially incorporate Crocker Motorcycle Company in January 1999. In early 2002, CEO Michael Schacht began to trademark Crocker world wide, an aggressive stance was taken to accelerate their parts making process and the quest was on to create all the parts needed to assemble complete and exact reproductions of both the coveted "Big Tank" and "Small Tank" models. The website was launched and their market grew further still. Crocker's customer base is now global.

Crocker uses CMM (computer coordinate measuring) and in many cases CNC machining techniques to ensure the exactness of each part they make. Crocker's casting patterns are made by old world craftsmen who have a dedication to making things correctly, rather than quickly. To ensure a strict quality control, Crocker has created an extensive library of Cad-Cam engineering drawings for every part they produce.[2] All Crocker parts are made in the USA.
Crocker is also dedicated to the history of the Brand and has amassed a great deal of original brochures, pamphlets, posters, letters, photos, and magazines. The New Crocker Motorcycle Company has been able to unearth more facts and confirm many others through their extensive research. Crocker Motorcycle Co. also produce Crocker's "Scootabout" scooter and speedway racing machines. Crocker Motorcycle Company is the world wide holder of the Crocker Motorcycle trademark.
Much has changed at Crocker Motorcycle since 2007, with the first big change being ownership. In July 2007, just two months after Crocker’s debut at the “Legend of the Motorcycle” Concourse de Elegance in Half Moon Bay, the company was shut down due to a shareholders dispute. By late 2008 the battle for Crocker was over with Michael Schacht as sole shareholder. Fulfilling the dream of remanufacturing Crocker motorcycles true to the originals, and in Los Angeles, was now becoming a reality.
Since late 2008, after relocating to Southern California, Crocker Motorcycle Company has been busy refining all their engineering, tooling, metallurgy and manufacturing techniques with the assistance of some of the best Mold makers, engineers and Aerospace machine shops on the planet. The end result is a stunning example of the Crocker Big and Small Tank motorcycles, visually identical to the originals and manufactured to the highest quality standards.
Currently, we are road testing our first models and will start taking orders for our very limited production by October 2011.
