Last Sat I attended a backyard garden party for the showing of a local fellas AJS V4. YES! A V4. This engine painstakenly recast and machined from 2 photos. One being from the 1935 motorcyclist magazine. I think that was the mag. The casting boards were displayed around the yard for inspection. Just incredible and very inspireing. This project was roughly completed in 2yrs. What is Crocker doing? Oh well....
A photo of a V4 (ahhh.. with blower) can be seen on the front page of the Sammy Miller museum web site. Visualize the bike without the blower and rad.
With dual mags, 4 pipes. She just screams with power to spare. 500cc displacement. A very interesting sounding engine. I think only two of these bikes exist. His would be the third. Bragging rights are well earned.
So it was a very neat little backyard party. I look forward to riding with him.
A V-twin is really boring in comparison to a V4. It really stirs your imagination. Well, it really turned my crank! Anyone interested in V4s?
