Newsletter-Spring2014.Pdf From the Shop with Glenn Bator Welcome to the second edition of “Motorcycle Investor Newsletter”. After the unexpected success and positive response that we received from our inaugural issue which we released a few months back, it looks like Bator Interna- tional, inc. is now embarking on a new path as publishers! This on line magazine got its start as a Skype conver- sation between me and my associate, John Thow, while working on the batorinternational.com website. We both agreed that we have so many cool and interesting things going on at Bator International, Inc. that why not put it in print and share it with our friends. To put together an on line magazine that is news worthy and well received is not an easy task as it takes a multi- tude of talents, some of which we never knew we pos- sessed, working hard to bring everything together. The “brain trust” of our company is without a doubt my wife, Deni. She is the unsung hero and the power behind the thrown. Her editing skills and common sense are con- Publisher / Writer: Editor: Art Director / Content Editor: stantly put to the test while trying to make a sensible read Glenn Bator Deni Bator John Thow out of my ramblings.

For this issue, we have also brought in the talents of research- er/writer Margie Siegal as well as Marilyn Stemp, the former editor of the now defunct Iron Works magazine. I want to personally welcome Mr. John Lawless to our Bator International family. John will be bringing his mul- titude of talents in to assist with the east coast division of Bator International, Inc. John brings to the table a lifelong passion for all things vintage racing as well as his orga- nizing skills for a number of events he is involved with and his extensive knowledge of the market for the British, Euro and Japanese motorcycles. Be sure to check out his bio and press release in this issue. In this second issue, we have several very interesting stories that we hope you will enjoy reading, one of which is about Jimmy “Dare Devil” Washburn’s 1932 Harley David- son VL. I sincerely hope you enjoy our second issue of “Motorcycle Investor Newsletter”, and I want to personally thank you for your interest and support! Enjoy the Ride…. Glenn 2 3 But it was a bike from the Pierce family collection that held all eyes rapt when its turn on the block came. The 1940 Harley-Davidson EL was the subject of an intense bidding war among several clients, both present and via phone and email. When the hammer finally fell the result met with applause and murmurings among the crowd as a new world auction record was set: an astounding $159,000. While the selling prices of these specif- ic machines are impressive, not every motorcycle went for such high stakes. The earliest know example (10th built) of a 1957 H-D XL sold for $25,300 and EK Enterprises shoed an assortment of authentic Evel Knievel a ’56 KHK went for $ 12,650.

  • 5. Men of Substance – 1
    5. Men of Substance – 1 When we are young and in the prime of our youth our lives pass so fast that events come and go quickly like today’s daily News. No sooner one event passes, another leaps up to replace it. Only the more dramatic or the humorous for the most part will stick with us. I recently discovered and read an old magazine article written in March 1992 to commemorate the anniversary of the tragic loss of Mike Hailwood. It triggered in me an old memory that I thought I had completely forgotten with the passage of time. Back around 1964/5 I was a member of a UK motorcycle club called The Southend & District MCC. Although I never met them, Bill Ivy and Dave Bickers were also registered members of the same club in compliance with an official UK ACU racing license ruling at that time. The ACU (Auto Cycle Union) was similar to the US. AMA (American Motorcycle Association) in governing all forms of motorcycle sport. We were treated to many a fascinating Club Talk by some quite prominent people of the day such as Charles Mortimer Sr. and Wal Phillips, (a veteran cinder-track speedway rider who was one of the first to develop aftermarket fuel injectors for motorcycles in the UK.), to name but a couple. An Avon Tire representative once came and gave a full presentation on the then newly developing technology of 'Avon Cling' High Hysteresis Tire Compounds. Bert Greeves, founder and owner of Greeves Motorcycles, was also a highly prominent figure along with his long-time friend and business associate, Derry Preston-Cobb, who ran the Greeves subsidiary of Invacar, an independent invalid vehicle factory located next door to the main Greeves factory on One Tree Hill, in Thundersley, Essex.

  • Note 138: Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit:- Course
    P.1 of 9 Note 138 Isle of Man TT Mountain circuit:- Course Records Writing Note 137 about Indianapolis reminded this author that there is another circuit used for racing since 1911 which is almost unchanged – the Isle of Man Mountain circuit. This Note reviews the course records achieved there by Tourist Trophy motor-cycles and puts them in perspective with the machine Power/Weight ratios. The Mountain course of 37.73 miles used since 1920* rises to a height of 1,400 feet. It had a large surface change from mostly loose to tarmacadamed by 1925 and has had many corners “eased” since then but its plan is essentially unchanged. Unlike Indianapolis, with its 4 left-hand quarter- circle corners, it has 264 bends of every description! The plan is shown below. DASO 1246 *For the 1911-1914 races the course was 37.7 miles. In 1920 a change was made for the last few miles from Cronk-ny-Mona to bring the Start/Finish line onto the Glencrutchery Road. Course Record list As there does not seem to be readily available a consolidated list of outright Course Records one has been assembled from various sources. It is given in Appendix A at P. 6.
