Ok, most OLMG's require a American made v-twin motorcycle over 1000cc. Buell meets that standard. So does Indian, technically Victories. The Vrod engine was developed by HD and Porsche. I grew up around a club. For the most part these guys are hard working blue collar guys, but every club has their exceptions.

If you would have scrolled down to "History" you would have read this;


The company was founded in 1920 in Dresden, Germany as ROTAX-WERK AG. In 1930 it was taken over by Fichtel & Sachs and transferred its operations to Schweinfurt, Germany. Operations were moved to Wels, Austria in 1943 and finally to Gunskirchen, Austria in 1947. In 1959, Rotax merged with the Vienna-based Lohner-Werke, a manufacturer of car and railway wagon bodies. In 1970 Lohner-Rotax was bought by Bombardier Inc. The former Bombardier branch, Bombardier Recreational Products, now an independent company, uses Rotax engines in its motorcycles, personal water craft, and snowmobiles.[5]
The company constructed only two-stroke engines until 1982, when it started building four-stroke engines and aircraft engines. Other important dates include 1962, when a Rotax engine was first installed in a snowmobile and 1989, when Rotax received FAA Type Certification for its Model 912 A aircraft engine.
In 2008, Rotax started manufacturing the 1,125 cc Helicon liquid-cooled, four-stroke, fuel-injected 72° V-twin for the Buell Motorcycle Company.

On May 9, 2001, Bombardier's Rotax engine plant in Gunskirchen, Austria, celebrated the five millionth engine coming off the assembly line.


Gunskirchen, Austria - 2002-11-06

Bombardier Recreational Products announces the opening of a new test centre at its Rotax® engine manufacturing plant in Gunskirchen, Austria. The state-of-the-art test centre, completed at a cost of $6,230,000 CDN (EUR 4,000,000), includes a new measurement facility and a new test stand where up to 35 employees will be working.

Along with new machines and techniques, the new facility is testimony to the continuous investment by Bombardier-Rotax in the development of new engine technologies. Foremost among these are the new engine families under the name 4-TECTM (for four-stroke engine) and 2-TECTM (for two-stroke electronic injection engine) that are meeting the challenges of increasing standards and demands. The new test centre will enhance, facilitate and promote advancements in these cleaner, more powerful and higher quality engines, such as the ROTAX V2 1004 4-TEC snowmobile engine, which has already gone into serial production.

"Innovation, quality and reliability have always been the strengths of Rotax engines. This new Test Centre is part of our initiative to develop a world-class production process to spearhead the development of our new generation of engines into the future," stated Dipl.-Ing. Harald Plöckinger, Managing Director of Bombardier-Rotax.

Someone explain to me the purpose of an MC these days?

The stuff on Sons of Anarchy is great to watch, i love the show, but its not real and can't be done in real life.

What's the point of being in an MC?

 

[BuellyBagger]

i think its kinda become like bein a member of a country club. I suppose it gives a lil sense of exclusivity to certain activities which would make the members feel superior to the rest of us. I dunno i can c some of the alure.
