Have we reached the peak of the Zombie Brand craze? Or maybe,
this is a new low? Either way, we’ve got the new Bert le Vack special-edition bike from Brough Superior.
Brough Superior, as it originally existed from 1919 through 1940, was one of the world’s most respected motorcycle manufacturers. Founded by George Brough, the company built fast, luxurious machines that earned the company the nickname “The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles.” Brough Superior’s most famous customer was probably T.E. Lawrence, aka Lawrence of Arabia, who met his untimely end aboard one of the company’s bikes.
Racer/engineer Bert le Vack was another famous Brough Superior rider; at least, he was a famous name for petrolheads in the 1920s. He helped Brough Superior develop motorcycles, and he rode them to several world records. Sadly, he also died in a motorcycle crash, during a race in Switzerland.
