GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of early American motorcycle history into your everyday routine. Thor began as the motorcycle marque of Aurora Automatic Machinery Company, an Illinois machine shop founded in 1886. After supplying engines and parts, the company developed complete motorcycles under the Thor name. Its story includes early V-twin development and racing records set under William Ottaway. This backpack celebrates a name shaped by invention, competition, and a distinctive place in the history of motorcycling.
Thor was the motorcycle marque of Aurora Automatic Machinery Company, a business that began as an Aurora, Illinois, machine shop in 1886 and made bicycle parts. In 1901, Aurora worked with Oscar Hedstrom to produce engines for Indian motorcycles. By 1902, it had made 150 motors for the company, while its agreement allowed it to sell engines to other buyers for a royalty. Thor initially supplied engines and parts rather than complete motorcycles. When the agreement ended in 1907, Aurora developed and sold its own motorcycles under the Thor name. The marque introduced a V-twin in 1910, first with one cylinder upright, and had a larger, conventional V-shaped twin by 1913. Thor also developed automatic intake valves and offered features including belt drive and, by 1916, a three-speed transmission. William Ottaway led the company’s racing efforts from 1909 until 1913, when Thor motorcycles set national records. Thor stopped making motorcycle engines in 1916, and motorcycle production dwindled in the late 1910s, ending around 1920. Aurora continued as a company, and Thor persisted as a household-appliance brand.
