It began production of its vehicles in 1998, and began winding down operations in January 2017.

Description: Founded by Manuel Giró, an industrialist from Barcelona as Orpheo Sincronic Sociedad Anónima, the original OSSA company got its start in 1924 by making movie projectors for its home market in Spain. The company's four-leaf clover emblem wasn't actually a four-leaf clover and rather an escapement mechanism of a film projector. Before World War II, Giró was the Spanish sidecar racing national champion, along with his co-pilot, the future founder of Bultaco motorcycles, Francisco Bultó. In 1940 Giró changed the primary focus of his company to building racing motorcycles and after the war, he obtained superior two-stroke engine technology from the German DKW factory as war reparations and was mass-producing his two-stroke motorcycles by1949.
Description: Steve Nelson was a high school dropout from Chicago who built up a successful motorcycle parts business, but was seduced by the California scene and moved to Huntington Beach in 1976. Nelson opened Nostalgia Cycle, specializing in parts in accessories for American motorcycles, while simultaneously launching SuperCycle Magazine. With a goal of creating a top shelf national publication for bikers, SuperCycle was all about the chopper lifestyle and featured custom bikes, bare-breasted women, and pages of ads for mail order chopper parts. The magazine struggled the first year, but year two saw circulation reach 50k, and then almost triple that in year three. SuperCycle continued to expand its reach until a national publisher purchased it.

Description: Chopper Corner opened its doors in 1968 in Dalton, Illinois, making it one of the first custom motorcycle parts distributors in the Midwest. They maintained a huge inventory, meaning parts were on the shelves and ready to take home without waiting for them to order them up from the manufacturer, a common practice with a lot of speed and custom shops at the time. With the popularity of choppers, less than two years later, they opened a second location in Tinley Park.
