Victor Sloan, founder and president of Victor Aviation developed his interest in piston engines building motorcycle engines as a teenager. He would take an engine apart, figure out how it worked and attempt to find unique ways to improve the life and performance of the engine. This was important to Victor because at the age of 16, he was an expert flat track motorcycle racer and engine builder.
Racing motorcycles and the fascination of improving air cooled engines dominated his interests. Working in his father's garage with other motorcycle racers, including five-time world champion Kenny Roberts and Jim Rice, Victor figured out how to make engines really work to their maximum reliable potential. Victor would disassemble the engines, find out ways to improve them and then test them on the race track. Victor knew that reliability and performance were necessary to finish the race.
Victor went on to become one of the nation's leading competition motorcycle engine builders, working on BSA, Triumph, Harley Davidson and Yamaha Motorcycles.
