He is lucky the engine case and transmission have any parts inside them at all. Piece it back out and lesson learned. I used to find bikes like this in flea markets. I could tell they were pieced together fake bikes. Usually, they had cracked cases or a major issue.

Obviously Mecum doesn't employ any bike experts to authenticate potential inventory. That's called "Misrepresentation of sale". If you aren't given appropriate time to do your own due diligence with an expert, pass on the sale.

@kurtfoulke5130 I can blame the auction because I spent 22 years working at one of the world's largest auto auction companies. That sort Bait and Switch isn't good business. The company I worked for didn't allow that sort of thing to happen. If a sale was made and it was proven the vehicle sold was "Misrepresented" at the time of sale the transaction would have been voided and proceeds returned to the buyer. That's just good business. You don't allow the good name of the company to be brought down over a few thousand dollars.

Looking forward to watching this when I get home. Bikes & Beards inspired me to get a motorcycle. Thanks buddy!

That 1914, though! I can't imagine going over 100 mph on that thing...

Love the wheels thru time collaboration!!!😊❤

Have a blessed day everyone. Ride safe!

Don't have a motorcycle. Never have, probably never will. But I still enjoy these videos.

Been watching your channel since the start of lockdown, and I love the content you make, and I don’t even ride! Looking forward to what you do next.

love these episode with Matt. He Spews knowledge !!! a true Maestro of his "craft"

It was great meeting both of you guys last Monday I thoroughly enjoyed talking to you ❤️ Sean I was the guy with the Pennzoil Fatboy that Matt thinks Dale painted that wants to donate it to the museum

How is that despite not being a bike rider/enthusiast, or someone who is from your part of the world, I find your restoration vids fascinating? The skills and talent (and history) on display is so interesting to me. Keep up the good work.❤

As a restorer, I understand how much time and money you need to devote to getting this motorcycle in order. I've worked on several vintage Harleys. The oldest motorcycle I rode was a German Victoria from 1927. Currently working on a 1913 Wanderer. Good luck!

Great stuff! Bonus is a look behind the scenes at Wheels Through Time. A great museum.

Love your content man. Just had some family move to Columbia. Will have to come up some time.

That shot with you starting the bike was awesome. I was like NO Way😂 then you panned out

I just want to let you know that I recently subscribed and have watched all your videos. I enjoy your content and as a new rider I have learned a lot from watching and picked up some good habits that may have saved my life. I was in an accident earlier today and came out with minor injuries thanks to some of the habits I have picked up from watching your videos. I see you put on a jacket and a helmet everytime you go out on the road and that has rubbed off on me so I started doing it as well. Also your faith in god has been a great inspiration that caused me to start praying and being thankful again more than I have been. Unfortunately my bike was totaled and it was a hit and run. A guy in a white work van ran a stop sign and I tried to avoid him but there wasn’t enough time to react. I hit his rear quarter panel at around 50mph and was thrown and rolled down the state route I was on. He never slowed down on checked to see if I was ok or even alive for that matter. The sheriff said the probably won’t be able to find him. So I ended up injured and without a bike. Gods hand must’ve been over me and kept me safe enough to limp away. Keep doing what you are doing it’s informational and inspiring to newer riders.

I'm going to agree with some others and say it was likely a display piece at a business or outside some enthusiasts house. If it was just a quick attempt at auction bait I doubt they would have cared to stop it from rusting.

That production quality! This is TV show level!!!!

I could just sit and listen to this guy stories. It’s nice to see a younger dude like that with that much knowledge about Harleys.

It was a great surprise bumping into you at Wheels through Time last week. I appreciate you and Matt taking a few minutes to talk to me (I am the big guy from Iowa that was talking to you about the Road Dog). I have enjoyed your channels for quite a while.

That 1914 is jaw dropping. I'm not even a bike guy.

I liked the video of you and Kendall, good job man!

I was gutted when you moved because i love the dynamics between you and craig but, now craig has a channel too it almost the best of both worlds! 2 very different but also very similar! Craigs videos are more mechanical and informative (not that i dont learn anything from you!). And your channel is more riding and biker lifestyle stuff. Both are equally awesome, entertaining and informative and, when you guys team up every now and then, thats when the real magic happens!😂 Thank you ❤

I love this channel so much im a 43 year old single dad and i this channel has inspired me to to get my first motorcycle i am working hard to save up to try and buy one im thinkg like a honda shadow those seem cheap and able to get i am so excited and thankful to this channel for giving me the courage on this journey when i get one i will send a pic of the new baby to your email to show you what i get !!! will be a bit but one day!! ill be riding !!

Dude is an encyclopedia, i love listening to knowledge and stories from guys who live and breathe whatever they're interested in, even if im not interested myself

If there was one person to take the bike to and especially to fix up, it is Matt. His Dad taught him a lifetime of knowledge. I do miss Dale. I am not a bike guy, but this old stuff keeps me interested...

My neighbor purchased an old 500 triumph, that used to sit in a store window here in downtown Birmingham… it was missing a lot of internal parts and he never did get it running.. he sold it about a month ago to somebody down in Louisiana who is going to try to get it to run… you “ 29” Looks like a bike you might find at Cracker Barrel…on display… I hope you do get it running…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Or sitting inside as a display in a small motorcycle shop …good luck ..👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

The knowledge and talents of Matt are incredible and awesome.

That dude probably knows more stuff about classic American bikes than anyone. He's the Rainman of Motorcycles. I love watching "experts" talking about their loves....It can be about anything bikes, furniture etc....I once watched a 90 minute video with a barbwire collector.

Same for me. Anyone totally snowed-in on a subject use to be facinating to listen to.

Reminds me of the time a friend found a 1916 Indian Powerplus, literally a barn find in a little township in New Brunswick. 13,000, you couldn't lose. I would do a teardown to check engine internals. If you find enough parts that are good, I would collect enough parts to get it running. Not restore it. This is my initial thought before I finish the video. Now to continue on with the video.... :)

I just love your tanks especially your haps and your hawk is beyond awesome . I recently got a 7cm hawk and 4cm trout they are in a 3×2×2 grow out tank atm and growing quickly they will be transfered to the 6×2×2 in time.

I was there last Monday. I walked past the WLDR and thought man that looks a lot like Sean’s bike. 🤦🏻‍♂️

"he wouldn't have called us if it wasn't old".... Facts💪

Every time I see a video especially yours because A you love Harleys and that you are a mechanic. I had a friend many years ago Bruce Burns from South New Jersey area. Bruce was a special guy because he was a deaf mute. He could hold his face to a car truck or motorcycle and tell you via his wife or daughter translating the words to you. Bruce could diagnose the problem tell you exactly what parts you need to buy. And then 99.99999% of the time Bruce would fix your problems for free. Him his wife Nancy and the daughter Trisha were all like family to me

Nice video Sean.. I really thought you guys got that bike started.. Keep well and keep twisting that wrist..

Looks like a shop or restaurant show piece

I could listen to Matt read a phone book I'd love a look in his parts stash

Every year in a small village in the UK called kinlochleven their is a dirt bike trial even called the pre 65s, which is for old dirt bikes (mainly British) from before 1965, some of the people their do sell bikes as well.

Everything is coming up Millhouse!

Love when you two get together. Now all you need is Graig! Thank you for the bible verse. When will you have an open house/meet and greet?

Looking over my original Harley-Davidson factory literature collection, I see no "29JX" marked motor mentioned anywhere -- only 29J, JL, JD, JDH, JDF and JDL marked motors. Either the number is spurious (fake) or it is indeed uncommon and rare.

WOW...that WLDR looks great 👍...

😮it happens better luck next time love the content

i love your videos guys

There was a little bit of ASMR in the sound of that engine and revenge it up I'm talking about the very first bike that they fired in the beginning of the video at 10:20 when they fired up the engine and that engine sounded pretty damn good and the little bit of ASMR was a nice touch I m3an at keast for me cause it triggered my ASMR and gave me the tingle sensation when listening to part kf the engine especially when he revved it up it really triggered my ASMR and I am so glad that I am a perrin that is able to experience ASMR because some ppl have it and some ppl don't have ASMR. I listen to ASMR every night to fall asleep.

Another great video.

By chance did you get that in Nevada because I started looking to find one and their is yours on your episode made me smile

You might want to do a facetime with Matt, next time before you buy.

Looks like you bought a prop for a theme restaurant. Something you put on a shelf for display. There's restaurants that pay more for that prop than motorcyclists do.

Maybe it was put together to be shown in some motorcycle shop as just something to look at but not real closely. Pleanty of Harley dealerships have old bikes on platforms above the reach of customers as just bikes to exhibit a feeling of nostalgia.
