"Dale acquired this one" made me tear up. I never met your Dad but he was such a presence.I watched his early spots and I loved his enthusiasm. One day I will make a pilgrimage to Maggie Valley. Thanks for keeping the dream alive.

Man, that home-built Harley 45 hill climber is just too cool! It brings back fond memories of the Miami Hill Climb my older brother took me to sometime in the 60's. By the way, that's Miami, Manitoba, Canada, not Miami, Florida. This particular hill climb event was likely too small to attract factory-sponsored racers. Most participants were local Joe Blows and Manitoba motorcycle club members. They were running all manner of nasty home-built, stretched out, Harley, Indian and British hill climbers. The noise, the dust, the smell of exhaust fumes, and the tough bikers! What a rush for an impressionable 14 year old! Still riding and wrenching at 67!

It amazes me to see these old engines still running.

I love how you keep the stories, history, and the bikes themselves alive!!!!

I just luv the mechanicalness of these old bikes, nothing like it.

It sure revs quickly , must of been a powerful engine for it’s time in history

If any of these guys from this amazing era of Racing are still alive, it would be really cool to see them be interviewed next to their old bike....

It would really neat if you had any footage of your dad s hill climb on those old bikes.

One day I will make it to Maggie Valley to check out WTT. So glad to have found your channel.

Every video I’m left shaking my head absolutely all the different bikes 😮

Thats passion , enthusiasm and knowledge for you.

A mile down the road from me was one of the original hillclimbs. My grandfather would talk about it throughout his life. He said nobody could get over the top and guys from all over the country would come every year. But after the first guy made it, they all started to. It was killed off later and now that hillside is a straight up hill and completely filled in with trees.

This one's got a wicked tone. Thanks!

Looks like it is time to address that sediment trap leak. Sounds like it's got some hot cams. Neat bike. Wish it could talk. I can only imagine a Norman Rockwell painting of it being built....

Glad you guys are doing more vids again.....keep up the great work we love this stuff!!

This one was really cool man! I love home brew.

I'll bet the guy that built that never thought anyone would appreciate it all these years after

:-))) WOOOOWWW !!!!! this is the most AMAZING bikes i've seen in a long time ! thanks for that video ! greetings from your Israeli fans here !

I didn't know Dale hill climbed. WR's were my life. That one is special.

They still hold Hill Climbs, well at least I think they still do, they did like 10 years ago or so, but over in Oregonia, Ohio, the other side of Lebanon, Ohio. . Anyways that’s the last big event of the year, every year, at the end of summer, start of fall. Man I love watching those, awesome! And it’s on my bucket list to get to Maggie Valley one day! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm tough I got a Harley....nice I rode this thing on alcohol up a mountain 75 years ago....

Like the Muskegon motorcycle club sign. Bought my last Harley for a member of the club. I live a couple of miles from MT Garfield. Is the museum open for visitors yet, would love to visit and see all the history.

That first bike is one janky, sketchy, disreputable terror machine. It looks awesome.

fix the gas leak before it fixes you

Great video brother..

there will be no dislikes for sure. ultra cool

She even leaks a little fuel

I got a 1960-70's triple blade lawn mower that has a single cylinder cast iron engine that is as big as that V twin... maybe i should do something with it? think that old flat head engine could push out 50lbft? its got 3 rotating blades 4ft cutting width weighs 280lbs and was self propelled.

Goes nice

Am I the only one that saw that nut or chunk of metal hit the floor when he revved it at 9:25?

To me...it looks like a adjustable shoe pad for. The primary was in order. But not !

Did you fire it up on alky or gasoline?

Been watching all your Vids. Absolutely awesome but I have a question. Can you even Ride a new Bike?😂 The controls are so different. You say that neck is sketch, it's lasted this long. People took pride in their work so things had a tendency to last. Through the lens of today it may be sketchy but the guys who raced these things had cojones the likes of which are reserved for SF guys today.

Are they meant to leak fuel like that the race bikes?

🎻 это просто Музыка.

Any of these hill climbers climb point of mountain utah

not pretty. but very cool
