Get those break in miles in so I can ride that baby home after the raffle. Look forward to seeing y'all this season. Keep those videos coming.
You are correct about them being able to handle modern roads and highways . I ride my 1949l EL on the highway all the time. No problem keeping up or passing cars. It doesn't stop as quickly as my other bikes as I'm still running the stock drum brakes. But it goes fast enough all day long.

It's an incredibly beautiful machine, well done guys!

👌Agree ,what a beauty
Matt , I always am inspired by your passion for what you do. You and your people do an incredible job! That's an awesome build and I would love to own it. Thank you for all you do!
That's a great-looking and great-sounding bike.
Glad to see someone else who appreciates the "original" 6 volt system. Won't ever convert my two older bikes. It was good enough back in the day....
I put THAT exact “ old school “ pogo - style seat set up on an old 72’ FLH . To this day , 13 HD’s later - not one other machine has the comfort that he described in this very well done and well worded video ! Great job , young man ! Peace ☮️
Beautiful bike!
Just visited this place and it was great. The staff interacts with the guests and answered questions and they know their stuff.
What a beautiful iconic machine,love the bobber style,and colour,well done matt,and your team,best wishes mike United Kingdom 🇬🇧 softail deluxe owner
A literal dream bike. Always did want a Knuckle. That and a '57 Bel Air are the dream garage. Simple, and very attainable.
even without the dampeners those springers handle really well

Hydraulic dampening makes this the PERFECT front end. Far superior to telescoping hydro front ends.😇
At this point it is almost useless to complement you the beautiful bike. All of the bikes in the museum are beautiful in their own way. Whether it is their beautiful history, ingenuity, ergonomics, etc.....they are all beautiful and incredible machines. I love this channel!!
Love your knowledge. You have a good internet platform for without looking over our history and transportation vehicles
I’d love to have it ! That is rolling Life ! Just Beautiful, the work you guys do is second to none !
It's great you men are preserving history and you do a fine job of it Many years ago when I was riding way 62 FLH daily we referred to the brakes as H.D. coaster brakes same for my 47 chief that a young man turned into expensive scrap when he left turned me. I'm a lifelong rider loved motorsickles my entire life but in today's distracted traffic my 6 piston Brembo's save my life almost everytime I ride .
I wish there was a museum like this in the Netherlands.

What's wrong with the '65 up trans.?
@lewismocaby3646
Жыл бұрын
@@gteefxr3094 nothing wrong with them. They’re just tougher to get to work with a knucklehead or panhead since those engines didn’t come with electric start. The 65 panhead was the first year of electric start so it has a longer sprocket shaft on the engine.
Same as my ‘78 Lowrider! I put on a ‘36 trans side cover and kick arm.
The knucklehead is my favorite Harley engine , 2nd is the WL series. The raffle bike is a beauty but I don't care for the bobbed fenders , on a wet road you'd get road spray in your face and on your back.

I'm usually not a raffle guy, but this bike won't let me sleep.
Awesome how those parts & assemblies were basically utilized in one form or another until recent times (1990 or so). Other people might think that Harley had No idea how to modernize, but this technology was viable & satisfactory for the longest time. Harley had some darn good engineering overall.
Thing is pretty cool Matt I’m really glad I found this channel. I love motorcycling more than anything and I’m a history buff as well so combining the 2 is just great
That is the perfect build for that bike right down to the tires! I would kill to own and ride that well maybe not kill but injure severely!
Good morning from Amsterdam.

Matt, your love of what you do and your passion for these classic machines makes this the best site. All that aside, this is truly the prettiest bike I've ever seen. I'd ride that bike into the sunset for the rest of my days...
Very awesome!!!
Wow I'm hooked ,I will buy a few tickets,thanks for an awesome opportunity. You guys are doing an awesome job .I salute you ,hoping someday soon to visit your museum .Live to ride ,ride to live.
I know the Panhead is the Iconic engine due to the ‘60’s Chopper era but, I’ve always thought the Knucklehead is the most Beautiful and Muscular looking engine ever built by the MoCo.
Wow that sounds incredible Matt...
gorgeous bike, not really a fan of bobber's but that one is cool, would have loved to see if your phone was there at the end of the ride, you should do a review of the suspension and brakes in real world conditions
The springer front end , the knuckle, and the hard tail has me sold. Very reliable
God willing heading back there in 2023 . Love the place 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲😎
Good morning from Missouri. Thanks for the great content.
Man I love this channel. Lots of love from the UK ❤
Absolutely amazing
Can't wait to ride it Matt. 😀
Great video. Greatest motorcycle ever.
Only had one Harley in my life, a DL. Interesting to learn about the improvements the made in 7 years. Though no mention of brakes.
So looking forward to riding this machine around Snowdonia in Wales UK this year.
First thing I would do if I win is ride it home to Chicago and stare at it all winter and when spring rolls around go on a road trip with it and definitely stop at the museum along the way! 🤞🤞
Gorgeous bike cracking weather heaven thanks
Beautiful bike and I really like the mello exhaust tone!
Beautiful motorcycle you did a great job building it. They are Cool ! 😎

Well the Pan is even more suitable for modern roads, but as a mechanic you have to fall in love with the Knucklehead...

I always get a kick out of seeing your sand hill with mmc sign. I bought my last bike from a member. Also I drive by their MT. Garfeild property everyday going to work.
Matt as usual the content was great, do you guys have a approximate number for HP and Torq for his knuckle head, it’s not like you’ve put this on the Dino. But am still curious

The real answer for vintage motorcycle for modern use is the pre-unit Royal Enfield Bullet 350 which was built for over 50 years in India; the reason for this is that spares are and will always be available forever because a lot of those motorcycles are still used everyday like how I do - cheers from chennai

Bellissima Harley!!! Bel telaio fluido e tante emozioni
Where do I get a batwing/tail muffler? I want to get a 2 into 1 headpipe, vintage look, for my 2018 Heritage Softail, then use the vintage styled muffler.
The probl with no/sshort fron fenders is the water being thrown up in front of you, and into your face. If you only ride dry weather, no probl, but irl that's rarely a choice most places.
man my dream bike is a nickel plated panhead.. but i wouldn’t mind a knuckle or a UL flatty
That bike looks fun

Hard to say exactly without being able to put hands on it. But, good start would be if it turns over good and has compression then maybe a carb rebuild and some new points would get it going.
What's the wheel and tire setup on this bike?

I got a 2013 Dyna super glide fxdc custom would love to ride a older Harley Davidson
I think God had something to do with the inspiration of the Knuckle Bobber because they are just a thing of beauty and looking at that one , well , it's just art !!!

Young man I hope you know just how blessed you and your father has been to be around such beautiful motorcycle, Jesus has blessed you and your father for sure.
The Indian 4 is the greatest bike to ever grace the road. Then and now..
👍
To my sensibilities that's a very well proportioned motorcycle. Almost like the ergos are exactly where they need to be. This is obviously decades before the unnaturally low and back seats, ridiculous forward foot controls and ape high steerer pretzel. A modern version of this bike with a Sportster motor would be great.
Steady
one nice-looking harley
