I love your videos and your shop. You are so knowledgeable about everything on 2 wheels. I’m 25 and love to see what these old bikes were and their details. Me and my dad love to watch your videos together and he gets to reminisce about his old bikes. Thanks for posting videos. Keep up the great work!!
This brings back memories of 1968. My 1st Motorcycle. They had 13 to 1 compression and you need to understand how to use a compression release to be able to kick it over. They will start easy if you know what your doing. Real Thumpers Ken.
I have one of these and they are bulletproof absolutely I have owned the Shooting Star and the Victor for over 50 years the shooting star on the road will give you at least 65 Mi a gallon the Victor I never pay attention to cuz I'm always cranking the throttle as hard as I can
just bought a 1967 just like that one for $1800, not near as clean, but all together, is there a reason why some are round barrel and others are square, same year ? mine is being used as a yard ornament, that's all, beautiful.
'65 to'67 is round barrel. '68-'70 square. But some might have had barrels replaced over the years. I'm just getting to look at mine to get it running. The speedo is 150 mph. What does yours have?
