- Just got her back together again and made some new exhaust pipe extensions. Nathan made the pipes out of "leftovers" I had laying around and Scott cut me some new extensions for out the back.
That grin at 4:55 says it all.
Yah, I guess it does.
👍
From time to time you're going to have to strap on a Go-Pro, and take us for a ride. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would appreciate that. Thanks for the video.
We've talked about it. If we do it, we want to give you something you'll enjoy. We'll see.
I agree. Mike DOES need to put on a go-pro.
I agree with that 😈
you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Alessandro Josue instablaster =)
Mike, you need to read kids books. You have a voice for it.
Thank you.
Your smile tells it all! That's one beautiful motorcycle!
Thank You.
Another fun video....Thanks Mike
Thank You.
The SWEET SWEET SOUND OF A SHOVEL , I'll never sell my FLHS
I feel that way. I've had this one 42 years.
the Sound of a shovel. one of the most beautiful pieces of music
Yep. Thank You.
I grew up playing with tools in the floor of my grandfather's garages. They both taught me so much about motors and general shadetree mechanic work. So glad guys like you are continuing to hand down knowledge to the younger generations. She sounds amazing. Hope you get back on the road soon.
You bet. Thank You. Just need to fab up some strange brackets for the sidecar. Sonia hasn't seen some of my favorite paces yet.
But they never taught you the difference between a "motor" and an "engine".
Aww, bless your ❤ Mike, please make a video with your best friend riding with you
Oh yah. Thank You. It's coming. I'm very fond of my dog and I really want her with me.
That is music to the ears, especially after working all day, Thanks
Thank You.
Another sweet looking and sounding bike 👍🏽 be safe brother.
Thanks, you too!
Who needs speakers when ya got "them pipes"!!!💪😎👍🇺🇸 (good luck with the side-car) Bless your pup🐶
Thank You.
Exactly! I never understood why ANYBODY would have a radio on a Harley. The sound of those pipes are sweet as classic rock.
I love my dog too. I take him everywhere. He wouldn't have it any other way. It looks and sounds nice.
Thank You.
Love that shovel brother. I had an 83 and it was fun
Yup. It's a love thing.
Nice bike, nice yard, nice dog, nice life
It took a long time to pull off, but I feel very fortunate. Thank You.
Smile says it all! Thanks for sharing she's a beauty!
Thank You.
sounds great nothing like the sound of an old Shovel I have a side car on my 76 my German shepherd loves going for rides.pipes should be good back like that for your dog she will love it.see you on the road
Sounds great! Thank You.
Mike, I can’t even put into words how much I love your videos. Thank you for doing you’re thing and letting us watch! Your videos are the light in my dark times and I thank you!
Wow, thank you! I really would like for this to be a pleasure. I've really enjoyed the interaction with some great people.
Nice Mike! Thanks for sharing! She sounds great!
Thank You.
Beautiful bike and beautiful pup. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank You.
Thanks for posting all your bikes for us to observe and listen too. I love them all
Glad you like them!
I love your videos. Such a passion for motorcycles you have. Bless you Mike, be safe.
Thank You. And, you do the same.
Such a nice bike, love your style Mike thanks for sharing 👍
Thank You.
Mike, the bike is beautiful and sounds really nice and I just loved that comment an electric foot.
Thank You. I get lazy once in a while.
She sounds amazing Mike!
Thank You.
As always a cool video. Thanks for sharing !
Thank You.
Sounds good to me Mike, Enjoy you summer rides. Melman!
Thanks, you too!
Hey, Mike! What a beautiful looking and sounding bike. You’re like Bob Ross of motorcycles. It’s really nice to listen to your voice and your motorcycles 👍🏻
Thank You.
Got a great throaty sound! Glad to hear it's not idled to low! Lookin good :)
She doesn't idle low.
When you got close to her to check the enrichener I heard your Shovelhead makes the same noises as mine...
that is comforting to me... THANX!!! : )
Yes, they do.
From an 81 FLHS Shovelhead guy, I'm really loving all the SH videos. Learning a ton. Thanks for doing those.
Glad you like them!
THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic sounding bike, pipes look great. Like the air cleaner logo.
Thank You.
Beautiful bike, sounds great, thanks for sharing and a beautiful dog too. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Sounds strong Mike! Glad to see her back together. Ride safe! Al
Thank You. You too.
Really like the clean look of the long shot pipes. Good job sir!
Thank You.
Your gonna make me cry. I had a 71 FLH in pearl white. S& S everything ,from the flywheels to the carb. I road that bike for 20 plus years and all over CD the Americas. That's a real motorcycle you can take anywhere. Now I e got a Kawasaki. It's ok. You have a nice version of the one bike I wish I could have hung on to.
Thank You. It's fun.
So nice! We will see you on the road!
I'll be looking forward to it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. So much knowledge has been lost throughout time regarding vintage and antique vehicles because of people not passing down there experience with them.
We're trying. Thank You.
Nice bike Mike I’ll be listening for you See you on the road
You're on.
Love that shovel
Thank You.
It's incredible what the new FLD (SWITCHBACK) is similar of this bike.. nice, beautiful. Thank you Mike for your passion
Glad you like it!
I have a new Hero! Loved your videos before but now I see Sonia and you've won me over brother. Thanks for good honest tips with no hollywood drama!
Wow. Thank You. Sonia is flattered too. But, she's really a little put out with me. I haven't got her sidecar up yet. Coming soon. No drama necessary.
Fantastic sound again!
Thanks again!
Greetings from across the pond! That bike sounds great! The smile on your face says it all.
Thank You
Beautiful bike AWESOME sound!!! Shovelheads have the best sound of ANY bike on the road!!!
Oh, I love the sound of any well tuned old Harley. Nothing sounds like a good running Shovel. Nothing sounds like good running Knuckle. Nothing sounds like a good running Pan. Can't wait to make music with a good running Big Flathead. It's all love to me.
Thanks Mike. Your smile says it all 😎👍
Thank You. I'm having fun.
Very nice bike. Thanks for the sound check. Be safe out there. : )
Thanks, you too!
Love my shovel sounds great beautiful bike Mike!
Thank You.
Beautiful...... bike and dog. That has to be one of the best sounding Shovelheads I’ve ever heard. Keep buildin’m, keep ridin’m. 🤙
Thank You. We'll just do that.
A joy to hear!! Thank you.
Thank You.
She sounds Great Mike.ive been working on shovels for 30 years and still learn from your vids
It goes on forever. You could probably teach me a few things.
Looking and sounding great mike my shovel running great on fresh rebuild starts first or second kick
Cool. Thank You.
The smile on your face when you were standing behind the machine you lovingly built says more than your whole dialogue! sweet thumper, music to my ears as well.
Thank You. I really appreciate that.
Sweet sweet music! I love the sound of a shovel. My father bought his '68 in '78 and now im riding it. Nothing ever feels as good as riding that bike. Its the green/birch color and although its not my favorite, id never change it. Eventhough i have seen some sweet dark green/white FLH's
Very cool! That's a grand old bike. It certainly disserves to be preserved by you.
What a fine sounding Harley, looks beautiful too! Ride safe!
Thanks, you too!
I love this man's voice! Love the bikes too lol
Thank You.

All the best mate...and see ya out on the road with Sonia one day! Incidentally, that's my wife's name too! Regards, Mitch
Thank You. I look forward to seeing both of you.
Awesome machine mike, very nice set of pipes...
Thank You.
An absolute masterpiece, what a pleasure for my ears. I wish every modern bike would sound like a harley.
BOOM BOOM BA DA BOOM BOOM BOOM
It would be nice. But the only thing that sounds like the real thing, is the real thing.
Sounds beautiful Mike
Thank You.

That's great. Thank You.
She looks and sounds fantastic
Thank You.
Very nice,I was looking for a SU carb but finally got my Tillotson running good on my 1969 FLH. The SU is so cool.
Thank You. A lot of people used to rave about their Tillotsons.
Nice bike. My 72 FLH hasn't let me down in 32 years and counting..
Cool.
Bike sounds good Mike.... keep up the good work..thanks
Thanks, will do!
Very sweet running Shovel ... and yes the summer is here ,here in Ireland today is a wonderful day ,,we have just had 3 months of lock down opened again ,, we still have big limits on life ,,but it feels wonderful to be able to ride again . I have watched all your great videos form way back and always enjoy so much ,, Please keep up your wonderful calm and peaceful videos, I always find your voice soothing and the way you explain things easy to follow, ride safe ..Charlie from Ireland .. PS.. your notifications seem to be working fine.
Thank You, Charlie.That's all good.
Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for watching.
Love the way your bike looks and sounds, I'm getting my very bike this weekend. it's an 81 shovelhead, I'm very excited
You should be. That's great!
Sweet sounding Shovel
Thank You.
Sounds amazing Thanks for the video 👍
Thank You.
I'm honored to say I follow your videos! I live in Phoenix!
Thank You. Hello Phoenix.
Very nice bike sounds great I love all 3 of your bikes old school rules
Thank You.
The sound of the pre evo v twins is awesome! I love it!
Yah, me too. But each type is a little different. Pans and Shovels don't sound alike and Knuckles really stand alone. A Flathead is different yet. And an old Indian (1953 and earlier Twins) is something else again.
I’m excited to get my pan going! Is there a place I can share pictures that you’ll see?
What A great representation of your quality work Mike
Thank You. She's a great road bike.
This dude is the Bob Ross of bikes and I’m all here for it
Thank You.
Glad Chong is still doing well. Looking good my man.
Much appreciated
That's a handsome looking bike Mike.
Thank You.
Sounds smooth Mike got her tuned good
Thank You. She's a little fresh right now. She'll get better with a couple thousand miles.
Mike,
That bike is nothing but an eyeful to behold!
You say she is a bit temperamental. And that’s all right.. still digging her the ape’s are an eye pleaser as well.
Thank You. We finally got through her "odd" tuning stages. She is a "one off."
Love the videos Mike! Beautiful bike and sounds great, for a future video idea I was wondering if you could do a video on a springer front end showing maintenance and adjustments. Thank you!
Thank You. The project bike is getting a springer and we'll show the steps on video.
Poetry in motion
Thank You.
She sounds smooth real smooth 👍👍
Very smooth at freeway speeds.
Dig the color, hell dig the whole bike Brother!
Thank You.
She sounds good!
Thank You.
Another beautiful bike brought to you by the Bob Ross of motorcycling.
Thank You.
She sounds good. Nice looking bike.
Thank You.
Sounds great very nice motorcycle
Thank You.
In my small hometown, circa 1978, I knew of a guy who had an Electra-Glide. Was probably 1969-71 vintage. Looked a lot like yours, including color. He removed everything extraneous, including all extra lighting and turn signals. But he kept the original handlebars, brushed metal headlight nacelle, fenders and wheels. Might've also kept the foot-boards. He'd installed drag pipes and a classic thin Sportster seat. I don't think it qualified as a bobber. Just a sleek and simple meat n' potatoes machine.
This was the golden age of Japanese four-cylinder sport bikes like the Kawasaki Z1 and the Honda 750F. Man, that Harley was a standout!
Once when nobody was around I threw a leg over it, sat on the seat and lifted it off its side-stand. I marveled at the perfect balance in spite of its weight!
Forty-some-odd years later -- thanks for this video and for sparking to life a great memory.
That's great. Thank You
Love them old shovels!
You bet.
Another one of your beautiful rides she is also awesome all the good ones are taken Mike's got em all I'm jealous love it
Thank You. I've had this one 44 years. There was a time when she was ALL I had. And those were great times too.
@@pacificmike9501 well mike I can't compete with your love affairs but I got a fatboy I bought 27 years ago new and love it but I always wanted a flh shovel good friend of mine bought one new in high school let me take it for a day ride and fell in love that's what inspired me to buy the fatboy
Cool. We all start at the same place.
Well you inspire me to work on my Shovel, shame on me I’ve never touched it mechanically, I know my bad. Had it built in 1996 rode for awhile then dived off into the Evo world. I sold my shovel and it was gone 15 years. The buddy of mine that built it called me on day to tell me he was talking with the guy that bought it and had ridden it to his house. Wellllllll, I bought it back. Now that I learned my lesson not to ever get rid of your Shovel I would like to get her up and running properly again. Thanks for your help and inspiration, ride safe and stay cool. May God Bless. I’m sure I’ll be asking lots of questions.
Way cool.
Sweet sounding bike... My 75 FXE has a Thunderheader on it. It's a tad bit loud... It's eventually going to my daughter when she's old enough. I'm going to have to get another one... Not a bad delima to have. Great video & as always be well.
That's what we refer to as a "quality problem." Sounds good to me.
Lovely motorbike. Good for you
Thanks! 👍
Greatings from europe. Bike sounds great.
Thank You. And, Greetings to you.
