dang todd,im smiling ear to ear seeing this first time,grandma died last week,moms gotta sell house,mom and dad even have 5 rentalhouses but im gonna be homeless and no job lol love my parents but they squeeze a penny lol theres a friend iv known selling parts to in holland,he knows a fellow who has one that delivered mail on a holland island for 50 years,wish i could send u pic,its got oil cans hanging on side and exact color of this fellows
I remember this bike and Leonard, he's an original for sure. There was a guy named Kevin who also rode it pretty hard and bent the shit outta the rear rack when he took off with a theft chain attached...
That bike looks my grandfather's neighbors in Los Altos California. My grandfather also had a whole garage full of Indian and triumph ,HD. Along with others. He sold his house on Linden Avenue. And moved to Sebastopol. California. And I think one of my goofy uncles ended up getting all the bikes when he passed away
Dude you have the coolest friends , 80% of the bikers I know are sunny day chrome polishers , last week I had a friend go home because there was too much " mist " in the air , first I've heard that one , my wife has multiple sclerosis & she's more of a hard core rider than most men I know with bike collections , she rides the fuck outta her Fatboy & her little Buell blast , I'll hear a bike start up & she's gone without saying shit to me lol .
+Michael Ledford she sounds like a wonderful woman. you should join the AMCA. You'll meet all kinds of people who have and enjoy old bikes. Just go to their meets. www.antiquemotorcycle.org/
HuntingHarleys Thank you , she is an awesome gal , for 40 yrs she's rode with me , kept all our bikes cleaned up , never jumped off into that whole feminazi shit & been happy to be a girl , thanks for the link , I will read up on it , there aren't many bikers around me who ride their pans & knuckles like I do , there all for show so it'd be nice to meet other folks who actually ride their bikes .
Your wife has MS and still rides??? Wow she is lucky to be able to do that my father had MS and so does my sister i know what that does to a person. Their balance goes to shit after a while!!!
Baja5b nut case yes it does,2016 was the last yr my wife will ever ride one of her own bikes ,she rode her little Buell blast and had a help of a time with depth perception,she parked her fat boy for good and had to ride with me now,she only rides on the back for my feelings because I can see it's very little fun for her after riding her own bikes for 40 yrs . She just started taking the last IV medicine they can offer to MS patients to slow the nerve damage,it takes 4 hours to administer and makes her sick for 48 hours afterwards,I pray the meds give her back her life .
+mitchell brenner possible, I'm sure it had personal meaning. I've known the owner (he has sold the machine since the video) and the bike since the 1980's. Always the leg, never an explanation
I like that motor it be cool if sns redid that motor no one redoes motors older then the flat head that I know of its cool seeing the push rods working
they are really cool watching them run. I seriously doubt S&S will remake this motor though. Not enough interest in the 1920's stuff and not enough parts to put motor's into if they were made. Only the 1928 and 29 JD's had front brakes and the rear brakes did not work very well. These motor's do not fit into Knuckle, Pan or even VL frames.
superbe 26 ORIGINAL paint !!! I love the thing on front fender !! first time I see that on bike ... Is it a winds "speedo" do you have more info on this part Todd ? Thx Vince
HuntingHarleys Is that how you do it? Wouldn't that mean that there's a limited number of parts to go around? They must go for a pretty penny. I suppose a skilled craftsman could rebuild just about anything but still, not an easy task by any means.
We call them whirleygigs. What they were called new is unknown to me at this time. Back in the 20s - 50s, decorative fender trim was considered ultra cool
I would love to own a bike like that. I would restore it and make it my daily summer leisure driver. A 1917 Buick for my daily car for going to the city. For parts and hard wear. And buy/restore my gramps old model aa truck for my farm chores hunting/fishing. And haul. My uncle owns it.
I really hope whoever buys this DOESN'T restore it. That thing is perfect the way it is.
Connor Waits Not sure who owns it now, it has been sold and resold
Wow what an incredible piece
Love the handlebars on this bike! I think they are both cool looking and comfortable
That little 'fidget spinner' on the front fender is COOL!
I need a whirlygig and a prosthetic leg for my 09 ultra! thanks for sharing that fine old JD with us dreamers!
Oh wow very cool!!! Town and Country exhaust! I need one for my ironhead! Always loved that idea.
What an amazing machine!!!! 😎
if you watch the whole video, at the end he is commenting he took off in 3rd, not 1st.
Very nice bike, windmeter is brilliant :)
Thats some fancy freeking jewelry right there!
Fantastic, it's great these are still out on the road.

That bike starts up better than my dads 70s shovel pan hahaha
I remember this bike and Leonard, he's an original for sure. There was a guy named Kevin who also rode it pretty hard and bent the shit outta the rear rack when he took off with a theft chain attached...
Amazing.....history.....thanks for posting...
That's the coolest bike I've ever seen
Everybody talking about motorcycle, but anybody talking about leg on the back of motorcycle
cool old bike... not many of those left in original condition...
That bike looks my grandfather's neighbors in Los Altos California. My grandfather also had a whole garage full of Indian and triumph ,HD. Along with others. He sold his house on Linden Avenue. And moved to Sebastopol. California. And I think one of my goofy uncles ended up getting all the bikes when he passed away
If that Goofy Uncle wants to sell, I have a finder's fee waiting for you. 661 904 8512 or email huntingharleys@gmail.com
@@HuntingHarleys right on.
She's a beauty
What a dream bike!! fantastic!
Holy shit this runs better than some of the newer harleys!
And new Hondas
its a work of art my friend
Harley made a damn fine motorcycle in the 20'S 😃
.
Awesome! Love it!
Seems more reliable than a current day Harley.

Michael Ledford Best of luck to you both i know its a hard battle..
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Great running motorcycle!
we have always called them "whirlygig's". What they were called new I do not know. Era after market accessory.
simply beautiful in its own unique way. you deserve way more sinscribers (sic)
that bike is badass
That bike must have cost a leg but it's a beauty. Ride it at least once per week, though, to keep it going.
stunning
1:37 the chuck Taylor moves.
great patina,,,
whats with the leg ???
+DimitriTheSaint I never asked him
+HuntingHarleys good luck maybe?
+mitchell brenner possible, I'm sure it had personal meaning. I've known the owner (he has sold the machine since the video) and the bike since the 1980's. Always the leg, never an explanation

Is it a winds "speedo" do you have more info on this part Todd ?
Thx Vince
Great time, not the peg leg, the ride. The peg leg adds to the story though.
nice shirt, how many else picked that up?
Amazing
Awesome!!!
I find it odd there's a leg there did he sell bike with the leg
It's quite a beauty but I wonder, where does one find parts for something like that? Oh, and, what's with the foot?
easy, join the Antique Motorcycle Club of America
HuntingHarleys Is that how you do it? Wouldn't that mean that there's a limited number of parts to go around? They must go for a pretty penny. I suppose a skilled craftsman could rebuild just about anything but still, not an easy task by any means.
very cool!!!!!
Nice!
Looked like the wasn't fully in first when he was stalling it
What’s the thing spinning on the front fender??
We call them whirleygigs. What they were called new is unknown to me at this time. Back in the 20s - 50s, decorative fender trim was considered ultra cool
Whats with the leg? Did he sell you that bike or will he?
Whats with the weather vane on the front fender ?
an extremely rare front fender accessory from the era
thats cool
The Fake Leg Nice Touch👍
Is that the original foot brake?
Yes
What's that thing on the front fender spinning for
Today, most people call them whirelygigs. Their specific name when new is unknown to me
@@HuntingHarleys so what are they for to shine on coming light to be seen like reflectors
@@tyco5176 decoration, the 20's through early 70's saw people add custom dress up kits to their machines. Today, we have the big wheel bagger trend.
What is the gadget spinning on the front fender ?
A fender ornament called a whirlygig
Any history on the Whirlygig ?
20s 30s Harley accessory
