Nice. I had a 1973 Shovel and starting procedure, even when kick starting was much more simple. No different from my current ride, a 1988 Evo. Turn on gas, pull choke, pump throttle twice, and start.
Pretty much. Or set choke. Kick bick 3 times with ignition off. Then turn ignition on. Twist throttle just a little and give her good full kick. Starts up. That's how my panhead fires up
@@michaelmitchell5909 nah I have a 1200 Sportster and an 88 ci road king. The Evo definitely has a better sound. I love the road king but it doesn't compare to the Evo.
I’m sorry the new bikes just don’t compare. Anything with a distributor and a CARBURETOR is absolutely workable. Just do your oil changes. Learn how to use locktite. Hydrologic lifters are fine. The bike you’re showing is sweet. Just warm it up. They say the new ones are more reliable. Who knows? I’ve seen videos about recalls. Years ago you didn’t have recalls, you keep all the parts clean and snug. I stopped loving them when they went with that lower end. I always felt the separate trans was much easier to do some easy modifications, and between us there is a COOL FACTOR as well. Riding today you have to be more alert. Way too much wacky traffic out there. It’s tough. I had a 1976 Bicentennial SuperGlide. It lad the graphics on the tank. By itself it was a great bike. Straight drag pipes. Custom shifters.
I love how the guy talks to the other guy like he knows nothing about bikes 🏍. Throttle is on this side, brake on this side, roll towards you to go and hit the brake to stop. Then he tunes his carb with his fingers and the one guy is like......oh......ok.....this is hilarious
question I have a 75 xlch Sportster what is the proper way to describe this bike I've heard people say it's an Ironhead Sportster it's a Shovelhead Sportster or Ironhead Shovelhead Sportster you are very knowledgeable please let me know what you think
HuntingHarleys thanks bro I'm going to look into that I planned to turn into a 93 cubic inch Stroker next winter pretty mechanically inclined but this is my first real Harley I mean I have a 2013 Softail Deluxe with all the bolt on parts that are out there but this is my first intimate bike that I have hard tailed and ripped apart thanks for the tip
several things. The owner (not me - Todd, walking around the bike) is showing me (and those watching) how to start the machine. I find it beneficial to pay attention to the owner of a machine tell me his way to start. Sometimes there is a trick to it you need to know. If you think all bikes start the same way, especially kick start harley's, your only showing your ignorance. If you want to know who I am (Todd) I suggest you watch this video. ruclips.net/video/YSz9wn_wEp0/видео.html There is a reason why there are over 1500 videos on cool old Harleys on this channel. I did not just start doing this a few years ago.
You may be right. But, working as an RN in a hospital for quadripeligic injuries, I learned something. When one becomes a ward of the state due to head injuries, it cost the gov't over 100 k to care for you on a yearly basis.
If I am dead why would I care though? And at any type of speed even if its 55 MPH your dead . One more though though. I lost my left leg from the knee down back in 02. Lady ran a red light and My chopped panhead with me in the saddle went straight into that car. Helmet would never save my leg. wasnt wearing one that day and dont wear one now. Running a 82 FXR [shovelhead] and an 09 Dyna Street Bob . I still have my wrecked pan. Havent bothered to rebuild the old girl yet . Hemet just isnt my choice . I respect your choice to wear one though. I just cant stand the things .
@@chopperchopster I really don't care. I had my 56 pan that looked just like it. Loved it. But, the cops dogged me all the time. And we had lots of BS laws. I was just lucky never hurt bad on a big bike.
I have an 09 sportster 883 low and I just want to say if it takes that much work and preparation to just start a bike then you won’t see me riding that monster
Primitive as hell.just looks cool. Fails on all other factors.like reliability.comfort.safety.can you imagine trying to ride that beast all day. You would need a chiropractor.
Living all the best bikes in seeing, but this is by far my favorite.
Even the Dog Barks with approval of that Shovel Head Straight Pipes sound. : )
He wanted a ride !
I miss the sound of these shovels. I never hear them anymore like in the 80s.
Mostly out of the country. Want to hear them daily? Move to Japan
That start-up ritual brought back memories. But he forgot a critical step- a quick prayer to the great god Googly Moogly. He was lucky this time.
That bike just took me back to when I was 25, riding my hardtail with a Springer front end
Always liked the sound of a good running shovel with drag pipes!
No
Beautiful ride! I have never ridden a rigid but would love to be able to say that it was mine.
Streep as it could get. Nice ride man
Real good buy real nice bike wish i had it.
Wicked bike, starting procedure videos are always interesting.
Yes it is. I will try it on my shovel.
Shovelhead = best sounding Harley of all time

I feel spoiled, I get into a certain distance of my bike (harley) and I can flip the switch and vroooooooom
Very nice machine 💪. Old school ✌️
Real man's bike. Gotta love kicker rigid shovels.
How do you bury a twin cam? WITH A SHOVEL!
L.o.l!
Sounds delectable 😎
Beautiful shovel guy
thats real Sound of a shovel head harley, greetings from Germany !!!!!!!!!!!
man did that 1st start sound good.
sounds great i had one
Love shovels cool boke
OMG! what a Bike i love it
Still do you have that beauty
Geez I really think shovels, evos and panheads sound so much better than twin cams and m8 motors
Bunnyshooter 223 yeah for sure! The twin cams and m8 won’t be that sought after, the evo will be the last of the classic Harley engines
I have a twin cam 120R engine in a wide glide. The exhaust note pounds, you can feel it.
@@st.george9404 shut em all up on that one.. Haha..
@@st.george9404 now that's a sick ass bike I'm sure
@@michaelmitchell5909 nah I have a 1200 Sportster and an 88 ci road king. The Evo definitely has a better sound. I love the road king but it doesn't compare to the Evo.
Oh wow! Look at that seat! What a good looking bike!

Like frame and color

66 was first year for the shovelhead.Was also electric start,this feature may have been deleted on this bike.
65 was the first year for electric start and not all shovelheads were electric start. Only the Electraglides were
Nice Bike.
no front brakes thats old school no fucks given
Such sweet ride!!!
This bike is perfect
Thank You for sharing that video. Just about like my old pan. Just a bit nicer than the one I had. Great looking sounding bike.
Old School Motorcycle
Next bike..... Shovelhead!
very good !!!
Shit looks fun
Hope mine looks half that nice when i get it done.
what is the frame on this '66?
aftermarket, possibly Jammer
NICE ✌🌴☮
Awesome Beauty
I didnt know Patrick Stewart had so many tattoos and rode a rigid shovel chopper??? Fuckin Captain Prickhard!
question I have a 75 xlch Sportster what is the proper way to describe this bike I've heard people say it's an Ironhead Sportster it's a Shovelhead Sportster or Ironhead Shovelhead Sportster you are very knowledgeable please let me know what you think
Ironhead sportster. The factory never made a Shovelhead Sportster. However, you can, with care and MONEY, put a Shovelhead top end on a Sportster.

Afh3000 white explorer!
I had a mostly stock 66 shovel. kick & electric that's the way to go. LOL
Shovels have an awesome sound to them..
that's the sound of a real bike.
Suite scoot😁😎🇺🇸
Whos this guy telling Todd of all people how to start a bike?? Lol

that's true..everyone knows their own tricks about their bikes i guess..love the channel!
Put a starter on it
I guess I never was too cool. I always wore a helmet gloves and steel toed boots. The pavement hurts when you hit it.
+Scott Weatherman yes it does but helmets arent gonna do much for you if actually riding fast
You may be right. But, working as an RN in a hospital for quadripeligic injuries, I learned something. When one becomes a ward of the state due to head injuries, it cost the gov't over 100 k to care for you on a yearly basis.
@@chopperchopster yea but at least your family could have a open casket if you have a helmet

Nothing sounds better than a "Flat Side" Shovel... P.S. get rid of that ham can air filter cover will yeah ?...
the jackel LOL!, 1200 Cone Shovels sound no diffrent.

I'm hooked on hh.
I have an 09 sportster 883 low and I just want to say if it takes that much work and preparation to just start a bike then you won’t see me riding that monster
Then your not a old skool biker. Trailer queens are every where.
@@oneer8435 Trailer queens? He just said he wouldn't have the bike, period.
1:11 😆
Finally some real bikers on youtube caint do no twin cam garbage with lost yuppies give me some old iron and brothers that smell of oil and gasoline
Its awesome watching how people know how to start their bike, but this guy buying it won't be able to do it that quick for a month or two.
Primitive as hell.just looks cool. Fails on all other factors.like reliability.comfort.safety.can you imagine trying to ride that beast all day. You would need a chiropractor.
I love how he doesn't even know they are called rigid not ridged because that doesn't even make any goddamn sense.
I lake harly i won motor cikle harly
Got to love a shovel !
