Always amazed at the way Matt just rolls out the information 😮
And ignores what the Europeans were doing....
@@bananabrooks3836 He doesn’t ignore it, but he’s an American motorcycle expert, not european
Dude has pure passion for the bikes it's obvious and pleasure to watch him narrate his video 📷
@@acr21957Don't get me wrong, l do appreciate most vintage motorcycles and especially the 30's before Ww2 arrested development.
@@bananabrooks3836 and probably still knows more about Euro bikes than most, he only talks about American bikes with passion as that where his passion is, that's what the museum is and it's a pure joy to watch
Just visited this place and it was great. The staff interacts with the guests and answered questions and they know their stuff.
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.
My go to is a 58 OP FL, it used to be my 65 bastard
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.
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 ☮️
Visited your place a couple years ago, loved it !! and enjoy your video content. Keep up the great work !!
What a dream bike
If I was to build one I wouldn't change a thing
Love the bobbed fenders . Bars .and color scheme. Great job
Always loved this channel
👌Agree ,what a beauty
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....
A literal dream bike. Always did want a Knuckle. That and a '57 Bel Air are the dream garage. Simple, and very attainable.
It's an incredibly beautiful machine, well done guys!
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.
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
Hey Dale we need more videos of you riding. It’s so satisfying watching a living legend riding his own builds. Not to mention the machines are just flawless.
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!!
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 .
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.
Love your knowledge. You have a good internet platform for without looking over our history and transportation vehicles
Same as my ‘78 Lowrider! I put on a ‘36 trans side cover and kick arm.
Beautiful bike!
I’d love to have it ! That is rolling Life ! Just Beautiful, the work you guys do is second to none !
even without the dampeners those springers handle really well
Hydraulic dampening makes this the PERFECT front end. Far superior to telescoping hydro front ends.😇
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...
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.
face is the worst
Wow, that's a beauty.
Sir, cheers from France, you passion is incredible, you share so many love for the motorcycle world, this channel is benchmark for bike's lovers.
thanks
Gorgeous bikes wish I could afford them 😍
I wish there was a museum like this in the Netherlands.
American Motorcycle Museum in Raalte
@@ronaldhuijzer7105 noted. Thanks
@@ronaldhuijzer7105 balen. Ben daar nu 20 min vandaan. Maar gaan vandaag weer naar huis. Helaas geen tijd voor vandaag.
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.
Good morning from Amsterdam.
Goedemiddag!
I'm usually not a raffle guy, but this bike won't let me sleep.
The springer front end , the knuckle, and the hard tail has me sold. Very reliable
I gotta agree with you on the Pre 65 four speeds being good stuff. The new knuckle you all have built is an absolute show stopper, it looks absolutely amazing. Matt, job well done to you and your whole crew.
What's wrong with the '65 up trans.?
@@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.
Wow that sounds incredible Matt...
I love the knucklehead! The knucklehead is a work of Art!🙋♂️
Getting my tickets soon! Beautiful bike!
God willing heading back there in 2023 . Love the place 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲😎
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
Good morning from Missouri. Thanks for the great content.
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.
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.
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!
That is one awesome looking motorcycle Matt 😎👊
So looking forward to riding this machine around Snowdonia in Wales UK this year.
Tony & Susan here, Just fantastic
Can't wait to ride it Matt. 😀
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! 🤞🤞
Great video. Greatest motorcycle ever.
Gorgeous bike cracking weather heaven thanks
I can see myself riding that to California. Can’t wait to win it😉
Beautiful bike and I really like the mello exhaust tone!
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
Support the Museum and get your chance at owning this '37 Knucklehead here >> wheelsthroughtime.com/win-this-bike
Beautiful nostalgia...🎉better 🌄 than hard 😈 drinking or ....lol
Absolute great bike and engineering... 🏠
Thanks, Matt. It’s snowing here in Ohio. You have fun !
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.
Man I love this channel. Lots of love from the UK ❤
Well the Pan is even more suitable for modern roads, but as a mechanic you have to fall in love with the Knucklehead...
Beautiful motorcycle you did a great job building it. They are Cool ! 😎
Very awesome!!!
Absolutely amazing
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
I'm sure that is a good suggestion in that area, but Americans love their Harleys a lot, and that will never change! 😊
No thanks. I like my Panhead.😇
Fair enough, were I living in America it's what I would've said as well, hope spares are available readily, happy riding!
Gotta chime in.
Most bikes may not be suitable for today's roads. True. But I see some in clip that go great on a board track race. Those 1910's you got there have created a new(I guess new) wave of peeps who put em back to racing. Small in numbers, maybe....but the board track scene has made a comeback.
MOTOR CLASSIC KEREN BANGET,BIKIN SAYA TERPESONA.😊
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.
It's beautiful!
How do I get a ticket to win please sir.
What a beauty !
Defiantly the most beautiful bike with the knuckle springer
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.
It's a beautiful bike. I have my tickets 🤞🏼🙏🏼
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.
That is such a good looking bike
Beautiful machine
not me the UL is my faverite ride HAPPY TRAILS
It is art!
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 !!!
Beautiful bike😊
I would love to own that beauty.
Привет!В Америке с какого года начали устанавливать указатели поворотников на мотоциклы ? С 60-х ?
I need one!
The Indian 4 is the greatest bike to ever grace the road. Then and now..
Matt love the contents of the channel thanks kelvin harley /triumph rider england
Your content is really good
insane work!
Bellissima Harley!!! Bel telaio fluido e tante emozioni
Ain’t she a beauty ; ✊🏻👍👌my first ride on a HD was on the back of 47’ knuck ; bobbed wide glide front end .
Well ; I was hooked !!!-
That bike looks fun
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.
I got a 2013 Dyna super glide fxdc custom would love to ride a older Harley Davidson
Awesome from NZ
Amazing motorcycle, first ever watching this model, where is your address sir?
What's the wheel and tire setup on this bike?
Love your show. I am in position of a 1969 police addition Harley. Was my dads, would love to give to my son. Hasn't run since my dad died in 82. Any suggestions?
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.
That would be amazing to win.
But would buy heaps if it was of a 1967 model. Even pay for it to be shipped overseas
Can’t wait to ride it the 937 miles back to Fort Worth, TX after I win!
Where can I buy a harley coach jacket??
Always liked the knucklehead .
I live in Australia, if I bought a ticket, would I be eligible to own the bike if my ticket was drawn?
I love it…. But I like last year’s better… but I sure wouldn’t complain… thanks buddy…
