    I love the fact that every time Matt starts one of these classic bikes up you would think it was the first time, he had experienced it. Pure joy!

    I love this channel too and its great hearing you experts talking about these beautiful old and rare american bikes. Your restorations are so original and as good and accurate as possible. Its so good the museum is there for your father was an amazing bike enthusiast and keeping his dream going is the biggest compliment and it just doesnt get better than this. I love it, thank you so much for enabling us foreigners to experience the excitement of seeing you talk about them and even better, work on and ride them. A huge thank you also to the older generation for donating their beautiful machines.

    What's "ultra rare" is to find a dude as genuine and just awsome to even listen to as Matt. He has forgot more about these old bikes than most of us could even dream of learning. Top notch museum run by top notch people. Another great video 💯

  • @lugnuts7800
    @lugnuts7800 Год назад +1

    Anyone who doubts that the first starts are exactly that, don't understand the integrity of good honest people. There are plenty of questionable characters in the world. I will always stand with and defend good, honest, God fearing people. Especially if they love Harley Davidsons and classic iron. Much love and respect to you all at the shop. I'm a car painter by trade, and I'd move across the country and paint for you for free. I love and believe in what you do. Thank you for being true to the heritage that brings and binds us together. God bless you all.

    Hell Yeah. I love that little road racer. You guys are living the dream. I'm going to come down there this year and check out the museum Matt. Get my tickets for the giveaway bike. Maybe I'll get to ride that knuckle home this year. If not this year's bike, next year's for sure...later

I’d love to ride that, bet it will carry the groceries ! Sounds great that exhaust fits it. You two did a great job, except being color blind. 🏍👍🇺🇸

  • @keithspillman
    @keithspillman Год назад +1

    Love all these first starts. Just curious......So there's no first start break-in on a bike engine like you have on a car engine? On the car engines I build I usually run a steady 2000-2500rpm or so to break in the cam and try not to let it idle for the first 15 minutes or so. None of this needed on a bike engine?

    • @NBSV1
      @NBSV1 Год назад

      Part of the reason for the 2000-2500rpm on a car engine is because much of the oil for the cam is from oil slinging off the crank and oil draining from the head. So, you need some rpm to make sure everything is well oiled.
      Old bikes like this don’t really circulate oil like more modern stuff and rely on only a few ounces of oil in the bottom end. So, holding a higher rpm isn’t needed to keep things lubes. And, they’re normally using parts that are used so may not need as much break in.

    I like how you hear engine noise that Chris and Steve do not. Must be in the genes! You heard the skip and the push rod. Awesome. BTW, did you hit that lower case on the lift ramp? I thought I heard the tell tale noise of that as I do it all the time with my Springer. (Its lowered)

    Do you guys run regular pump gas in these startups or do you use a premium grade without alcohol in the gas or is there something other? Just curious. Also it looked like the ramp and the floor are the same distance from the top stroke of the kick start. Is there some formula where it becomes different when it comes off the ramp and goes to the floor?

    grandpa rode a harley in ww2 as well as drove a jeep.
    could i bring in a basket case 44-45 project to have you guys finish it? im west coast so itd be a long planning phase, but im absolutely in love with those old bikes. id love to see what grandpa felt, racing behind enemy lines to disarm mines.
    well minus the chance of getting shot or hitting one of those mines haha.
    id also love to gift your museum a few books written by the 3rd infantry, engineers battalion. they overwhelmingly used a jeep for the commander of the mission, while the bomb disarmers rode Harleys ahead of them.
    thank you for continuing these icons stories.
