We had one of those queen's edition 1977 triumph 750 parallel twins that was a trade in at Hughes Honda in 1979 ...it lasted about a week until someone bought it
Been down in the dumps all day, missing my deceased parents so much. This amazing, long and informative video, lifted my spirits a great deal, which I Thank You For, Brother. Much Love and Respect from New Orleans, La.
“If you want it enough and you put in the effort you can make anything happen. But there are sacrifices; sometimes you have to sell all your toys to get the museum to where it is, like I’ve done.

Thank you for sharing the love and true passion you have for old bikes , and for bringing this great event to people who couldn’t be there. My next big show is in Dania beach lots of vintage bikes and a great time.
I sold a 1979 SR500 (red) at Barbers this year that I drove by you while you were on the phone in your truck. Didn't want to interrupt. Your video, "HOT ROD '78 Yamaha SR500 Thumper", inspired the build and I pulled a very nice price for the bike. The buyer was from California and he wrote me 2 days later to inform me that his truck broke down on the way home so he hopped on the SR and road it from (somewhere in) New Mexico to Flagstaff, Arizona to get help. He told me the bike performed flawlessly! I was more proud of the bike performing than I was of the money I got for it. Somehow, I think that was part of your message of "achieving your goals and dreams". Thanks for keeping it real!
Absolutely amazing sir. Amazing motorcycles, people, vendors. I can't wait another great video from you sir Yes sir, I would totally be on sitting in my chair watching the motorcycles. Absolutely amazing crf 250 thank you Ken, great info. I didn't know that Best video ever. Oh my God😮❤❤❤ Sir, watching you for the longest time. You are the working man. You're a museum. I can't wait watching all the videos. It's absolutely mind-nobbing. Listening to your words goes far with me. It's amazing!
Kaplan You hit the nail on the head describing the inner drive of getting a dream bike. Nobody knows the two wheel urge that's in a bikers soul. Riding is like flying to me. Once you experience it, either its in you or not. When I hear a motorcycle off in the distance I always listen and watch if its coming my way. Your channel is great keep up your great work.
17:28 Ryan Rawls of RRL that's awesome. Been best friends with that guy since High school. Wish could have made it this year but the tickets were sold out! Definitely next year I'll make it. Great Vid as always!!
What an event!!! More cool bikes of every stripe and a row of "Snortin' Nortons" as far as the eye can see!! Bonus points for getting in trouble riding wheelies on your test ride Ken! Maybe it's just a little too country club there. Oh well....bring Christie next year to run interference for you!! Thank you for taking us along for the ride!!
Ken, this is why I watch you. I would have never found out about a americade if it wasn't for you, I am so totally going to this next year. I already looked into it. Birmingham Alabama 20-hour trip for me but I am going next year. Absolutely most fantastic video I have ever seen. The museum is absolutely been on my list for a very long time sir but I will see you this summer up in americade best video ever sir. Would never find these places if it wasn't for you❤❤

Thank You for helping freeing my mind-
