Get off my phone lady!

That over a modern bike any day....SWEEEEEEEEEEET

Matt, I just love to watch your DAD work. You’re lucky, you must have learned so much from him. Glad you’re keeping everything going.❤

great information, need to kill the music though

How can a ultraluxury car engine be so noisy? Haven't they invented mufflers by 1915?

A very cool event loaded with cool Nortons!

Nice!!

His enthusiasm was so infectious. One of the few people I never met whose loss touched me deeply. I'm glad his son is keeping his legacy going!

That's where Matt learned to be a one kick man

Dale waksler was a motorcycle guru you passed along so much knowledge

I grew up doing Harley engines at my Dads shop, Lindskog Balancing just west of Boston. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy seeing Dale assemble that lower end. It’s been over 40 years since I’ve honed rod races for oversized rollers and trued the flywheels. Looking forward to seeing the Wheels Through Time Museum. Matt you’re a very lucky guy ! 😊

Last October 2023, A group of us rode from Las Vegas to Gatlinburg to ride the Tail of the Dragon. While we were there, we decided to go to Wheels Through Time to see the Museum. It was on a Wednesday and you guys were closed. Even though you were closed, you graciously allowed us to go in for 15 minutes to look around. We were so grateful that we made sure to spend some money to make it worth your while because you made it worth ours to open up for us. Thank you. Here is the video of our trip where we chronicled our visit to Wheels Through Time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoapk4enaN2Nbposi=Khgg1SKwWncLmLPA

I didn’t know the trick about heating a seized engine with a hot plate. Very clever. The olive green survived probably because it was one of three tough, long-lasting industrial oil-based colors (i.e. green, black & gray.)

I wonder if Eric Buell drew inspiration from the Pierce’s fuel-in-frame design.

a YOUNG Matt!!! Love these Old Bikes!! MLLH&R to the Walkslers..

Every .027 of a inch would be equal to a degree I believe......😊

Amazing the skill the knowledge I wish he was my dad.

Awesome

THE MUSIC SUCKS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING!!!

That's my favorite engine

Just wondering...no mention of either the final torque loading on the crankpin nuts or the minimum runout tolerances (of the sprocket & pinion shafts) when truing the flywheels or of the balance factor used on a WR engine? This would have been useful information.

I'm so thankful for his time here with us. What a great, great man. Thank you for posting!

i found Wheels Through Time only recently and have watched countless uploads of Matt... watching Dale is a bonus

Best ever!!! Grest work Dale. Matt has taken over the helm and all is well in his capable hands. You taught him well 🇺🇸⭐🇺🇸

I know it’s late but that bike on the lift looks like the 2023 raffle bike!

I wonder how many other bikes use the frame as the fuel and oil tanks. Maybe this is where Erik Buell got the idea

dam that was great seeing a young matt and dale doing what dale dose best teaching

❤❤❤ 1915 Locomobile Town car❤❤❤

Love seeing people doing what they love. His passion runs deep. Love it

Matt , you are so lucky to have worked with your Dad and learned so much from him , and spending time with him must have been awesome ! Hope you guys got along well !

From here in Australia. Long time motorcycle fan, but not so much Harleys. Though Matt, you and your dad’s infectious enthusiasm have somewhat changed my attitude. Especially for flathead Harleys. My late father served ww2 with US Merchant Marines and then resided in SF/Oakland post war. During that time he became mates with what was known as the Three Bears MC. Dad never rode bikes and photos from that time are more likely showing him at the wheel of a club Mercury convertible (nevertheless, an impressive vehicle). Must confess though, as an ignorant kid and motorcycle enthusiast I must have felt an entitlement to many of his old pics that I’ve of course since lost. Shame on me, because many of them depicted post war flat trackers. As I recall, mostly pictured with steel shoes clearly visible astride some kind of Harleys with springer front ends around 1947. Maybe they were WRs? Guess we’ll never know due to my poor custodianship. Thanks that Matt and family are responsible custodians of motorcycle history. Keep up your great work! ✊

Dale now I know where your son got it from awesome

Cool looking bike

What a artist. That level of assembly would take many years of constant work to be able to learn.

2nd best use of rolling papers ever witnessed by me..... Your dad is one of my all time heroes. I haven't made it to Maggie valley yet, but it's in the works. I literally cried when I found out your dad had passed. They broke the mold when they made him. It must have been a very interesting childhood growing up with a dad like him. He's building motorcycles for the great spirit now. God always puts the best on his Crew.

Miss you Dale THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Built when craftsmanship was the standard instead of a buzzword. Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Everybody misses that motorcycle, mechanical genius!😢

Increadible. So gorgeous.

Wow. Thats nuts (and bolts).

Do you think he noticed that he bumped the magneto as he was tightening it down?

The first car that Charlie Chaplin owned was a 1918 Locomobile.

Thank you for sharing all that knowledge with us!

Bril! That old bike just wanted to go!. Great job. Nuff said!. 🙂

like this guys attitude.imho,edwinstarr23.

Love this channel. Love watching these videos. Wish you guys would team up with a channel such as motortrend to see more of this type of content on tv.

Amazing bike. Such a tribute to Dale!

Missed but not forgotten.

I cant imagine how scary having that issue while actually riding would be, just taking off hauling ass at full throttle lol

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. What a legend.
