Great video. I purchased a 75 anniversary edition FLH full dresser new. I was 20 years old. Went all over the country with it. Did a complete rebuild at 70 thousand miles. Kept it for a total 18 years. I wish i had never sold it. Paid 4200$ sold it for 5000$. It had over 100 thousand miles. My bad.

Picked up a 2006 Sportster/Roadster right at T-Day. Pretty much gave retail but it had new tires, recent service and some service history. It's getting closer to what I want it to be and I'm looking forward to spring. Bought my first one 40 years ago in February 1982 and decided to finish life with another. 🤠

1997 Softail custom 1 owner garage kept. 11K miles. Runs great. Seller won’t take a dollar less than 6 grand. Should I keep looking or is that a fair price?

I know its trendy and "cool" to love the Evo and older, but the later TC's(96ci and up) are fantastic, reliable motors. I've had one for 7 years I scored cheap and I've done several 1,000 mile+ road trips and they'll hum along on the highway all day long. 6th gear and rubber mounts are nice on those long trips if you like to camp off your bike like I do. Not to mention that thanks to the dyna-bros, there's almost as much aftermarket support for these Dynas as the sportys. Mines been just as reliable as the two Evo's I own. To each their own.

Old Harley's and other old bikes are basically only for people that are mechanically inclined, If you cannot read a service manual especially schematics of engine parts which is just a small part of it, Then just stick with new bikes. Anything old if you do not get it real cheap is a money pit same goes for automobiles.

Wonderful topic, and two thumbs-up on your commentary. Got my '03 1200 Sportster in Nov. '23 (filling in for one I lost 18 years ago), and, agreed, the late fall/winter months set a tone in terms of how seriously you're going to be looking at a potential purchase; no impulsive, "I'm just gonna pay and ride outta here," thing. Had months to determine that the bike had been restored professionally, and loving every minute with The Black Fox now.

Likewise, I move away from “all it needs is…” If it was such a simple fix, they would have done it already. It is often cover for other hidden problems. Price accordingly.

I guess I got a steal on my shovelhead. 4K and rode it home with no issue. I've probably put close to that much into it afterwards though. A lot of stuff I didn't have to do, but I think it's been worth it.

You don't like twincam but 99 to 02 are easily the most reliable Harley out there after you upgraded the cam chain tensioners. You can run the ever loving piss out of them. Every vehicle I've owned I was last person to drive it and never had anything for more than 2 yrs. I've had my 02 lowrider for 5 years. Bike is very reliable and can take a beating.

@buttcrackcycles every one has their thing. I like everything 2 wheels that's not a Chinese knockoff. I don't understand why most don't. I appreciate anything purpose built. Plus pans and shovels are for filthy rich people anymore. I find it hard to pay 4 to 6k for a project evo when I can buy a low mile twincam that will absolutely rip circles around it lol. Then again I'm not a real biker just a practical enthusiast that likes to tare stuff up.

I've been daily riding a 2007 Road Glide, but I have a list of bikes I want to own. Earlier this month I saw a listing for a 1980 FXWG. Did exactly what you said. Showed up with a trailer and cash. Bike needs minor work but runs and rides. Got it home for $5200 plus some parts thrown into the deal. Never even thought about this being the best time to buy. I just this and had to go look at it. I've always wanted a wide glide and I've always wanted any Harley with a shovelhead engine. This checks both boxes.
