Old bikes like this have a certain soul that can't really be described with words. It's about sound, feel, smell, and the fact that they are windows into the past. Great installment. I never miss a bike episode.

Harley Davidson's, they continue to amaze me with the reliability and overall stabilities it has over decades. I got my dads 1992 Sportster, just a month ago, I did the same TLC and replaced the starter motor, it fired right up after three seconds holding the start switch after sitting since 1996 it has straight pipe, so it fired up loud and proud! It's a cruisers dream!

Mr. Leno: There are no words. Thank you for sharing. My '36 Knuckle story dates back to 1978. Me, my wife and our 2 boys traveled up Pikes Peak on vacation. At the top were several old guys on their circa '30's & 40's Harley's. I fell in love with a specific '36 Knucklehead, the most beautiful engine Harley has ever built in my opinion. All of those guy's had ridden from Los Angeles and Pikes Peak was their destination. Thanks to you sir, I just relived a fond memory watching this video. You just made an old man very happy. My current and last Harley: 2006 Dyna Wide Glide, aka: "Last Chance". She'll go to my grandson when I'm gone. Thanks again.

when i was 20..now 54..a man befriended me..a true self reliant west Texan..being 20 i knew everything..he had a surplus WLA he rode pretty much everywhere on those bumpy dusty lonely Texas FM back roads..matter of fact he had been doing so with the same bike well before i was born in 1964..one day i asked him why he didn't get a better bike? it seemed he was always doing something to it..(later in life i realized not only was he just doing routine maintenance ..he enjoyed the simple bond of man and machine) well he looked up at me while wiping the bike down and said : "what for?..this is a air cooled job with balloon tires perfectly suited for around here" then i said with all my long years of experience.. but its so slow..lol..ill never forget..he looked down at the baked Caliche..shook his head ..then looked up through squinted eyes and said : "when this bike was built a 100 mph was plenty fast for the roads back then which were mostly dirt and for around here half that speed is pretty fast with the wash board and silt holes..now its been almost 35 years since ive seen my beloved friend and now im older i realize he gave me so many pearls of wisdom..i hope hes well and i like to think hes still putting around on that ole harley..

Knuckleheads are every old school Harley riders dream bike, when I started looking for an old Harley in 1979, knuckles were already expensive, and they've only gone up, I've seen bikes like Jays for sale from 80, to well over 100 grand.

I lived in Long Beach, CA from '83 to '86 and rode bikes the whole time. I met a guy once who ran into Jay at the Rock Store and several of them went riding. They ended up somewhere near Burbank. Jay said something like, "Hey, you guys want to see my garage?" Granted, that was 30 years ago, but still, can you imagine walking into that place? Motorhead paradise.

About 1 5 years ago I met a fellow down in Sturgis S.D. He had ridden his knucklehead from Seattle, pulling a trailer. These old beasts were WAY ahead of their time. I was riding a 1955 Royal Enfield made in India in 1995 (yep, identical and unchanged since they started building them). Some of those good old ideas are still with us and its both important and cool to honour the legacy and the innovation. Thanks Jay.

Casey Jones You know, when Jay began the video stating that his favorites were original and unrestored, my mind went directly to vintage vehicles. There's a history lesson as well as a look at engineering and design prior to electronic band-aids and the EPA. My first girlfriend's dad raced Husqvarnas in the Mojave 500, so I have a warm spot in my heart for Huskys.

Heart and soul , Harley Davidson is a great motorcycle, darn near bullet proof, stone reliable and will hopefully be around for hundreds of years. I have a 2008 Heritage Softail which I ride hard and often. I have never had a problem with her and it is like no other MC I have ever owned which is four prior bikes: BSA, Suzuki, and a Honda . Are prior bikes were great bikes but the HD is truly fulfilling .

I'd never think that I would ever like any other motorcycle than the '79 Honda CBX, but when seeing those videos about the Brough Superior SS100, HRD Vincent Series A Rapide, The 4-cylinder Henderson, or '36 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, I mean, these bikes really have something special about them. Modern bikes look all the same time, like cell phones or tablets. Maybe they are good, but they lack personality. Those classic bikes, they have so much character.

Andrew Piatek Okay, old man. Keep stroking yourself thinking about your '79 CBX. It's laughable that you included it with those real classics like it's an Indian Four. You might want to try something that came out since Reagan was in office. They have things like fuel injection and hydraulic valves now. Now get to Bob Evans for dinner so you can be in bed by 9:00. BTW, having a modern cell phones isn't a bad thing, dummy. Saying things like that just makes you seem addled and confused by the modern world. You're like Brooks in Shawshank. Have a good day, old timer.

My older brother wanted to buy it but he only had $100 (he had earned from mowing lawns). He asked our dad for the remaining $50 but he refused (sigh). I have always loved older Harleys. Thanks for all your videos, Jay...I love 'em!

Speaking of things that sat since 1952 - I have an Aeronca L3B airplane that I am working on; when I tore down the engine, it became clear to me that I could have just put oil in it and fired it up! It was that well preserved, although no effort had been made to do so; it simply sat in a dry shed for over 60 years. I wonder if 60y years from now there will even be any "classic" vehicles of any kind. Nothing is built to last and nothing I see out there has any kind of inherent qualities of aesthetics of interesting engineering that makes it stand out. Love your channel, Mr Leno - you are man who knows how to spend his money.

That's an 80 yr old machine. To put it in perspective, eighty years before this bike was manufactured was 1856 and that was before the Civil War, The thing is ancient and not just a whole lot different from current air cooled V twin Harleys The original engine design was good enough that it could be kept and just refined over the years yet perform as well as many more modern designs.l

A fantastic episode and it's really great to have the opportunity to take part of this beautiful motorcycle. The knowledge about the history of Harley Davidson that you have Jay is very interesting. It was a little hard to hear what you said in some sections of the episode. Thanks Jay !!! 🌪🇸🇪💚🇺🇲👍⭐ Tchoo Tchoo 🚂

It was probably the only one he had at the shop at the time. It's certainly better than no helmet. Wayyyyyy to many people on their cell phones these days not to wear a helmet.

irritablearchitect I was curious too so searched for pictures of French cars. I have to agree with Justin Cunningham and say it's a Panhard 24 Wikipedia has this good pic of one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_24#/media/File:Panhard-Levassor_24CT_(1964)_pic1.JPG

In 1998, I had an accident while on a 1984 Sportster. Hit a raccoon and became a quad. People think I'm nuts when I say I'd love to ride again but I'd love to feel my face in the wind. I do enjoy watching your motorcycles videos. Keep 'em coming!

An old friend of mine is a dental technician, he makes false teeth, etc. When he was at university he worked on "lower mandible reconstructions" for bikers who face-planted in open-faced helmets. He warned me to stick to full-face lids at all costs and I always have. In fact I wear the same brand of lid as Jay. Sometimes a modicum of safety trumps appearances.
