1950 Harley Davidson FL Panhead Startup and Ride

[@5bellaful]

You starting your panhead reminded me of my father starting his panhead when I was a little kid Thanks

[@ericsissenwein3601]

I had shovels and evos but never a pan or knuckle. A neighbor has a nice 45 and rides by occasionally. I guess I’m priced out of the market but you filled your garage with nice stuff. Classic.

[@oby-1607]

That is one fine, sweet ride. I would love to own one of those but they are so rare. That idle was so smooth for a panhead.

[@dansadventuresacrossameric806]

Great pan had mine 40 years just had to put a electric start on mine bad knees won't lie its nice

[@francoisfavreau769]

[@duggydugg3937]

the commie central planners hadn't gotten as good a grip on our government yet.. national debt now $30 TRILLIONS

[@railroad7401]

Looks about the same as the 49 Pan that has owned me for over 40 years! Not bone stock but pretty close.

[@justinphillips5702]

I know those pans can be a pain to start cold😒 but,.... damn they sound good after they’re running

[@I2SUSA]

Sounds like a 9n tractor

[@electroguy2007]

[@barrybray7354]

[@ericoczenaschek5847]

Old school love it

[@ericheine2414]

Every Panhead has a combination to get it to start. Try crank the throttle three times. Count to 20, And kick

[@mikhailelruso8753]

SINCE 1903 H.D.

[@charliebowman785]

riding this iron is what splits up male gender in two; men and kids. The machine of my dreams.

[@zoranzoranic4534]

That is the rigtht harley sounds

[@DavidLouisLouis-qh9ni]

This is almost the same bike I bought from a Government auction, , mine was a stripped-out postal delivery motorcycle, Great on the short rides, but would absolutely beat you to death on the freeway 🇺🇸♥️🗽‼️ I'm still vibrating from my suicide ride from Chicago to Manhattan and back 🤣🤣🤣 As Always patriotically inspired by American steel ♥️🗽‼️ Diamond Dave ♦️♦️♦️ e

[@drewc8796]

Love the bike, but it's an "enrichener", NOT a "choke", just sayin'

[@braysanborn6000]

OLDS COOL 🇺🇸

[@davidcook1166]

Sweet ride....51FL rider in Tulsa.....what piston and cam combo are you running?.....

[@waynefarley1029]

Sounds like float level is a little low

[@duggydugg3937]

flatties didn't have overhead valves..

[@josephsorea4729]

Is it for sale?

[@duggydugg3937]

that's a panhead..an FL or even an FLH

[@I2SUSA]

FL

[@nmaddog4689]

Had to look real quick at the serial #50FL

[@duggydugg3937]

correct

[@adamc4655]

Nice,she seems to be starving for fuel

[@Johnclark300]

That's a real Harley Davidson 100 % American made. The new Harley Davidson's are junk not real Harley Davidson to me.

[@TheSkylark16]

The last american made harley was 1969

[@Johnclark300]

​@TheSkylark16 100% correct, I am surprised Harley Davidson are still in business. It's embarrassing they sell foreign made stuff with Harley Davidson bar and shield on it. I looked at where all the new bikes are made, india,china,Mexico,Japan, Australia. My buddy had an 03' street glide and the ECM had a sticker that said designed in U.S.A. made in China, I laughed so hard I cried.

[@TheSkylark16]

@@Johnclark300 I'm totally fine with japanese parts during cone shovels and evos, Keihin CV Carbs, Showa suspensions and Hitachi Starter were good quality products, however in Twin Cam & M8 Harley they loaded up with tons of chinese craps to keep up with their profits and it's gone too far, I personally hold on to my 1967 Shovelhead, never gonna buy a new ones!
