I built my 1969 shovel from a basket case in my kitchen for 3 years in the 90’s. I had to save 4 months to get my S&S super. It was a hard tail with fat on tank, tombstone tail light and I loved that bike. When I finished it, I rode it to sturgis from San Jose, CA. Alone and back. I was a true bug eater back then

[@jamescreek1319]

I remember riding my old bike with front forks like that in the rain 🌧 I had to tie my old tee shirt around the forks and let it rub the tire so I didn’t get a stream of dirty water right in my face lol just an old trick for you younger Dude’s stay up ⬆️.

[@olironrider8918]

Hadn’t even remembered about doin that in 50+ some years..!!!! 👍👍

Damn that’s some smart shit man definitely gonna try this next time 😂💪

And a Datsun in the drive well done!🔥🤘💪✌️

[@michaelheneise1612]

yea ,that got my attention as well. I wrecked my brother-in-law's 71 Datsun pick-up . I was so worried he would beat the crap out of me that I drove the thing with from the right fender digging into the tire .I at a friend's parents' house as I was 15 and he was 26 ! That suckered found me the next afternoon, and I thought I was never going to hear the end of it !

Magnifique la harley davidson vive les harley

[@Ross-sx8jd]

To my tastes exactly. Now, that's a chopper. I remember going into my friends house in '71 and there was a frame, a Triumph motor, beautiful springer front end, the works all tore apart until spring.. I actually prefer your Harley but they have similar lines . Never forgot those Z bars

[@justlovelyaintit]

Thats a beauty .Celebrating the beauty of that early shovel engine.

[@stephenmcmahon1496]

That's old school ! I love it !

Great vintage Harley! The Datsun caught my eye for sure. I ride an 08 Nightster Sporty and my first car was a Datsun B210!

[@olfatskootch]

Okay okay okay! I'll go out and wire up my ol shovel! Thanks!!

She’s a beauty. Kicking over is half the fun, if she starts😄 Had lots of experience with Super E and B carbs and found them very weather sensitive. Now I just push a button. I’m too old to kick anymore 😢

I just caught myself listening to this short like 6-7 times in a row lol that chopper is sexy!

[@bobpickersgill4470]

2 helpful suggestions: stock ignition switch wiring allowed lights to be off during start up (more juice to plugs). Increase idle up a bit

My mom would have appreciated your taste in cars, God rest her soul. Her first car was a '73 Cutlass Supreme, and her second car was a Datsun. Never did figure out what year or model the Datsun was, but she did say trading the Cutlass for it was one of the worst decisions she'd ever made. 😂
