I thought he was gonna adjust his timing not pull out a pair of fashionable boots. 🇺🇸

[@drmikemerkt]

Hahahah!! It actually doesn’t kick back much at all. Plus I have the Morris G5 mag which has the auto retard feature

[@mike7197]

Hey, those boots look good on you on the bike. Thorogood makes a great moc toe, just as good as Red Wing IMO for a lot less $$..

[@drmikemerkt]

Absolutely they do!

[@bladen0869]

The fact you have built a bike you enjoy and to your personal taste, well makes my opinion irrelevant. Great job sir! Much respect , ride safe…

[@drmikemerkt]

Thank you!!!

[@michael_krug]

Thank goodness you found the fix

[@drmikemerkt]

Right?!?!

[@DWchopshop]

Ret*rd your ignition a few degrees. That's the actual fix.

[@drmikemerkt]

It actually very rarely kicks back…had former factory HD flat track mechanic Brent Thompson help me with timing. When I was making this it actually started 1st kick 😂

[@glennstatham960]

Those boots are the difference! Glad I was able to help haha! Sweet bike, sounds great, and I like the jacket too!!

[@drmikemerkt]

No doubt, you’re the man! Hahaha

[@s3c0ndkz]

Came for the kickback tips, stayed for the vibe 😅 @glennstatham960

[@robertrodriguez2412]

Well reckon I am gonna check them boots out. Nice scooter.

[@user-ll9zd2dh6h]

[@guntherelliot-smith1137]

the background looks like an episode of Neighbors. Just looking for the golf buggy and a triangular welcoming committee.

[@drmikemerkt]

You’re not wrong! Handful of golf carts in the neighborhood. Goal is to hopefully get a single family home in the next year or two. Until then this place is great. Not a ton of spots that have garages connected down here

[@kennethdoughty644]

From PAN-HEAD to Fashion Show..

[@BiztoryTime]

[@drmikemerkt]

I can't enable in-app notifications; says in your channel home that this is content made for kids.

[@drmikemerkt]

Got it changed I think!

[@randyb726]

That pink don’t look right girl

[@drmikemerkt]

😂😂😂

[@larry68hd11]

Don't kick back as bad as sportster

[@drmikemerkt]

True statement!!

[@EIRE1980]

Thats one hell of a wannabee biker starter kit. Especially the pink kids bike.

[@drmikemerkt]

Hell yeah brother! Luckily I don’t want to be a biker so that’s good. Just someone who enjoys vintage Harley’s. Otherwise I’d have a black road glide like all the other “bikers”

[@EIRE1980]

@@drmikemerkt Nah those aren't bikers, those are weekend warriors. Real true bikers build there own.

[@drmikemerkt]

So I guess since I built everything on this bike I’m a real biker. Good to know

[@EIRE1980]

@@drmikemerkt No that would make you an enthusiast. You tried to make a smartass comment about all bikers riding the same bike. Im talking about real fucking bikers wee lad. Ones that live it everyday. The ones you dont fuck with. They dont have my little pink ponys parked in there garage.

[@jimbo4203]

Nice bike , for a while there , I didn't think you were going to get it started 😊
