Knowledge is the most powerful thing. Even if it’s just about a motorcycle. You started with nothing, but with knowledge, you ended with something. Knowledge won’t rust. Knowledge won’t age. Knowledge will not betray you if correct. Knowledge gives you the answers you need.

"A lot of guys with beards that look like Tim". At the last bike show I took my son to we decided to split up for a while and he basically noticed the same thing and wandered how he would ever find me. He made the observation that I look like I could be related somehow to almost everybody there(not to mention we all were dressed in basically the same kind of clothes). I ask, what are we, a bunch of sheep? Apparently, well, yeah, maybe.

I remember my collection of pieces and parts.. most of it was trade or barter. I had the 74 shovel. I just never could get a decent bushing in the starter mount so it would crank easy. I did up the compression a little but no reason it should of not started and dang it, no provision for kick start. Never put me down all the way like some radical bikes I had as a kid. My first was a 37 Indian.. it was a hoot, I got it back in 58 and prices were still easy on the wallet.

Man your channel and content are awesome. As a dad of faith myself, the quick scripture verses you throw in is one of the simplest, slickest ministries I’ve seen. Keep that stuff up, that’s seriously awesome. Quick question- long story short I inherited a modified ~1958 panhead from my estranged father when he passed. I’m working on breaking it down and cleaning it all now, it’s pretty rough but fascinating, but I noticed in a number of videos a roll up toolkit you guys break out when on the road. Any chance you could briefly cover what all you have stashed in that thing? Wanting to put one together myself with all the spare tools I have laying around, just have yet to encounter everything that might need to be worked on. And vintage ones cost upwards of $900, which I have zero interest in. Thank you all! God bless!
