Awesome Video, Jr. Two humble, super talented, Motor Cycle Genius Badasses The Professor and Jimmy, to tell the fans and viewers, all about that gorgeous piece of motorcycle riding history. That is one sick motorcycle, that my beautiful deceased Father would love. Billy was like a young kid on early Christmas Morning riding it. I can't blame him. Jimmy is a true moyorcycle legend of a mechanic. I'm very happy that Jimmy has come so far with his former health issues. Huge accomplishment on his part, like your Dad said a while back. Much love and respect.

I rode a Heritage Springer that looked just like that thing at Evil Knievel Memorial Day Parade in Butte Montana. No kidding those people gave me that town. Wearing a black leather vest and Harley hat from 1940 It was so much fun you just had to be there. Boom can fishtails with the baffles out it echoed around town with regal aplomb.😊

Bill has it! You have to build up those muscle to synapse connections before actions become intuitive. The tech chat with the mechanic shows that he'd already picked up on some issues and translated them effectively. Also kudos to the camera person for allowing their conversation to flow and be observed without interference.

Those are my favorite bikes , I can fire it up with one kick on the kickstarter ! About , 10 years ago we had 7 of the Knuckleheads and we needed to crate them up and ship them out . We had a big warehouse . I told my buddy ; he could never get them to run . Here I’ll start them and you can help me ride them to the packing area . His eyes were big a saucers when we were hearing the Sweet sound of those Knuckleheads and the vibrations going across the warehouse . Sure wish I could have had one for myself . Sure hated to see them go . Those mechanical brakes were like nonexistent ! But it was fun riding them .

What a treat to see that go - Wow! Harley should stop making bikes that look like they should be on Star Trek, and remake these. Those front ends are stunning, what a beauty, what art work. Make Harleys great again (and more affordable, and reliable).

God loves you guys, don't forget the ones who don't have the opportunity to even own a motorcycle. I've often thought you guys should find old beaters like Yamaha Virago or honda rebels get them running & give them away to a poor college kids trying to get through college.
