So I found this channel when Ken was touring it and posted the segments on his channel. In the last four days I’ve probably watched about 30+ videos and have become a huge fan of the job you’ve doing on presentation and AWESOME preservation of our wonderful sport of motorcycles! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!!!

[@KEIFabrication]

WooHoo! Race winning Rhode Island heritage is alive and well! Thanks for preserving these machines!

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Beautiful machines. Every time I ride onto that beach off of A1A, I can almost hear whispers of the past. I live like an hour away so I visit often. There used to be a land speed racer named Babs, that was burried on that beach for like 4 decades after a horrible deadly crash back in the early 1900's. Now a days all the metal detector hobbyists dug up every bolt and sparkplug that was ever dropped in that sand there. LOL.

[@dalemerritt6788]

[@rexjolles]

my dad just got a 1954 BSA a7 shooting star, but whats cool about it is that it has cool yellow fading letters on the front fender that says "PETE" from the original owner, who's name was pete.

[@Chuck88vert]

You sell more parts.

Back in94 i lived in mid state n.c.i went to an old farm to buy a pre unit triumph.the old barn had over 25 brit bikes in it.while looking around i spotted an old indian parked under the stairs.all original.i was told it had won the 1937 or 39 Daytona race and had been acquired by the guy i was talking to.it was baught from the guy that raced it before he died.he also showed me a medalion that said winner Daytona 1930 something. It came with the bike when purchased.

[@trickeydick5024]

[@nickthompson9697]

Factory racers are not for consumers.

[@Empowering__ummah30]

[@Tommy_Mac]

Cool video! Any chance you could do an outdoor display so I can get out of my home and ride 12 hours...somewhere...? Please? No job, lots of time, nowhere to go, and going nutty.

[@Wooley689]

So this is where the Horseshoe and remote oil tanks came from? Another race inspired idea for the streets? Interesting.

[@nickthompson9697]

Remote oil tank is intrinsic to dry sump oiling. Aviation and race tech alike.

[@mtroy0620]

Monster sounds

[@suilqknadrotu934]

Take a shot every time he says "actually"

[@nickthompson9697]

Dies within minutes.

[@cheezehdglen9468]

Bring back the Springer front end.

[@markwinchester3005]

Oil stain under the TT is about as classic HD as it gets.

[@ronbrown2770]

Dam, a job I'd do for free. Kinda pisses me off though, I've had a 48 pan, a 69 shovel, a 79 shovel, and a few more kick only bikes and not one of them would start as easy as these old flatheads. You guys need someone to sweep the floors?

[@westcoast3595]

Nice flat heads

[@rexjolles]

you should race this in the RAce Of Gengltemen look it up they drag race old rat rods an d bieks on the beach in wildwood for a wholw weekend
