You really should try out riding. I've been doing it damn near over 20 some years, and it is the most fun you can have with your pants on. It's very therapeutic, too.

I love the look of these old Harleys. Their profile is so aesthetically pleasing. Well worth the wait. Great work everyone.

[@oldcars46]

So glad to see you and Craig keep it in touch just like you said you would. Miss I really miss the shows that you guys did together just got so used to seeing you guys as friends doing stuff that sometimes was crazy but good.

[@Zigbop98]

You can really see the emotion in Matt’s face when he started that BW up. What a cool moment to see

[@davedeja]

One of the most beautiful machines ever, great job to everyone involved in the restoration.

[@BikesandBeards]

Thank you very much!

[@theskullinside666]

This is literally what the world needs more of. Just a bunch of guys riding old bikes and bro-ing out over vintages!!! War will be gone before you know it!

The passion from all the guys at Wheels through time is just amazing.

[@BikesandBeards]

It really is

[@walkermediaworx]

Good to see you guys back together 👍

[@brianappleby5481]

I love seeing restoration projects get good use instead of sitting on a shelf for the rest of their life. Awesome stuff!

[@lewismocaby3646]

Bikes and Beards, I’m glad you and Matt got together on this project. He reminds me of his Dad in so many ways it’s unbelievable. Both of them are as honest as the day is long, both of them genuine and genuinely good people to anyone they meet. Somehow they both seem like they’ve never met a strange, up at the old shop here in Southern Illinois Dale always gave folks a fair shake and would go out of his way to help you out if he saw that you were in a bind. Spent quite a few afternoons looking for oddball parts or just original parts that weren’t reproduced yet by quality companies. Their shop crew and sales department were phenomenal as well. Glad to see the Maggie Valley location worked out so well for the Walkslers. Matt is definitely keeping history relatable with his channel. It’s good to see that you guys caught on to the historical importance of some of these old bikes for your channel as well as your business. I understand that you must make a profit to stay above water but every once in a while getting neck deep in a project like this might broaden your understanding of where a lot of our hobby began. Sometimes the old bikes even as simple as they seem compared to the technology we’re used to will make us bang our heads against the wall to troubleshoot. The stroker shovelhead im working on now has been creating more grey hair in just the last week but they all do eventually. Anyway, hold your heads a little higher moving forward, you and your team have really accomplished something to be proud of to preserve another piece of history and to help educate your subscribers as well as just bringing us along for the ride. 👍

[@johnraygun9868]

You comforted him with a childhood memory, doing Gods work, that’s what it’s all about ❤, much love guys

Looks so much better now it's restored. Well done to all of you who put in the work.

I’ve been waiting for this reveal! The bike looks great - nice work everyone who worked on this piece of history.

[@danhoward2804]

[@eomund1]

I have done so many first starts on old cars and bikes after many years. It never ever gets old. That child like excitement is always there. I will never get tired of it. And I can tell these guys are the same. I love it.

[@BikesandBeards]

its the sound that lets you know that the fun is about to start

[@jonnothetrucker]

Love the way Matt goes straight from getting it to fire, to sorting out the issues, rather than simply being amazed it started... guess it comes with doing so many builds

[@JAC13]

To you, Craig, Matt and even the cameramen GREAT JOB!!!! Seeing Matts face when you gave him that BW was priceless.

[@robcreel4257]

Great Friday morning video! Good to see the team back in action! Made my day. Have a good day everyone!

[@frankcourtney6413]

Great to see the old girl back to her former glory and sounding sweet. No better feeling than bringing an old/neglected/forgotten thing back to use. Now it's time to get into the workshop myself and install the fork springs and valves I bought yesterday into my old Yammy XJ. Thanks for the content guys, very enjoyable.

[@jeffmoleskivintageiceracin5935]

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I watched Craig's video this morning before my run, got done with 7.5 miles and now finished this one. Great job, this bike turned out amazing. You also made me want to buy a BW200 even though I never had one before.

Loved hearing it run. As a 82 year old man who rode one as a teenager. That was a army surplus that cost 125 dollar ended up trading it in on a brand new 1958 BSA Supper Rocket because the vibration so much less

[@scottdoran6347]

I’m a Canadian and back in the day I was I’m Maggie Valley visiting a friend, that friend introduced me to Dale. As a high end builder of homes Dale was interested in my thoughts about his upcoming construction project. I actually forget what his plans were but my memory was eclipsed by what was in the building we were walking past to get to the site. The Museum! Dale gave me his time and boy o boy did he give me his time, hours upon hours. My wife went back to the motel and every moment with Dale was an honor, I was riding a Buell at the time and Dale gave me some history lessons, in fact it was a historical overload, as you all know Dale was a legend and for me that long day was etched into my memory for eternity. I’m currently sailing around the world and watching this video on the open ocean, Starlink allows me to have internet worldwide. ❤️

It’s always heartwarming to see a friend hook up another friend with a childhood memory! How cool

[@kdaessors]

so glad i stumbled onto these channels. love your work guys❣ i love how a master tuner/rebuilder can listen to these old treasures and tell almost instantaneously if it'll even run. also miss days when if you should happen to break down there was a good chance your tool kit would save the day.

It sounds like a real mean machine. Great job of restoring it. Don't be afraid of sealing the tank from inside with an epoxy lining.

I kind of feel sorry for you, Sean. Because you can't fake it but you'll learn. It takes time and experience. Good luck in the future.

[@alvarsdzenis4739]

My old neighbor bought a non running 1936 RLDR 45 in the late '50's and brought it home, hanging out of the trunk of his car with plans to fix it up. He said it had been used as a flat track racer. This story is from before I was born. He put it in the back of an old pickup and put it in his dad's barn. I saw it several times as a kid playing. Fast forward to the early 2000's. The old boy had passed away and had never fixed it up. His son accepted an offer from a HD dealer, who traded him a brand new Sportster for the old bike. I never did hear of what happened to the bike, but I sure wish he'd sold it to me but he wouldn't sell it.

[@salvatorepatterson5611]

I had a 45 trike and rode the solo a little, I bought a solo years ago. That solo was missing on one cylinder, come to find out the rear cylinder had a hole in the piston and it would still run somewhat. That was the most nostalgia I ever felt in my life even with all the Harley I have owned and loved!

[@MrPrincepop]

The risk of racing these beautiful vintage bikes is like hoping Pete Townsend doesn't smash an emaculate '59 Les Paul burst into an amp.😂

[@mr.funkalicioussplendiferous]

I was born in 1974. I have had quite a few vehicles through the years that took regular gas. For a while after they stopped having regular (back then, regular was the leaded stuff and unleaded was unleaded) gas, we had to buy lead additive. My old Jeep took regular. I also had a Toyota pick-up that took regular, and my first bike, an old Honda Trail 70, also took regular gas.

[@danielsheehan728]

I live in waynesville, nc, Wheels through time is a gift to all of us here in our town. We go there all the time. It's a passion and a life.

Thanks for posting the climax video of this project. Very nice work.

[@jimkraft9445]

What a great video. When I was 14, back in 1955, I bought a 1942 civilian flat head "45". I had a lot of fun on that one as it was my first Harley. I started riding on Whizzer motor bikes when I was 8. I am 82 now, and ride a 99 Softail Custom. But I will always remember the fun I had on that old "45". The front brake cable was broken, and the spark advance cable was broken. So I had to remember to retard the spark by hand before I started it. Stopping on a hill was also exciting. I had to shift to low, hold the brake on with my right foot and balance the bike with my left. When the light changed, I had to raise my left foot to operate the clutch while taking my foot off the brake to put my right foot down. I did manage to do it all without killing the engine. But I was 14. When you are 14 you think you can do anything. LOL. Anyway, loved your video. It brought back lots of good memories. Wish I had kept mine.

[@Hakulanni]

You gotta love Harley to take on a project like this. This is freaking crazy... But then again, we' talking about Bikes & Beards.
