I just love how whoever was doing anything within fifty yards of that shop stopped what they were doing stood there and watched the first kick over and then the smile on everybody's face priceless

[@bobberguy1]

Gotta love these old machines. Blood, sweat, tears and then.....smiles. I wish this fella a safe, enjoyable Cannonball.

[@madgardener5820]

Fifty yards? I was on the other side of the Atlantic and I stopped what I was doing!! 👍

[@acr21957]

He makes it look so easy but the amount of knowledge and experience it must take is mind blowing to me😵

[@tombazemore1098]

I just noticed the lack of sunglasses. Hope he’s feeling okay. That is one cool bike. My Dad rode a WLA as a courier on a temporary assignment during the Normandy invasion.

[@BryanClementi]

My friends and I were in the background and were absolutely amazed and lucky to be part of this experience. Matt and the museum are one of a kind. Can't wait to come back and visit. Thanks to Matt and everyone at the museum for having us.

[@justingreen4450]

Lucky

[@marcmuke6378]

Matt has truly mastered his craft. I don't think there is another family on earth as dialed on these pieces of history

[@mtnvalley9298]

Thanks Matt and Co. I appreciate your efforts.

[@kennethwise7108]

You know it's serious stuff when Matt takes his shades off 😎 to work on the bike.

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

haha, your right !! he wasnt messing around, what a bike

[@kennethwise7108]

@@TroubadourJuggernaut yeah. I wish my 80 shovelhead started that easily

[@BobMcDougall]

At 20:20 Matt's voice cracks when his Dad is mentioned. We all miss our Dads when they are no longer with us. ❤️ Awesome video.

[@jfoz7602]

Everyone’s face in the back when she fired up. Brilliant 👏

[@paulaabrams7058]

Brought tears of nostalgia a couple times. Thanks for the memories ❤❤👍

[@TS50ER]

Huge smile when that baby sparked up.

[@fearsomename4517]

Matt is a great guy. I'm so glad this guy is going to ride this bike all those miles. Never cared for trailer queens.

[@Vincent-ud4jq]

That was the best 22 minutes of my day! Thanks to Matt and your team for doing what you do! Planning a trip down, hope to see ya this summer!

[@MotorcycleCannonball]

Killer video!! Killer Machine!! We are looking forward to having this bike and Gary on the next event!!!

[@wheelsthroughtime]

They will be ready!

[@johnhughes8563]

When l visit the USA, you guys are a must see . Great passion for American Motorcycles . I have a 2003 1200 Sportster...it keeps me young . Driving around Warwickshire England l feel like loner, just love the US keeping the dream alive .

[@toddanderson1568]

Love, love, love it. Wish I was the one taking that bike for its 3000 ride.

[@fitzymagee7469]

On today's episode, we see how many times Mat's sunglasses fall off his head onto his nose

[@Gordies-World]

I wonder if he wears his glasses when having dinner with the family.

[@stationaryenginesworldwide]

i went up to wheels thru time years back such an amazing place. I also got a picture of me and your dad and i will cherish that photo forever. Dale is a legend

[@MrEvilmitch]

Only just stumbled across this channel . Love it . If I'm ever able to get to the USA I'll definitely visit this museum

[@dopeytripod]

amazing bikes - amazing content

[@juliancrooks3031]

So cool to see a bike almost a hundred years old up and running

[@sixwingsram]

You're a great historian. So much pertinent data regarding the bike's past history. You're a walking encyclopedia of motorcycle knowledge⭐

[@fxrdchino]

These are my favorite videos! Showing a little bit of the process behind getting these bikes going! Thank you Matt and WTT for the great videos and the wealth of knowledge!

[@francoismontresmecaniques7082]

Superb bike, thank you for sharing. I'm from the old continent with fascination for brit, french and italian motorcycle of the pre war era but it's a pleasure to see your passion for americans marvels of the era.

[@greysuit17]

Good luck on your ride man!

[@briangilmore2256]

Have a picture of my great grandpa in 1929 on his 1928 Harley. Same bike I’ve been looking at a picture of my whole life too cool seeing one run. Need to own one someday

[@onemanswrld]

Beautiful old classic.....

[@edgallagher4701]

[@Sarah-cf4zd]

I live in Alberta Canada on my Bucket list is go to the wheels through time museum… I just love your videos I have been riding 52 years now . I rode a 1959 Pan for over 25 years of it .. just watching kick them over brings so much memory back😀

[@noelg3384]

AWESOME STUNNING BIKE

[@Curtis7391-t8q]

I love how you have these bikes in a “museum” but you don’t keep them behind glass that no one can touch…you take them out drive them and use them how they where intended to be used

[@twcmaker]

Brilliant. Thank you

[@timparker9235]

another riveting experience - I really love your calm excitement Matt, it's infectious 😊

[@steveallen5087]

WOW!! Gotta love it!! Go Chuck.

[@kennethwise7108]

Geez, my shovelhead never even started that easily!

[@justingreen4450]

Thank you for this.

[@2000tc88]

Watching that was excellent.

[@mr1pearl]

[@streetglidescott6424]

See ya there tomorrow! Hope you’re open!

[@thumpershd]

Outstanding!

[@TheOldaz1]

Sounds like it will be a great ride. Bike looks like it should do OK. Thanks guys.

[@cody3482]

It would be revolutionary if HD, went back in their own timeline and started manufacturing and selling new old mc's from the first bike.

[@bikejunk1]

LOL if you ever ride these vintage bikes the brakes and top speed will get most people in trouble on the roads today

[@davidstrother496]

Good luck in the Cannonball. Thanks for the video.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

First kick?! Are you shitting me?! Wow! That's so amazing! Your expertise with these old dogs (no disrespect!) is just incredible. No matter the model, year, make, whatever, you know how to tweak 'em and bring them back to life. Great, great episode, y'all! I wanna see the Cannonball footage now! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@Wootangtw]

Awesome… thanks buddy…

[@mikeh.4087]

Another great video! Thanks so much

As a galesburg resident, familer with the family, 1 kick after gas is no surprise.

[@tradermonk9403]

Awsom ride! Are Y'all open this monday?

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

Hope he pulls a perfect score, the bike sure seems up to task.

[@oldcult]

Very Nice !! Matt!! ( I'm From Brasil

[@aaronharrison7729]

Awesome bike

[@robertrohrs9195]

Fantastic

[@pb68slab18]

As long as ya use correct but modern rubber tires from Coker, and modern material chains and valve springs (notorious for breaking), you should have no problems.

[@scottkinkead6324]

Does anyone know the route they are taking ? Would love to go see these go across the Country When they pass through !

[@saltyreesescup3104]

Very cool...

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Wow, can I borrow one🙏🏻

[@browngreen933]

Anyone know why pre-1932 was the cutoff? Is that year significant in some way in motorcycle evolutionary history?

[@maeve4686]

Circuit breaker, never heard it called timer, guess I learnt something new...no spark plug wire, so no distributor. According to my original HD books...

[@timdavis8154]

So cool

[@philbert4740]

The bike I aways wanted to own

[@jamesadkins9988]

Awesome

[@mickewingemyr9813]

Champion plugg 😮😮😮

[@perfecthockey2366]

There is a reason it is called a heel shift, heel to shift, toe to go...(I learned that here!)

[@doctoribanez]

What a cool bike. Long ass trip though lol

[@joe_preston]

What does the repetitive starting while hot at the end help with?

[@mattwalksler]

Hey Joe, doesn’t help with anything. Just demonstrates it starts easy. Thanks for watching.

[@joe_preston]

@@mattwalksler Thanks Matt, I couldn't tell what was said and thought I might be missing a helpful tip.

[@HockyOne]

That black thing on top right of the fuel tank - what is it?

[@harleyhawk7959]

what is the distinct thup you can hear? is it misfire

[@pauljohnstone8989]

Love the vids

[@jeanlawson9133]

My kind Machine,,,😎

[@MisterOcclusion]

30+ year old tyres and tubes aren't a concern on a long distance run? I don't think I'd bet my life on them

[@blucheer8743]

What is the value of that engine in that condition?

[@Klassiccycles]

I'm after a 28/29 JD in about this same condition of anyone knows of anything available. I'm located in Central California.

[@bigredc222]

I'm confused about what is happening, did the guy buy the bike, or is he borrowing it?

[@dogpaw775]

watch out breathing in all those exhaust fumes; y'all get sophisticated 8/

[@gregkistner1955]

Amazing how old fuel can screw up everything!!

[@normls8615]

Looks like the bike will make it. Not sure about the rider. I'm a lot younger and have been riding almost just as long.

[@GarrisonsMadHouse]

If I had an antique bike I would probably end up blowing it up by going too fast

[@samuelanselmo4159]

Instead of sandpaper I use a woman’s emery board. Works great. You get a even file

[@howardrossell2771]

Maybe 40 feet.
