I rode with Satch and "The Gang" (her club from Mountain Side Inn) back in the day when I had my blue and gold XS650, Tim Albright owned that harley then. I remember taking a group ride to York, Pa with these guys. Awesome memory brought back by this video.

Be interesting to see what the bike is worth today. Auctions often generate amazing prices for old stuff.

[@MAGAMANPATRIOT]

In highschool I had a 1962 duo-glide panhead. I never put all the purty shiny pieces back on her. Then she was just a ten year old half wore out rusty scooter that rode and ran great. I paid $250 dollars for it basket case don't describe how she was. With all the bells and whistles on her these days I have no idea what it'd be worth..

[@thinman8621]

[@jamesbutterson5218]

I liked her answer as she kept diverting their sway ,"well it's not smoking so" good & quick answer, I was pulling for her to keep it, glad she wasn't money hungry.

[@xdef1ne]

Greatest Harley of all time

[@ProductBasement]

"I don't ride it much... it'll probably start.." I guess she wasn't lying

[@northerniltree]

That bike's worth $15 K without the motor. If it's original sheetmetal, frame, trans, springer, speedo, carb, etc., along with all the great period parts and accessories it has, ya can't lose. Satch should own that bike 'till she drops. She knows more about the soul of that bike than anyone else ever will. And, it's value. I ride a '47 Knuck, and have had it since I was young. I tip my hat to Satch.

[@john-paulsilke893]

Bikes shouldn’t be showroom pretty and they should have broken parts. This one has a story and it simply isn’t worth the money to buy because of that story.

Sorry, Mike. Harley mounted a rocker foot clutch that would stay disengaged when it was rocked forward, rocked backward would engage. suicide clutches had the rocker removed and your foot had to stay on the clutch pedal to keep it disengaged.
