Cool bikes everywhere.....dogs hanging out...... nice dead end street.....man I would honestly love to be your neighbor

[@sethm8432]

Beautiful, I love these chunky and hardy vintage motorcycles, especially the thick tires. Would love to pick up a similar Harley or an old BSA.

[@angelaprater2679]

Never gets old 65 yrs old and I just love it classic all by itself.

Birthday today, 62 years young... This is the closest I can get to one of those old beauties. Thanks for sharing

[@getoffmygrass6974]

happy birthday!

[@willowsmutt8313]

Thank you.... Always wanted a birth year bike, got as close as a 60 sporty chop. Now wallet makes it a look only option. Lol

@@willowsmutt8313 I am 75, born in '45, and still riding two wheels. Wish I could find a running '45 HD. But then if I did, I could not afford it. LOL

[@MGat-sz6ny]

'47 Knuckle is the classic among classics. Good luck with her.

I'm surprised that Hollywood has not made another blockbuster movie involving classic Harleys. Thanks for posting this video and sticking with it until it started. It sounds really awesome.

[@KazuhiraMiller46]

Been watching your videos for years now. Glad you got back to reuploading, stay safe out there man.

[@huyivant5190]

That’s a nice bike, would love to see Harley recapture this concept

[@boneseyyl1060]

Harley's are already big, heavy and slow.

My best friend’s brother was president of the Grim Reapers. This could be his bike, it’s that similar. When i was 17, still in high school, i ask him if i could ride it around the neighborhood. He said i could, IF i could get it started. He told me how. What to do and what not to do. The first Harley i ever rode. Been in love ever since. I have a 16’ Road King, love it just as much. Except, IT IS MINE. Thanks for the vid. Good times. Then & now.

[@GrayByrd]

gorgeous. I started my search for one this week. I have always loved this style. Been wanting one since a small child

[@radakinryder2741]

My grandpa has a bike that looks almost identical besides the bars. Beautiful machine.

[@raywite6665]

Most beautiful engine Harley ever produced.

[@joedoomsdaypio4374]

Definetly...and the KHKs- those were just fuckin FAST looking.

[@Treurigvarken]

What a wonderful bike! And the beautyful dogs! They seem to like it aswell.

[@HuntingHarleys]

They do!

[@bonesc7201]

Oh my God... How sweet is that!?! Classic, I love it...!!!!!👍😎

[@daveco1270]

I dig the big beefy tires on that thing. Seems like the newer Soft Tail Slims are going for a similar vibe. Your neighbors must love you. Loud motorcycles and pitbulls running around the street unleashed. : )

[@michaelmitchell5909]

That, was absolutely amazing Todd...wow

[@angelaprater2679]

Love the bike and your dog being cool just chi in middle of the street as you talk. Always wanted that bike you got.

[@Briggs1700]

Love the pooch! and the video. Just found out my grandfather rode one during his military service.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

She idles nicely . A good sign. Thanks for sharing and congrats.

[@Patriot-up2td]

The dogs are having a good time!

[@joeromanak8797]

I love this one just the way it is. If I found one like it, I would dust it off and make it safe and ride it without any modification. I’m pretty old so loud and obnoxious has lost its appeal. You’re a lucky man. 😎👍

[@getoffmygrass6974]

That's a pretty rad scooter you got there Todd.

[@markhinde6187]

Those dogs are diamond.......

[@hardtailsuicidaljockey6827]

[@lowcountryrob170]

Best YT random recommendation ever. I love the vids and I love the bikes. I had a neighbor growing up who would build knuckleheads in the old wishbones and pan heads, etc. I learned a lot and gained a great appreciation of those old bikes. Thanks for doing what you do. I also enjoyed the old bobber video.

[@awpgaming7505]

Check out wheels through time on KZbin . Dude has a museum in NC has over 350 old motorcycles. You name it he has the old stuff, and they all run. Even the oldest 19teens year.

Marking it's spot,no big deal🥴! Greetings from Tampa Florida 😎

[@robertdaley1194]

Reminds me of my Uncle in the early 60's trying to kick start his old Brit bike with his slippers on, he broke his foot.

[@HuntingHarleys]

Is not the slippers, it's the kick starting technique

[@oldrover3007]

Excellent , you just made my night ! ( I’m old, it doesn’t take much these days !) I need another antique Harley before summer it won’t be a Knuck. , I will have to settle for a Flathd this time if I can find an affordable one , Damn I miss my Pan. Thanks for sharing !

[@charger19691]

Love these bikes so much!

[@georgecatalin138]

Return to innocence ! These are the best models to follow , if Harley wants to keep forward !

[@garywhite3264]

Wow! No smoke!

[@lewismocaby3646]

Damn good lookin bike. Been collecting parts for my 47 ever since my buddy sold me a set of large port heads in 2006. I’m getting close to having it done,just gotta get off my ass and finish welding my replacement sidecar loops then paint. Got a 3 speed and reverse gear set and drum and a 4 speed gear set with the shift drum and still not sure which way I wanna go. Have to hop on this channel every once in a while for my knucklehead fix to get me by,lol. Awesome job with the channel btw and I hope that you’re able to get your garage and inventory situation hemmed up soon. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@brianpriestorg548]

I would love to restore a bike like that one. Those old knuckles were awesome

Dude looks like the epitome of a harley rider.

[@arthurstitch9041]

He's prolly the only person on the planet that has the encyclopedias of Harley's stored in his mind. I never heard any other bike person that knows anywhere close to what this guy knows about Harley's.and if anybody knows of anyone I'd like to see their bio.

[@nicholasyoder]

Awesome bike! Looks like mine only wish mine was running.

[@rondobondo6600]

Wow amazing bike thanks for sharing😊

[@adaptableadventurerider]

Love it thanks for sharing sounds so sweet :) I love my Norton's but I deffo wanna experience a Knuckle in the future.

[@adaptableadventurerider]

@Shane J they sure are fun bikes to ride an very reliable. Can't wait to get my 68' Commando back together they are such a smooth bike to ride. The 650ss I use as a daily is alot more raw in a fun way but the chassis being a slimline Featherbed is sublime even compared to modern stuff I've had. Restoring a ww2 Norton at the mo. Keep looking at Harley J's at the moment :)

[@adaptableadventurerider]

@Shane J Thanks Shane :)

I like it with both long fender

[@bobbymoore9224]

I always liked seeing the old late 1940's crime movies with the police Harley motorcycles and officers in their uniforms, gloves and caps either kick starting or riding them in hot pursuit of the crooks. I had toy motorcycles in the mid 1950's that look just like Todd's

If you had a sidecar those 2 Pitties would be grinnin from ear to ear cruising with ya too.

[@Rainman270]

Harley has a patent on the “ potata potata “ sound.

[@jameslanning8405]

Out of all the Harley designs, I think the Knuckle is the most aesthetically pleasing... It's a rolling work of mechanical art! And all the scratches, dust and wear on that old Knuckle, just adds to its character!. I see you have 2 Knuckles there... Feel like you want to give one away? LOL The only real problem you'll have with an old machine like that... HD doesn't want to support them any more... The old bikes and old bikers, are being systematically weeded out of the HD line up. Catering to Millennials is they way the corporate HD is moving...

[@ricpowers1475]

Theres a 1940 something harley in my neighborhood that was parked between two small trees at the beginning of ww2. Those trees grew into much larger trees and have nearly swallowed the bike whole. Love to have the time lapse. Wouldnt THAT be the ultimate restoration!

[@ricpowers1475]

@Shane J I wonder if the skill exists to free that bike and breath new life into it. Probably too far gone. crazy how the tree has swallowed it, as if it was poured over the bike

[@ricpowers1475]

@Shane J Definitly tree must go. But i think what the tree has swallowed would be pristine being shielded from the elements for so long. Anybody with deep pockets up for a challenge out there? The 90 year old vet would be tickled pink.

[@ricpowers1475]

@Shane J Good idea...that would be a jaw dropper..

[@steveperry1344]

i'm after one like that in my town but the guy won't budge, it's been just sittin in his garage for years.
