I am 82 years old and have 99 Softail Custom, mostly stock except for all the chrome stuff the previous owner put on it. At my age I love the pillow seat and buckhorn bars. I started riding when I was 8, Whizzer motor bikes. Bought my first Harley, a 1942 "45" flat head when I was 14, in 1955. Just my opinion, everyone has one, the evo is the best of the best. It is the Shovel with improvements. The new ones are to sophisticated. I love the unbalanced solid mounted motor. Not for everyone, but it works for me. I rode an 84 Iron Head Sportster for 23 years.

[@getoffmygrass6974]

It’s nice Todd, brings me back to your garage days, not my style but nice. I put one of those relay bypass solenoid buttons on my Night Train but I never use it. It’s such a pain in the ass to reach under my oil bag and I had the shave down the button in order to fit but it works.

[@choppadee113]

Nice flip-flops, bro. !!! The bike is cool.

[@garythorsell5061]

Hi Todd great video 😊

[@markwinchester3005]

These type bikes always makes me think of what it must've been like in L.A. back in the 80's cruising Sunset w/ Motley, Halen, RATT, etc., etc., playing the clubs like Gazarri's. Sure wish I could've been there....

[@HuntingHarleys]

Having caused the whole Sunset Strip thing... most bikes were Shovel FLHs or Heritage Softtails, nearly always painted Turquoise and Creme, dual fishtails, spokes and white wall tires. This style was popular mid 50s through early 60s, then again 1980 through 85. 1986 , with the introduction of the Heritage Softtail and my selling FLHs to the Hollywood rocker crowd, the above style was "on". 1991 changed everything with Magic Johnson's AIDs diagnosis. And then to hammer the era shut 1992 saw the introduction of California's helmet law. We went from the most expensive motorcycle state to the cheapest in 2 weeks. En mass, most people stopped or severely curtailed riding.

[@markwinchester3005]

@@HuntingHarleys I do clearly remember Robbin Crosby's HIV news and by then the living wild of the carefree 80's was pretty much over. I always wondered where Motley got they're HDs they rode & used in GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS? Again I have to muse about how cool it musta been to cruise Sunset Blvd on Fri/Sat night hitting The Trubadour, The Whiskey, the Rainbow, Gazarri's, etc.. I bet it was cool to see Motley cruising which they actually did some I hear?

[@HuntingHarleys]

Once I started selling bikes to Hollywood, within 6-9 months 2 miles of the strip were HD's, shops started opening nearly weekly. I'd created such a craze I nearly put myself out of business. I assume the Crew got their from Bartel's. However Nikki had a home South of Ventura Blvd in the Woodland Hills area, so it might of been Barger HD in Canoga Park where I got my 1st HD , Van Nuys or Glendale HD. A chick I was with for 3 years used to go hang out at their house and do Heroin. I never met the Crew. I did sell all of Hurricane their bikes. Many of my bikes sold indirectly aa I kept prices cheap enough other dealers could sell.

Ambient heat of the surrounding air has everything to do with how long you need to wait. IE are the cylinders warm, or not. Also, how long ago was it running? A machine that ran an hour ago warms up fast

@@HuntingHarleys why you dont rent a flat...much cheaper probably 7500 usd`? buy a van and live in it...I would never pay so much money

[@HuntingHarleys]

How can someone possibly live in their van and buy and sell motorcycles? I have 4 vans, backups, they brake, 2 trailers, one still has a 12k repair bill so it's in hock. Parking, ah yes, a space to rent , meaning shop requires around 15k a month today, plus a remodel. Last one cost me 6 months of double rent, no income, 300k plus to remodel at a lease of $4500 a month, only to have the landlord lie to me about it being an ex chrome shop. So we huffed hexavalent chrome 6 during our stay, a neuro toxin that has now destroyed our health . Yep, lawsuit over that. I can't afford to rent a shop, or house, that's also 15k a month, that has this parking. Go to a cheaper area... makes it impossible to make a living for me. I have to be close to LAX and the port of LA. get a job he says. Funny. I'm still in the diagnosis stage, but if it's what I suspect, I'll be clinically disabled. Who is going to hire an old man who sleeps 15 to 20 hours a day? No one.
