Nothing is better than a wheels through time video!

[@douglashine9638]

Absolutely 😉

[@RickyBloom]

Matt does have the best job in the world ?

[@deankeeler9395]

Sooo.. exciting!

[@garyehrhardt3136]

I second that

[@marialowder3181]

Thank you !!!! What an amazing testament to my father… This bike was his baby… I know he’s smiling! And I hope your kids love riding in that side car .. my dad used to pick me up from school in it, one of my best memories..

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thank you so much for watching!! You can tell how much he loved that machine. We are honored to have it here at WTT and proud to help keep his memory alive!

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Its great to see your sweet young daughter loving those old bikes. Im sure she may well be so knowledgeable and good with wrenching with you just as you took in your expertees with Dale as a wee laddie.

[@printer5518]

That’s amazing, only someone like Matt could get that running. You couldn’t even bring that to a Harley dealer and get that running.

[@DownsouthMan]

I like seeing your daughter trying to be interested. Good for her! Way to go dad! Keep teaching as long as she’s interested. Lots of love there.

[@waynemorgan3095]

Great video, i just got my dad's 57 FLH panhead on the road this year, sat for over 40 years, i finally got it home and have worked on it 5 years by myself. A lot of work but i think it would make him proud .I've loved every bolt I've turned.

[@aishayana4298]

Matt, Loved see you work with your daughter. She definitely enjoyed working with her dad. You’re a lucky man in many ways !

[@charliefromnh7631]

AWESOME watching you bring the History to your daughter!!! She did an AWESOME Job! THATS what its ALL abut!!

[@stanleybaker8707]

Your a great dad and your daughter is adorable 😊😊😊😊.

[@user-so1mv9po2f]

35:35 she really lights up!

[@Ian-bq7gp]

I luv her enthusiasm and interest especially being so young and being a girl. At least she seems more interested in 110 year old bikes than barbie😂

[@johnjackson8561]

So awesome to see you passing down the Walksler traditions to your kids like your father did Matt. 👍♥️😎🍻🇨🇦

[@scottsandquist5381]

You're one of the luckiest people ever. Fortunately have the building, the bikes etc but to have your family to help and share in your fortune is priceless. Your little girl looks like shes actually interested in your business. That's rare and beautiful

[@cpmunson2807]

My daughter worked with me at 8,9,10, years old in my gunsmith shop she is amazing. Reminded me of her your doing a great thing teaching her. Only draw back is when she went on her first date guys pickup broke down she fixed a battery cable and off they went he was so embarrassed he never came back for another date. Live your videos.

[@richardschaffling9882]

Fantastic bikes and nice seeing your daughter working with her dad and is that the next generation of antique motorcycle restorers

[@bradleyyounger8499]

I hope years down the road we see these kids with the same excitement as Matt and Dale doing videos to get my grandchildren as excited as I am watching these videos

[@garyseaton4619]

Love watching you work with your daughter. I'm totally geeking out watching you work on that 1914...

[@Doug-oh2jy]

Man I love these videos and bike scores. Matt, I wasn't kidding the past two years when I talked to you at the museum that working there would be my dream job. I don't care what it pays. It's all about the history for me.

[@patrickhaeg920]

I love how you search the place and come up with a part your looking for. FUN TO WATCH!

[@Bryan-fo1bm]

Dude, seriously, you are amazing to watch. I'm 57 y.o. and would love to sit and be tutored by you...for a long time. Just when I think I know something about motorcycles, i watch you and learn exactly what I DON'T know. I'm in awe. Cute assistant too

[@TrainMaster04]

Matt and the WTT crew having fun with what they love just makes my day!

[@jaimepowell5033]

I love your relationship with your daughter. Best thing a dad can do with his "little girl?" Make her a part of your life. Her memories of you will be treasures she'll carry through her life. And, I can see she loves hanging out with her daddy. That's beautiful!

[@peterhallock9486]

All I gotta say is WOW !!!!!

[@SW60845]

Awesome man, support and enthusiasm from Western Australia 💯👍

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

That was sweet having your girl there helping

[@pochito1113]

This is passion, THANKS !!!

[@moto45006ify]

The 55 is awesome and is in its original state. The 14 and the history lessons learning about the upgrades they did over the years is great information to hear. The biggest and best part of this video is having the little one with you on putting her back together, and learning to work with her hands. Nothing better than that brother. keep teaching them all the knowledge that has been passed to you to them and I bet they love every minute of it. I know we get caught up in the hustle of life, but you are probably seeing yourself when you were younger doing the same with your dad. Praises to you. Just simply awsome.

[@user-wg7dx7er8w]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience with HD

[@ess2870]

What an AMAZING video. The way you interacted with your daughter had me cutting onions! I learned, I laughed,I cried. I even cheered out loud when it fired up and you took it for its revival cruise. Such an awesome channel. Can't wait to come visit when I'm out that way! Keep up the great work fellas!

[@jerseyredd6910]

I like the idea that his daughter has an interest and maybe we'll be seeing more of her working on the bikes and taking over

[@Voyagersk9]

Holy crap! This is a good find!!!❤. Wow!!!

[@stanleybaker8707]

It's amazing how motorcycles have come so far,awesome 😊😊😊😊.

[@benpress8884]

So nice to see you passing all that knowledge and love of these wonderful machine on to your daughter. Kudos, Matt.

[@SyThco13]

These are brothers... I wish I was surrounded by people like them, I would have been happier, more educated, more useful... God bless y'all I can't wait to see the WTT museum in person!

[@wmden1]

Nothing like the first start up, and then running, of something that has been setting up for years. It's difficult to describe the feeling. Congratulations. Thanks. Made my early Sunday morning.

[@lowriderfxr]

Involving the baby girl made my heart happy.

[@1944chevytruck]

AWESOME!

[@TimLapham162]

What a great dad!! Memories made there 💖

[@danielcombs3048]

Once again Matt, I just can't thank you and the crew. Enough for showing and sharing. The knowledge and craftsmanship. On resurrecting and bringing back to life. The greatest American motorcycles of all. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Bless the whole WTT family.🫡

[@printer5518]

Holy cow, those almost impossible tanks to find were sitting on that shelf for twenty years or more, waiting for that bike to show up. It’s mind boggling. What an amazing piece of history.

[@stevensakers9146]

Such a good pops. That little girl adores you. Harley’s bring joy to my heart, but kids are the best. God bless you brother!

[@jimgillett1184]

Fantastic stuff! Daughter helping dad out Priceless!😊

[@johnharris8021]

My dad used to talk about a friend in San Francisco named Frenchie, who would win bets by riding his bike around the block in reverse. This was in the late 40's or early 50's. No sidecar or coffin.

[@richardhuff8201]

Great to see dad and daughter working together on a project. Doesn't get any better than that. I think that is Awesome!!

[@stuckinhole]

Everytrip up to Gatlinburg we come by. And I find something I missed before. Yall are great. And that lil burger place in town is banging. 🎉

[@stuckinhole]

So awesome your daughter is so involved. Hats off. The place is awesome

[@Billybob58-xf4hq]

Love it!! Beautiful example of period accessories! 1950s excess!!!

[@mcm3069]

Love how you show and share with your daughter!

[@user-bt1nd9fl3c]

Buzz Kanter, haven't heard that name in a minute! I met him at a J&P Cycles Customer Appreciation Day ( RIP John ), the year American Iron Magazine was there celebrating their Old School Shovel Tour!

[@stephenlewis9550]

My wife and I had the privilege of witnessing one of Evie's Tours this past Saturday. Its great to see the next generation will still have the passion! Amazing museum too btw.

[@Subvet684]

Amazing, what a wonderful father to have your daughter involved. As impressive as the motorcycles! Please keep up the great work!

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thank you! Will do!

[@derekjacobs9403]

Matt loved watching you and your daughter. As I watched, the bike kept switching from 'Orange to Red' and back again...Cameras? Thank-you!!!

[@mikaldene7146]

Now comes the fun part. Making it safe for the kids to ride in the sidecar...checking wires, connections, lights, bolts, nuts, screws, bearings, greasing fittings, tightening spokes, etc...

[@SierraThunder]

You always seem like a little kid on Christmas morning when you get a really rare & limited make Harley, and it's just so much fun watching you & you begin to try & reassemble it. I knew your dad from different bbike runs, swap meets & antique/classic racing meets, you & I have talked a few times as well, but I doubt that you'd remember me. I was just another guy who used to spend from late spring to mid-autumn working for different vendors & bike shops all over the country throughout the season, that was back in the days when a guy could still manage to make a living traveling around on his bike, and working for whoever would hire you for a spell & then head on down the road to the next one......

[@supercompdad5362]

Growing up, my best friend lived next door to a bike shop and they shared a driveway, I remember all of the Harleys going in and out with the reflectors, fringe, tassels, lights, bags, chrome buttons and other trim.

[@darrellbounds9919]

I see that your daughter is going to work on bikes nice seeing the two of you together 👍😊

[@Wooley689]

I hope Matts daughter gets the same passion for these bikes, be so awesome to see her grow and continue on the museum.

[@williamland1]

That rear wheel was amazing like the bike and side car !! Wow thanks for sharing this !!

[@user-wu7uw2rv6e]

Some of the best videos I like to watch if you ever get a chance to go to the museum I would definitely recommend it. It's not just the bikes to hear them run is amazing

[@Our_Life_Adventures]

Absolutely beautiful bike

[@dlucas527]

Cool bike guys! Thanks for teaching about the transmission and showing the inside of one. The 1914 bike is crazy! Thanks for showing those. I thought I saw one in Nashvillle, TN at the car museum but I can't be sure if it was a Harley. I love the internet. I am watching while in Martinique this week.

[@savageraven69]

I love watching these videos. Really considering visiting the museum in the near future.

[@rogerward9492]

That would be a crime to destroy that sidecar. Wheels through time. HISTORY.

[@nicholasparkin6979]

Excellent is all I can say. Thank you.

[@Gomi1977]

I just love seeing you involve your little girl in this, and she seems to love it as well! Live, laugh, love, learn, and pass it on.

[@user-pf6sn8rd2l]

Matt, awesome job on being a dad! She won't remember most of the motorcycle stuff, but she will remember that she is important to you. And she is learning how to be treated by a man. Set the bar high; you won't ever regret your bonding times. They pass quickly. Well done, my friend.

[@ilanfriedman114]

My favorite part was about 8 seconds in when you went in for a high five and he gave you a hug.

[@guywhitecotton1376]

Went through the MTV Illinois museum many times. Bought many knuckle parts from Dale. Never met Matt but I don't think the nut fell far from the tree! Super dudes!😊

[@rickjackson3414]

What a super nice bike ! Great video…..thanks for sharing.

[@DanielFlynn-bj4dy]

Awesome video. Kudos for getting your daughter involved

[@cqcq374]

This made my night! Love these vids! What a great bike with great character!

[@waynethomas1882]

Helping Dad… That’s Awesome…

[@user-iy6de7qi1r]

Back in the seventies, I had a 37 flathead, with a three speed and reverse. It was a sidecar Army bike, painted up in deep black and flames. The reverse was the notable issue, I'd back into a parking spot and folks would be in a circle watching me. I just love these old bikes. How about five kicks! Wow, that was easy! It sounds fantastic!

[@tomdunn7147]

Another awesome video, Great to see your daughter out there, hopefully she will catch the bug too, if she hasn't already.

[@garrywalton]

Absolute Gold......... Who else just happens to have a pair of original 1914 tanks waiting for the right bike :)

[@micklamb9942]

Love your enthusiasm and now how fantastic

[@ModernNeandertal]

I love the enthusiasm and how quickly you guys get these oldies running.

[@user-md9qf3tm7o]

Love the videos love the builds can't stop myself watching the upload love it

[@steveperry1344]

very cool with the sidecar and all the bling.

[@roberthocking9138]

Nice work, what, a find, plus you got a new apprentice

[@mtbelly1972]

Watching from the UK. I do love seeing the old bike's. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Absolutely. Im was born very near Fred Warrs HD shop Kings Rd. I remember as a kid Harleys being ridden along kings rd. Theyre so beautiful but so rare here even the WW2 45s.

[@darrelbrowning]

Dam I love thoes sadle bags that's sick. Well the hole bike is amazing

[@bitofun2]

Awesome! I don't know if I had any influence, but thank you for the ride video at end. So much cooler seeing it in action rather than fixed and done.

[@garlandhenry6792]

In my youth I had a 52 Pan. This video brought back a lot of good memories. Thank You so much

[@martinstults9419]

That so reminds me of my daughter 40 years ago. She always loved to act like she was working on motorcycles with me. What memories.

[@nbholifield]

Great video as always!!!! Amazing to see that old 1914 HD will one day be brought back to life!!! And that Pan Head is so cool too. You & Chris make a great team sir!! Great to see you including your daughter in this video...one day she will be a big part of the museum that runs!!!!

[@joegiasson9275]

Great stuff man, passing on the passion and knowledge.

[@Voyagersk9]

I would love to restore the leather bags!!

[@peteradely885]

Your Daughter followed your every move. What a delight. Been to museum and seen most of your bikes. Just great!

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you back this way again soon!

[@rayray-955]

First time viewer, what an awesome video. Thanks for a great lesson in mechanical engineering history. That 1914 ad is total techno-geek. Loved it! Hah!

[@dougyaroch3380]

That’s what super stoked looks like, Happy days 😊🍩☕️

[@jessiec4128]

That Racer looks so Awesome, If I was at that site on that day, I would have taken that one. For Sure! Also seeing that really old bike coming together, Amazing. I would love to hear something like that running! And you can do it.I Love watching your videos! I have been riding motorcycles for a long time. Me and my brothers first bike, I could not reach the the ground while sitting on the bike, But once we were going, I was good at shifting the bike no problem at all. I had a Honda XR-75 I got from a friend who used that bike in dirt bike racing. He upgraded to different class and bike size. So he sold that XR-75 to me, and the shifting was exactly the same as the Big road bike.

[@terrymassey7619]

Matt, you're the best! I've not even finished watching, but you and Evvy took the cake! Keep up the great work, I know you will, thanks for all you do🤘🤘🤘

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

wow seeing these bikes riding again is amazing you do allot of good their keeping them alive and kicking and roaring

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Its beautiful and the orange is unusual but so nice. Im not a harley enthusiast but i just love you guys enthusiasm and genius and seeing you all having such great fun. We dont see these in the UK as they werent available in the 1950s for export new. Maybe Fred Warr in Kings Rd Chelsea may get hold of rare bikes but he was the first and main importer and expert in Europe. Warrs shop and seeing harleys being ridden down the kings rd over 55 years ago was fascinatinh for me as a kid as was seeing AMF sportsters for sale around early to mid 1970s in Wimbledon new. You guys are amazing and i so enjoy seeing all these old bikes and learning a bit from you all about their storys and history especially from 1920s to 1960s. Did Chris do his locksmith apprenticeship and practice at the banks?

[@htchd1htchd149]

Those german made knurled pliers ,I noticed bro ,nice

[@Fritter70]

Matt your enthusiasm is contagious! Enjoy every second with your beautiful girls, it goes by quick.

[@mrtank1967]

You and your daughter made me smile you are both blessed. And your side car gave me the goose bumps. ❤

[@Cure4pd]

i love your enthusiasm

[@hardtail-gy8dk]

Love watching you guys geek out, incredible time capsules found, you are richest living your passion, I would call it the Christmas tree bike, red and lights galore

[@johnblair6113]

What a gift to give to your kids, Time with dad and the love of bikes.

[@SpatialDragon]

I am not even a bike guy, but your Dad and now you make it interesting. I let the ads run. I wish I could do more, but I am really poor. Watching is all I can do. Thanks for the great time.

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support!!!

[@Big_Tyrone138]

Watching you and your family do a vid together is really wholesome.

[@maxverellen7265]

This was an incredible video
