The best curator of American motoring history!

[@davepelfrey3958]

If things was as simple today as they were back in the day, we would all be in a better place. Peace ✌.

[@kevinhall2266]

The lathe is a perfect compliment to the bike. Both machines are what we need more of today in America.

[@motocafe7636]

I miss the rest of the fenders but I still love this motorcycle it's iconic.

[@gonagain]

I'm glad you see that you're taking good care of my bike!

[@kenhaley334]

Those old lathes are what built America! They don’t have to be new to do a great job. Keep up the good work !

[@rampantcolt1684]

We are all watching this thinking the same thing; "great, fix it up nice so I can ride it home after I win"! 🤣

[@nickronin9618]

this channel is a treasure you can't see those beautiful motorcycles anywhere else.

[@kenward3058]

Your honest self appraisal , transparency of your work is beyond perfect thanks for your passion it teaches me heaps all the best from DOWN UNDER

[@juliancrooks3031]

And this is why we keep coming back, your dedication to quality

[@johnnylightning1491]

And that folks is why you test ride them. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@justinkeller9187]

I own a 1926 south bend tool room lathe. I absolutely love it! Wonderful bike that I will ride to Illinois in November if I win. Great stuff Matt.

[@SpatialDragon]

Love that you are using the old equipment on the old bikes. You are amazing, I know your Dad is watching with pride.

[@Carolinaishome]

I really enjoyed visiting the museum a few weeks ago. My mind was totally blown. Love vintage Harleys. I wish my video came out a little better but I will be back.

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

Got my tickets, tick. I will be so over-the-moon if I win this awesome beauty of a road machine. Thanks for producing such a great show guys, and keeping that spirit of the Old Guard Harley's well and truly alive.

[@haroldconover5221]

I love that bike .I glad you're riding her and getting the bugs out of her .

[@03roadking]

Always a good day when a video from Wheels through Time comes out

[@fabieneldridge3414]

I would love to have a Harley , especially one that was Beautiful ! All your work is the Best ! Your bikes are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen . Your restorations are second to none. I’m sure your father is looking down and Proud if you ! Way to young man !

[@Simon-hf3lw]

I think is wonderful you have all this machinery when America manufacturer everything and it was well done 👍

[@cascadesouthernmodeltrains7547]

Ma dad has a 1938 Southbend lathe that was surplus from WWII. belt drive with 3 speeds and it does have auto feed, but that’s about it. Works perfectly!

[@MostlyInteresting]

If I lived in the area I would so volunteer there. My dad and his buds in the AAC during WW2 in Europe, built what was would now call "rat bikes" from the base scrap plile and other places. And rode them on the beach and all over.

[@genestatler2514]

Great job Matt!! Love that beautiful bike. All the best from Gene in Tennessee.

[@markmcsheffrey7174]

Thanks for fixing my bike love......

[@bobg1219]

Beautiful lathe!

[@burninpwder76]

She sounds so good!!!. I like your lathe too. I work with a pair of long bed atlas lathes both restored by me one late 1930's one 1940's made a lot of good parts on them. made upgraded dials for easier and more precise reading. Rescued both from the scrap pile. Good old tools beat shiny new tools any day in my book :) If i win the bike i am definatley riding it home :D

[@markconlon814]

Beautiful bike Matt, I can just see myself riding around Bulgaria on it!

[@nbholifield]

awesome video Matt!!! Only perfection from you and your team at WTT!!!! the absolute best videos on KZbin!!!!

[@jagjr6772]

Can’t wait to visit this museum one day. What an amazing expert.

[@matthew4457]

OK I love it!! I'll buy tickets again!!!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

WOW Awesome colors on this classic Bike....Thanks Matt 👍 Shoe🇺🇸

[@talkingrock7011]

Stunning bike Dale

[@garyenglish9338]

Will be there in July. Cant wait to buy some tickets for this thing.

[@mosads2986]

EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ 👍 DEAR SIR 👏

[@kevinshorter5861]

I would love to have that bike it is very special too!!!

[@danielseymour6726]

Those shake down runs and break in miles will have her ready for me to ride home come November. Hope to see y'all soon.

[@crazyelf3839]

What do you think caused the drum to warp OR get out of round? P.S. I know you like to find old Harleys. A few decades ago, Easyrider featured the bike from northern Indiana. Which was owned by a person who ran a Harley Dealership and he lived upstairs. The one thing which stood this bike off was the fact it was all Gold Plated. He had it on a lift system. At night it would be "lifted" up into his living quarters. Maybe y'all can find it!?

[@jeffbattles4513]

Thanks for creating these fantastic videos of your incredible restorations. I am a true fan.

[@georges777]

Great job. What a beautiful bike

[@scottarmstrong1172]

Thanks for taking care of my bike, Matt.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Stunning machine

[@pgd5000]

Loved visiting the museum back in October! I'd love to see a full video on Tom Reiser's XR750 Hillclimber. It was one of my favorites from the museum, because it just looks incredible!

[@gerrypowell2748]

Stunning bike,stunning job👌👌❤️

[@danoweston6185]

You're a genius, such a passion for what you do!

[@timeno1763]

And an artisan.

[@rickderoehn2630]

absolutely gorgeous bike

[@user-sp9wx4lv9w]

I’m glad to see you taking care of the problem. I’m going to be riding this bike home to Wyoming 🤞🏻

[@ryzen7184]

I almost like tinkering on them as much as riding them. Love the vid!! I'll def be acquiring some tickets for the bike!!!

[@Richard_Lush]

I’m saving up to take the trek down. Matt has inspired me in so many ways. We have a fairly good museum here in Alberta (!Reynolds Museum) but nothing compared to yours. Can’t wait.👍

[@SuperOperator4]

I really appreciate the care you put into MY bike!

[@3RDOOR]

I like all the roots 🫶🏻🫵🏻😎

[@jeanlawson9133]

As an old Farmer told me sometimes you just have to lick your calf again.... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols.....That lathe is the cat's meow. That thing is Sweet...

[@magpie6648]

Very nice bike indeed. The winner will be very lucky to own it. One thing though, the bike's louder than the horn😯😉😂😂😂

[@edwinthompson159]

What a beauty!

[@ramseykravec3639]

Matt, I'll happily ride it home.

[@bobg1219]

Great job Matt!

[@davidjstiles]

Great informational video!

[@straightpipec6099]

Great stuff

[@sargentslaughter3509]

Looks and sounds good!

[@theirishman8356]

Nice ride ☘️

[@jlletaw1954]

Nicely done 👍

[@jamespeters5913]

I love this bike, I love this museum and I miss Dale...😢❤

[@robertpirtle3638]

Cool I love it when you ride it off

[@claridenfirn1994]

I love South Bends!

[@xrv404]

That bike is my absolute dream..

[@jerriwebb8031]

well done

[@victorchance1510]

Nice job, quick fix. Beautiful bike. 👍💓☮️🇨🇦🦫

[@marty0715yt]

Leaking so the rag had to come out. Great service you guys provide.

[@timconder4909]

Fantastic channel👊

[@truethought369]

I think all you need, is a thin washer on the axle to keep the shoes away from the drum! Nice bike though.

[@haroldconover5221]

I intend to ride her home. 😊

[@danielbrumley6482]

The best sounding Harley engine made in my opinion !!

[@randyhuck6693]

nice job.

[@jbradkilpatrick]

I would be ecstatic if that bike ended up in my garage. I’d ride it from the museum to Dothan, AL.

[@seanchase171]

Nice scoot!

[@tetlow2]

Hey, man. They can't all be winners. I'm a career mechanic, and every now and again, I mess us something I've done hundreds of times. It always bums me out when I do.

[@michaelensminger5190]

That's a quick repair on a beauty. I used to do drum machining in the shop and was advised to put rubber around the outer circumference of it to prevent chatter. Anyone else do that?

[@victorbitter583]

Sure did. Getting the hotspots out of massive bus drums was nearly impossible unless you had the grinding attachment for the brake lathe.

[@wyattoneable]

Sweet.

[@scottt172]

The bike looks awesome. The front fender is cocked to the right a little. Can see it pretty good at 11:43+

[@donnstambaugh1506]

Sweetness.,.

[@kellysrestorations.7397]

Just wondering, I imagine that brake drum was a new one put on during the restoration. Was it a Genuine HD part or a reproduction? Love your video content here!

[@user-om7th9ll3i]

That bike nice❤

[@Flamefuels]

Wish I had a lift 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@Pavelek88]

I'm in love

[@boburwell9921]

Needs a trophy tied to the headlight 😉

[@kentyler966]

Coat the machined surfaces with lay out die then spin by hand. Any small contact spots will be easily seen through the dark blue dye.

[@alcatrazrider]

is that a sweet ride.

[@gsfinatic]

Glad she's road ready cause I'm gonna ride her home to Texas after I win her.

[@hiddenmortimer5189]

So are there ways to make a late model cruiser look like that one? How can I make the seat that tall? Awesome channel by the way.

[@paulchristopher8634]

That’s what I call “ Squeaky Bum Time “.

[@JHV166]

Turn your compound the other way. That way it will never impinge on the chuck or the part... It also keeps your fingers from the 'spinny' parts... ANd don't let anyone sell that South Bend short. It'll be capable for another hundred years if carefully maintained.

[@eerienine]

Matt is just a cool guy. Hope I meet him someday.

[@bav114]

Awesome video. Is the raffle open to people outside of the US? 🇬🇧

[@aldolajak1267]

If I win this motorcycle, I won't be riding it home in NOVEMBER, because home is in North Dakota. Would have to arrange storage in Maggie Valley till spring.

[@petermurdoch3001]

Kids, always wear you Safety glasses when working with a Lathe

[@acr21957]

Matt admitted to a mistake 😮Quick fix but it shows he’s human after all

[@timeno1763]

Everybody is mistake capable; it's the tenacity and capacity for graceful, precision recovery that really stands out. That's one beautiful motorcycle. 👍👍

[@alanspring8462]

💞💞💞

[@jtee9548]

I'd wanna know why the drum side and the shoe side of the front brake assembly were rubbing. Somethings not right, I'd want to know what that is, shouldn't have to relieve the drum. Powder coating shouldn't/couldn't be enough to cause that could it? I'd have to know what pushed what where😁😁

[@justinyoder9936]

You hear that me neither😂

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

South bend lathe made in my town

[@TomZart]

HARLEY RIDERS PAST & NOW!! I've got a brand new Harley And a tank full of gas. A beautiful woman behind me And we're not driving fast. We're pulling a trailer With a tent packed inside. For camping beneath the stars Just me and my bride. Come morning we’ll go fishing Below the damn of Table Rock Where the big trout all hide From those anglers who talk. We’ll bait our hooks with salmon eggs And catch a pan or two. Strike a fire and cook a meal And fear not the morrow’s new We left our cars at home Cause we chose to go two wheeling. As we cling to our best on wheels It gives us a special feeling! By Tom Zart Most Published Poet On The Web
