1946 Harley Davidson FL Knucklehead

[@madelynzauner6040]

I just came across this video tonight. My name is Mark Zauner. Me and my dad restored this motorcycle from ground up. It was my uncles bike when we got the bike. It was in a chicken coop and it was yellow. We brought it back to Bakersfield from Nebraska and went to the bike completely thank you Ken Senior means a lot to me that bike brings back a lot of memories that me and my dad worked on bikes together

[@miketr732]

Damn ken im running out of space on my you tube favorites. I save all my favorite bikes you guys get. Keep up the good work.

[@toddaod295]

What a machine...and 78 years old..amazing.

A damn fine piece of Art Deco mobile sculpture !!!

Today was one of those days that I woke up on the wrong side of bed... On Easter Sunday. The only thing that takes my mind off the rare chroic health issue I have and the stresses in life that come with it. Talking motorcycles with anyone instantly makes me feel amazing! I live in a small town and am not afraid to say I'm a lonely man. Your vides bring so much joy to thousands of people worldwide 💯🙏 Its on my bucket list to come see your museum, try not to drool over your beautiful bikes, and maybe talk a few moments with you, JR, or anyone at your shop. I'm gonna be on long island September 2024 and am gonna make the drive to Connecticut when I'm out there just to see the museum, main house, and the smaller one y'all are working on now. I was born in '92 with a very old soul that has no social media at all 🤣 Thank you all for letting us viewers to visually be part of this. Your museum and bikes will still be drooled over in the year 2084 😜💯

[@sonnyseabury4051]

You're not alone, brother. I'm on permanent disability for intractable pain disease. A former urologist messed me up badly. I know what loneliness is like at times. Companionship would be nice for me, but it has to be healthy and of quality, otherwise I'm not interested and better off single, since it's far better to be alone, than in unhealthy company. I'm not willing to settle for the sake of companionship, like many people do. I owe it to myself not too, as do you. I never have had a problem finding women. The problem has been the majority of the women I found, were liars, game players, and unappreciative. I too, am a lifelong lover and rider of motorcycles, street and dirt. If you ever want to chat, get a hold of me on here, and I can also be reached on FB under Sonny Seabury. Just let me know where I know you from. I love talking motorcycles and music. Take care, brother. You're in my prayers.

I love hearing all the knowledge you and your team have on every bike from every manufacturer. I hope some day I get to the museum and get to meet you Ken.

[@KaplanCycles]

Please do!

[@ktownkanak808]

Wow! That Knucklehead is in immaculate condition! Thank you for these great videos about American History. 😁🤙

[@KaplanCycles]

[@seather863]

Such an iconic bike!

[@more.power.]

Thank you Ken great history on the Harley Davidson

[@KaplanCycles]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheAjs71]

Make no mistake Ken Snr, you Sir are also an Icon! Your passion for your Family, Nation, Motorcycling and life in general is infectious and to be commended. Look after yourself and keep that throttle pinned Brother...

[@KaplanCycles]

I appreciate that, thank you brother!

[@Harley-k6h]

Always put the clutch petal down it will save the springs Ken. Nice video!

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Stunning vintage classic. Unheard of condition. The man and his family really went the extra mile taking care of all of their bikes, passing them down from generation to generation. Posting on FB for all my Harley Loving Buddies. I don't think their pockets are deep enough. This beautiful bike is gonna be understandably expensive.

[@sissygoog9456]

Oh my God a 1946 knuckle the only bike that I've ever wanted my whole entire life Ken that is absolutely beautiful❤ I love everything about it I love where the shifter is on the gasoline tank the most beautiful bike in your collection Kaplan Cycles number one God Bless America❤

[@thomasborger6548]

What an interesting history lesson about that bike and its life, well delivered by that young fella with the long hair.

[@tol12341]

Incredible piece of original history.

[@donniehowlett1185]

Ken that is amazing and super clean! I have approx 50 years as a bike mechanic and only been able to work and do a top end job on one of those! Great find Ken!

We have a biker's joke here in Britain, 98% of all Harley Davidson bikes ever made are still on the road today , the other 2% actually made it home

Built by the average joe, raced maintained by the average joe sadly average joe can't afford to buy it .

[@markjaycox8811]

The average Joe doesn't take care of his stuff like this has been taken care of. You're paying for years of love and attention, that can't ever be reduced or duplicated.

[@A-FrameWedge]

Not now but these could be had for cheap years ago but not in this shape, and many average Joe’s bought them.

@@A-FrameWedge Prices on Real Estate in my area have increased to 90% just since 2020. A house purchased for $420,000, is now 4 years later listed for $749,000, just recently changed from $799,000. Another up the street same Road in 2020 was bought for $60,000, and today's asking price is $149,000, so that's over 100% more in 4 years! Buy real estate now, or your descendants will become slaves.

[@ar2043]

Does it have a hand clutch or what were you doing there??? Sweet scoot!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

[@KaplanCycles]

Hand clutch with a foot shifter

[@HJG1964]

Foot clutch, hand shift... Front brake is on the left side of the handlebar, if your asking about the Knuck.
