Always a treat to watch a guy living his best life.

[@nicksautorepair6936]

Finally made it to the museum yesterday. What an amazing place! I can’t wait to go back! Impossible to appreciate it all in only one visit. As a bonus, I got to meet Matt and shake his hand. Really great guy! A wonderful experience. I never knew his dad but undoubtedly he’s very proud. His legacy is definitely being properly honored. Great place, full of great history run by great people. If any of you viewers ever get anywhere near NC, make sure you get to the museum. You won’t be disappointed!

[@donwaltman4276]

Every once in a while, you see someone who is exactly where they should be. Always a pleasure to watch you work, good luck lad

[@keithspillman]

As a restorer of old military vehicles, there's nothing like bolting on old NOS parts!! Bike looks awesome!!

[@fidelcatsro6948]

even the helmet fits well on the bike, so cute! 🐱👍🏿

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

It did polish up well. The seat you installed earlier looks great and now those bag's, wow! That's a beautiful bike. Classy Classic!

[@Wootangtw]

Awesome bike… man you got life going on…. Thanks buddy..

[@garyhopkins6337]

I see you have FTW on the side of the bike, there are a lot of people out there that don't realize it meant FOREVER TWO WHEELS a long long time ago. Great show.

[@t.s.racing]

Thanks Gary, I'm 60 ishhh., and I never knew that, and I've been around Harleys and Bkkers all my life. Even ran a Nitro Iron head XL in the early 80z, and I appreciate your insight. T.S. RACING

[@motorcyclemark2889]

Its like going back to 1950 and getting a brand new bike ! Awesome

[@keithusace4352]

Man that's the way I'd like to tour the museum (like the opening of the video cruising on a bike)

[@scottarmstrong1172]

Those bags are perfect! Love the bike!

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

Mrs. Geezer and I will be coming up for the July 4th celebration. I can't wait to see this bike along with all the others. This is a "Bucket List" trip for me.

[@glowiever]

I love the color. and that green bike too. pretty rare to see harley in green.

[@stratocaster1greg]

I think old machines have a soul. God Bless.

[@oldbiker1150]

Nice bags! The whole bike looks fantastic.

[@timwalton57]

Was there last Saturday (6/11) Jake gave us the rundown on that beautiful machine! What an amazing place ! I will return! Thanks Matt....Rest in Paradise Dale

[@nickhewitt1402]

I love watching. I bet you wake up every day like it's Christmas morning. You're like the luckiest man alive living a motorcycle wet dream.Thank you for your enthusiasm and longing to share

[@Fezzler61]

Awesome beginning shot! Those old bike are art!

[@brianchisnell1548]

I swear I could see your Dad looking over your shoulder! Love that ride!

[@henrygoboy8621]

Elegance seen by simplicity and authenticity is always attractive. Bits of iron, rubber and leather crafted by human hand.

[@scoobymoto9858]

Looks awesome!!!

[@clarkbabin9799]

Those bags look perfect on that FL. It brings out anything orange on the bike. I loved having white walls on my 05 roadking but man they were hard to keep clean white and shiny.

[@briangunter4038]

The harley-davidson decal matches them makes them pop awesome matt!!!

[@lukepaulson3428]

Relatively new subscriber here but that has got to be in contention for one of the most beautiful bikes in the museum. Thanks!

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Agreed!

[@Sg81win]

What a bike. Gorgeous

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Beautiful....amazing, absolutely amazing.

[@paulaabrams7058]

Mat is a kid with Christmas all year long 🤗❤❤👍👍👍

[@67shovelhead]

Paintless dent removal on the right tank would be cool. Nice bike!! I was two years old in 1950.

[@Sauerbrew777]

That motorcycle and those bags were destined to be together! Perfection!

[@bav114]

Your enthusiasm is infectious. Loving this channel. We don’t see many old Harleys here in the UK.

[@19551ed]

Beautiful bike Matt. Was there last week. So much to take in! WTT is a MUST SEE!

[@carlnietoweise4653]

Man, your passion and love for these old beauties comes shining through, loud and clear! Top of my bucket list is to come to your museum and spend a week exploring it. Thank you for doing what you're doing!

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Come on by!

[@sicfifty3401]

What a sweetie for sure,,,thank you for the videos matt

[@lbgreen3872]

Awesome to see how excited Matt is over them bags gets me excited to watch definitely miss dale but hell Matt just as knowledgeable and talented as his dad thx guys

[@richardsherman5143]

I can't wait to visit your museum, I must have watched this video a half dozen times just to get a glimpse of this incredible place. I've already got my tickets, and I'll be there before you know it!

[@williamharley2923]

It was worth the 4000 mile drive Matt! . Enthusiasm is infectious!!

[@mixfixdave7571]

Nice to see that 50FL in all its glory. I’ve got a 50FL too, but not original…it’s definitely the most loved bike I have ever owned! Looking forward to seeing yours in person.

[@dirtbikekid]

Props to the cameraman! Just realized I’m still watching the same clip that started outdoors..

[@kevinbarrett9615]

That bike is perfection! I’m not a Harley guy or a motor cycle guy and I love this because it represents a zenith in motorcycle design like a 67 Corvette.

[@kevinturner9065]

That's an awesome machine! Those bags were perfect for it

[@apiaryandy2478]

Those bags just complete the look of that bike. Great finishing touch.

[@markwhitney9175]

What a fantastic motorcycle!

[@brustar5152]

Boy, what blast from my past that was. At 15 years old in 1961, my dad, an old Harley guy from the 1930's decided we needed a father/son project so off we went to Russ Winters Harley Davidson on Queen St. in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where we bought an ex-Toronto Metro Police unit, a 1951 Pan Head Hydra Glide with the hand shift and rocker clutch. It's tank and fenders were still painted in a cream colour with wheel spokes painted black. Russ filled bushel baskets with odds and sods he thought we'd need to put it all together and Dad and I worked all through the winter of 61 getting it back to running condition. I rode that thing until I joined the RCN and it never let me down but - as is shown in your video clip of it sitting for just the ten minutes it took you to mount those bags - it always marked it's spot wherever it was parked with chaincase drippings. Loved that old bike and desperately wished I'd kept it, even if all I did with it was to push it under the hay in the barn out back. It's be great to now at the age of 76 haul that old girl out and dangle it in front of one of the neighbour families as a potential 'nuther gen. father/son project. You guys are living the life.

[@thumpershd]

Couldn't have worked out better. This great old pan just got even nicer!

[@maxmiller8109]

I’ve never been excited about saddle bags until Matt described them.

[@fetus2280]

Wow that place is HUGE ! Never really noticed how Massive your museum is until you rode through it on this Beautiful machine .. Impressive to say the least mate . Wish i lived closer so i could visit this wonderful venue you have put together . Be Proud guys . Be Very Proud . Cheers .

[@PhiddyPford]

Always loved Dale, Matt’s a chip off the same crankshaft!

[@billowyvilla]

I love saddle bags. They make the motorcycle fun & useful.

[@garyehrhardt3136]

Wow, nice bags great addiction to a great bike 🚲

[@justingreen4450]

That's the best intro to any video I've ever seen.

[@scottlin777]

Very cool place. Very cool guy

[@greghelms4458]

Bucket list place. Sad part is it’s only a hour and some change from the house. Still haven’t been there. Love these videos. Love the history.

[@DebtheReb1369]

Those bags look great on that 50 FL Panhead

[@LloydMayes]

It would be awesome to be able to ride that beauty around town

[@tallboy2234]

Great complement to that bike! 👌😀

[@ronfisher2016]

So awesome..the bike def deserves them.

[@danielcombs3048]

Talk about a match made in heaven. That's Perfection 👍

[@rodolfogarza2042]

Man,i love the way you enjoy your passion and your work,it's a pleasure to watch your videos. By the way,i'm sorry for your dad's passing. I'm from Mexico,but i'd like to visit the museum,it's amazing!!!

[@normls8615]

Loving this in Australia. If only we could get tickets in the raffle bike. Bike and Beards made a jet ski scooter too, like the one you rode. Maybe use it for a wager in your race with them.

[@impiantan2617]

I smile along while watching. English is not my first language, for you information. : )

[@seather863]

Can't wait to see the 1950!

[@kennethwise7108]

Even has an original "FTW" sticker on it!!! 👍

[@PhiddyPford]

Yup Free the Whales!🤣😳

[@talkingrock7011]

Perfection , thanks Dale

[@joehovanec1985]

Mark, you seem to be taking a liking to that Blue 1950 Hydra glide.

[@NYNCMIKE]

you pretty much summed it up, when you said, this bike deserves the very best.

[@inspectorclouseau3880]

wow, amazing looking bike

[@timdavis8154]

Awesome find.

[@steveanderson5888]

I'm amazed those bags they're like really awesome on that motorcycle

[@jdbmoto]

Solid find!

[@bigredc222]

I work on a lot of antique woodworking machines, I was surprised, they didn't use a lot of washers and lock washers back then.

[@oldcult317]

Very Nice!!

[@billk65]

What a beautiful bike

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

Visited again Monday. As always, just a wonderful experience. Thanks so much to Matt and all the staff @ WTT . I would really like to hear the story of the two K- Model Sportsters with the (Red and White) molded cut out gas tanks .One tank appears larger than the other and both would appear to be greater capacity than the normal flat track race tanks . These are two of my favorite bikes in the Museum and the larger tank one is indeed my absolute favorite. Would love to know their origins, where and how they were raced and by who??

[@c103110a]

They sure look fancy!

[@turboboy0]

i love how the only STATIC EXHIBITS are the ones that don't run (yet). all the bikes start and get ridden from time to time as they were meant to.

[@kevinaltizer]

Awesome!!!

[@benjimandover8072]

Whatta absolute gem...

[@easycrider7453]

Love it !

[@abandoneduniverses]

Salivating a HD mark on leather bag..yeah its real emotion hahaa well done mate i enjoy this one for sure...salutations from Greece

[@robertwells6454]

Cool. Nothing like the real thing. 🤟😎🦅

[@vonryansexpress]

Oh my - what fun, what joy . . .😊🤣

[@MarcS4R]

just awesome

[@hawgryder13]

Way cool. Same age as me! Wish I ran that well-LOL.

[@straightpipec6099]

Very cool

[@richardschaffling9882]

Looks fantastic now a dumb question how low will the seat on the old bikes go

[@danielseymour6726]

I like the dent , it adds character. Shows it's been ridden. Absolutely beautiful. Keep up the good work everybody.

[@johnnysechrist6313]

Skidmores leather creme would restore those old bags. It'll also protect the new bags. Old leather lasts longer because different chemicals were used during the tanning process. I still wear a USMC black belt my dad wore during WWII. I still wear the leathers I got 40 yrs. ago.

[@hfjdlofhdkjd]

If I could have ANY bike in the museum .

[@roynelson7613]

That is badass I just seen your video of bringing it home and firing it up damn it sounds good and Chris is the shit he's always right there for you whatever you need he's a damn cool dude ♥️💪🏾💪🏾♥️👍🏽👍🏽😎👊🏽💨💨💥👍🏽👍🏽

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Heck ya On my EVO Softail or any bike I've always worked out of my saddlebags I've always had to have saddlebags somehow someway cuz I can't stick all my tools in my job in my pocket LOL every once in a while it's nice to take the sound bags off I guess to make sure everything's still back there. But I have found them useful for the last 40 years

[@TheOldaz1]

Sure looks real pretty with those bags on there - need to get some better stuffing inside them to get the shape back a bit better and help preserve them, left bag looks better shape than right side, but then I've seen them with the top straps left undone and they get a shape more like the right side.

[@BSAKat]

Perfect opener, no notes.

[@robertwells6454]

The bag's make the crash bar's look better too.

[@damhall9300]

Freedom at it s finest ; )

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Hardtail Panhead one of the best motorcycles and the most comfortable motorcycles that Harley ever built if they built those brand-new today they wouldn't stay on the showroom floor for 5 minutes and I know I'd be in line to buy one

[@gerrypowell2748]

Nice❤️

[@Patriot-up2td]

Gotta call the Dent Wizard to pull that dent out of the tank. Just like ServePro, “Like it never even happened!”

[@curtisharrison4837]

You decided that is original paint. The perfect bag for that bike. New daily. Check out Paintless dent repair. I think the dent is beautiful, but I ain't right.

[@bigcatproductions2789]

Watched this twice ! So far 😎👍

[@fredmasse6451]

Play safe and add lock washers 😉
