I loved racing TTs when I was younger and at age 74 I'm damn glad I was too young to race on one of those monsters! 🤣🤣🤣

[@thatsmrharley2u2]

Love it! Ride 'em don't hide 'em!

[@johnvargo5538]

Only one kick starting bikes make it so much more fun to ride , than having to kick your bike over and over to get it running ! Finding the starting procedure helps too !!!

[@noot7109]

The black one is BEAUTIFUL D:

[@moorshound3243]

I want one.

[@yzrider3326]

Love the content! Dad would be proud and I’m sure is still riding in heaven.

[@garysmith5781]

I really like that these guys "ride" these bikes. Tried to go see this place last summer 2020, closed for Covid.. Gonna try again soon..😁

[@PortCharmers]

You got me baffled at first. When I hear "TT" images of Nortons, Velocettes and Matchlesses come up immediately. Images of road so narrow that even the Vincents seemed rather big.

[@depthsounderdave]

Love how the Panhead came back missing the air cleaner cover. These bikes are raw!

[@joekelly9555]

Love your videos Matt, great job and thanks for all the work (and fun) you do keeping the history alive. I plan a visit this summer.

[@twocanplayatthat]

Two stunning bikes! Thanks for sharing.

[@masonryjoe]

Sweet old school bikes , Thanks !

[@mickeycrilly1839]

Binge watching at 3 in the morning in U.K. thanks for the excellent history lesson

[@westall6662]

These guys have the best job in the world

[@brushcountry6361]

Yah, but they created this job. Heroes

[@craigapelbaum1629]

Nice machines. It`s nice to see the history of Harley Davidson Motor Company from their hay day.

[@isellcatlitter]

i love old iron... i have a 1977 AMF Shovelhead Super Glide and a couple of old farm tractors, one is a 1949 John Deere A, and the other is a 1949 Ford 8N.... all run perfectly

[@moorshound3243]

This is awesome glad I found you guys.

[@Victorsadventures2774]

One of the other benefits of the raised transmission is that it puts the transmission shaft more or less in-line with the engine sprocket and rear wheel sprocket. With the transmission in its stock location, under extreme use the height difference between the engine sprocket essentially tries to rip the transmission up. Awesome bikes !

[@OL-Tom]

Love my 58 panhead. Don't ride it as much as I should. Mostly my 99 EG Classic is my go to.

[@motophoenix5951]

Hi fro UK. Great to see these bikes. They are a bit different to TT bikes on this side of the pond. But then I think TT (Tourist Trophy) racing over here is something quite different. Thanks for all your videos. That is a wonderful museum you have. If I ever get over to the USA, I'll come and visit.

[@williamamacker3119]

Killer sweet bikes awesome racers thank you for your great video 🧐🤔🤘

[@adamdipaolo2954]

Best job ever!!

Much respect.

[@shanedavis6191]

I live right down the street from Buddy Stubbs H-D. Hes got a Museum attached to the dealership. Hes got a PEASHOOTER and a bunch of KRTT bikes on display

[@pskemster]

Best job,,,ever!

[@richardhier3847]

That was cool !!!

[@ahill7099]

You just like rubbing it in don't ya...kidding super cool.machines tha KS for sharing can't wait till knuck drawing..got my tickets DVD sweet shirt and stickers...and super fast thanks guys..keep em comin

[@anarchistangler]

That panhead is like the most insane motorcycle I have ever seen. How could pulling up in your spandex tights on some Asian machine ever compare with rumbling down the road on that? Does your workplace need an assistant?

[@mechanicman8687]

I would take the pan head ANYDAY!!!!

[@richardchristman8913]

How cool would it be to work there and be able to drag race these old bikes with your boss!

[@caccadu12]

That knucks clutch pedal is one hell of a heck job but pretty cool

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

I like old things, bikes included. I like to have a little corrosion in my life.

[@thomvogan3397]

I had a 48 panhead, a 53 panhead and a 57 panhead. Loved them all, especially the 57 with it's straight leg frame but I always thought the knuckle was the nicest looking engine and could never get my hands on one. I also had a flat head 80 and some shovels. To me Harley engines lost some of their looks when they came out with the evo and squared the cylinders. But maybe I'm just old and being nostalgic

[@fuhkoffandie]

47 knucklehead, 63 pan bottom, 99% original setup, right down to that super springy seat with all the Chrome around it

[@Theophilus1968]

It doesn't get cooler than that. 💪

[@KowboyUSA]

Always wanted a Panhead, but all I got besides a bunch of Flatheads, a Knuckle and a couple Shovels was a Zippo lighter with a Pan motor on it.

[@johngrepo9976]

Stop bragging cowboy..lol

[@joemarinho1821]

Excellent

[@Desert9999]

We want more driving scenes please!!!!!!

[@jonnnywod4339]

Knuckleheads never die 🤟😎

You guys kick Azz !!

[@HaXaW5150]

I love the new bikes of today, the old bikes have the col factor turned up to 100

[@richardschaffling9882]

Nice but when are you going to open this year

[@deadheadlights]

Hell Yeah!

[@waynebastianelli8391]

You are so lucky ! Great 👍bikes great show I would drive it just like that only live once that bike was built right it outlived how many? Harley Davidson. You live on.

[@mikebigyard6568]

The FLTT looks like a beast

[@kipphawley4514]

Be cool to see if he's able to get those Motorcycles from M.A.S.H TV series and Fonzies , Batman and Bat Girl also Billy Gray's from Father Knows Best of his Racing Motorcycles. Or see if he can bring one or two to him. Just love those types of classic Motorcycles.

[@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj]

Why did you guys take the air filters off?

[@charliedallimore7909]

Oh give me a fire road!

[@dogpaw775]

Trust that air cleaner cover didn't get squished. What about that damper on the knuck, factory part or rider mod'?.

[@harleycooper8701]

Man I hope yall do a video on the trabb motorcycle in the museum

[@timryerson6733]

they just did its an incredible bike well worth watching

[@ellbot2000]

4:14, the oil spots on the floor? Yea, that's why there's such a huge oil tank

PANHEADS FOREVER

[@Ballenxj]

74 cubic inch = 1212 cc. Pretty big engines. Thanks for the video.

Now that’s a sportster motor and you can get 131ci motors from the factory

@@Heavywall70 still slow .

[@Antichrist-gk7pe]

anytime anyone can replicate full quality builds, i would buy each one

[@johnrose8044]

Are those pads bolted onto the fender for passengers?

[@traviswilson4700]

That pad was for the rider to sit when getting low over the tank in a straight.

They belong in a museum

[@natesieg8407]

They are

I love the old bikes but they were only fast for their era.

no shit sherlock..

[@Teatimeted]

You my friend are quite silly

[@Teatimeted]

@kev googlestein no doubt he hasn't :)

[@AbdulAllahAbuDaoud]

You lost the air cleaner!

[@Wooley689]

He took it off before they came out of building.

[@nils_on_wheels]

What were the p pads for on these racing rockets? Beautiful bikes!!!

[@timryerson6733]

so you could shift your ass back over the fender to get more weight over the back wheel for better traction

[@nils_on_wheels]

@@timryerson6733 yes this make sense for sure!!!!

[@nils_on_wheels]

@@timryerson6733 but one thing i still don't get. Some of the machines have these flat solo bates style seats with the springs.. Wich are mounted pretty low on to the frame in comparison to the original. As i have a panhead with a foot clutch as well, to me it seems impossible to gearshift right when i sit this low. I always wonder how they manage it.

[@timryerson6733]

@@nils_on_wheels i have a tough time using a hand shift bike at the best of times let alone ones with foot clutches, the only hand shift bikes that i have every rode and looked like i knew what i was doing was with a hand cable clutch mounted to the shifter

👍😎

[@martincvitkovich724]

This was hard to watch for me as I had a 1951 that someone ripped off from me in 1974

[@bartschwartz7217]

My grandfather had a Indian- said the H-D were way too fast by him

Hi hurry an come Back !

Maybe FAST to run out of petrol? ;)

[@dannyb20vtec28]

Switch bikes with each other and run it again! I think it’s the rider not the bike!

[@ronalddauro563]

I say the tire

[@bradboustead1682]

Gotta let the boss win.😜

[@MrScottiedub]

Why a 6 minutes video ?

[@rustyjames2202]

They literally ride the bikes for less than ten seconds.

[@nonametyvm]

a bit more than that , the camera guy changing locations to get different shots... and they are museum pieces , being rid minimally to keep them in running condition & to keep wear to a minimal . however i agree , more footage of the running(s) would be great

[@rustyjames2202]

@@nonametyvm Ok I don't know why you feel the need to make excuses for these people but the name of the video is "These bikes are fast" not "These bikes are museum pieces". What the hell do you think people will be expecting when they click the video?
