Restoring a RARE Motorcycle - 1936 Knucklehead

[@UliMuliko]

1936, like stone age, still look better anything in 90 years later

[@drthompson65]

100%

[@NVZ249]

Yes sir

[@dawnmathis2659]

Blah Blah Blah 🤡

[@debster883]

I think that is the most beautiful bike I’ve ever seen. Absolutely stunning!

[@joeriordon5113]

Not just a rebuild. You’ve created a brand new 1936 knucklehead! Beautiful job guys!

[@bretthenson9447]

Matt you and Chris have truly gone way above and beyond anything I could have expected in the Restoration of this Lovely 36 Knuckle, Fabulous Job Fella's 😊👌

[@JoeJr75]

Love the detail you go through to make these bikes come back to life

[@user-Borgus]

Awww! That speedo is more special than most diamonds. I admire the way you cherish its existence.

[@mindeloman]

I'm not in to Harley Davidson Motorcycles. I watch this channel for the history and the craftsmanship. I have to say; that is a beautiful bike!!!!

[@l.t.dolmstead6794]

The prettiest bike I’ve ever seen put together. Black and gold knucklehead!!

[@joachimpohle5260]

It´s stunning.

[@panders55]

One beautiful 36. The color is smokin!!!

[@zerkfitting]

I like the way your camera guy moves around a lot rather than being static. He moves just like I would if I were actually there watching Matt and Chris putting this beauty together.

[@badianoudis]

Omg its so beautiful bike!! Pls make more restoration videos with more details...

[@michellekilfoile7422]

This is the BEST motorcycle channel,hands down.. thanks guys

[@lescrooge]

Disorganised chaos in those bolt trays. bike color is amazing.

[@Jimmy-Jaffa]

If only we had some of these old Harleys in the UK. These guys have got me hooked 👍

[@robert-wr6md]

Don't worry when I win it there will be one in the UK.

[@tiredhero]

I'm saving up 😂

[@CleetoMange]

There are a lot of old Harleys in Europe left there after WWII.

[@TJDomore]

Been riding since 73 . First bike 73 ,HD 125. Visited museum 6 times Like a new experience everytime. Great work on the Bike .🎉

[@howardkayecrabyman]

Matt in 1970 I worked at the Milwaukee Wisconsin assembly plant and worked in the paint shop with that guy he was old than and a real interesting guy. But I was only 20 years old and everyone was old to me 😅 God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏

[@theone2be33]

How you feel about Harley going Woke?

[@Mohawk21-oi1nit]

​@@theone2be33let's leave the woke and choked awAy from Matt!!!! Everything he is working on or has brought "back to life" is before WOKE AND CHOKED???? and a different time when AMERICA was the BIG SWINGIN STICK ON THE SCENE!!!! PLEASE!!!! I THINK THAT WOULD BE BEST.....

[@howardkayecrabyman]

@@theone2be33 this is just another example of what the HD management is out of touch with its client base. I have not been a happy customer since they closed my dealership in munster ind Calumet harley davidson was a great family owned and very customer oriented store 👍 missed by many. I hope to make it to the museum again. Matt be safe and GOD BLESS AMERICA

[@howardkayecrabyman]

@@theone2be33 i think they just shot themselves in the foot

[@angelsierra1988]

Fantastic !!!

[@howardkanitz4998]

OMG! This thing brings tears to my eyes. Unbelievable. Your Dad would be so proud!

[@garyseaton4619]

Matt and Chris, you've outdone yourselves again. This is truly a sight to behold. I'm anxiously awaiting the start... Thank you for sharing this fabulous piece of history...

[@michi_danksta]

It's a twin to the 1936 you and your dad did. I see why you love it so much. Beautiful piece of useable art.

[@kevinroberts7158]

It looks just like your 36 Knucklehead video from three years ago. I'd love to see them side by side. Nice job and I'd love to own it.

[@robertwells6454]

The paint is fantastic & really makes the bike look like it just rolled off the line. 🤘😎🔥

[@ToddHavel]

I understand, had the same feeling when I had my bike painted. The painter was not quite sure about it until it was all together. Was totaled by a hit and run driver, I have not fully recovered. My daughter had a framed picture put up in the garage so I can see it every day! Love the history and the enthusiasm that your father shared with everyone. It is rare to see passion nowadays. Thank you for sharing these moments!

[@waynemorgan3095]

Another absolutely beautiful build, love the color, love the bike. Another great example of the good workmanship of these war horses. Thanks for Another beautiful bike

[@northbreezehuskies]

Unbelievably breathtaking beautiful bike Nobody can restore a motorcycle as good as you guys Because you put your heart and soul into it,being just a perfect from coming off the production line. When it was first made in 1936

[@thumpershd]

I am blown away with the colors on this bike, pure perfection! Most likely the best raffle bike ever, thanks so much!

[@rickarndt3895]

I truly love your channel I've been all over this beautiful country of ours. I'm 65 and I'm all crippled up and had to sell my beautiful iron horse 🐴 and when I watch what you guys do it brings back memories my buddies used to call me a chromeosexual cause of all the chrome I had on my girl she was so beautiful. I wish I had a trike but unfortunately a disability check won't allow that. So I'll just keep watching all you guys do you get and restore so many beautiful iron So just keep doing what you do and I'll just kick back and keep watching truly appreciate and love what you do bros so keep on keeping on. Have a blessed day.

[@richb.4374]

That bike is beautiful! You fella's do magnificent work!

[@todds2248]

Absolutely stunning! I would be terrified to work on that with finished paint!

[@MrRickb04]

Ok guys, thanks for your hard work. I'm winning this bike in November. Absolutely gorgeous, like a piece of fine jewelry. I'm in love.

[@mikeh.4087]

I really enjoy watching these restorations and learning about the machines as you talk about them in the videos. Great job!

[@christurner7711]

I always buy some tickets online and then make my annual pilgrimage to the museum in June or July to buy more. This yr the wall of death was out front and I remember Dad taking me to see these when I was a kid, this museum brings back such fond memories of my childhood and the lost Americana I wish the post nafda and cold war generations could experience. I would love to win the bike but I really like the trips every yr to buy tickets lol, Matt your dad started something that you are carrying on that mean so much to so many of us

[@andrewtiefry5990]

I am a person that absolutely loves everything done as it was when it was built. Keep it up I enjoy watching these peices of history brought back to life for all of us to enjoy

[@aserta]

That rolodex is like the Rosetta stone of HD. People would do anything to have something similar in their respective automotive field from the early days of car manufacturing. The paint's clean, it's not faded. Priceless artifact.

[@doctoribanez]

Awesome bike. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for these bikes. You are truly a one of a kind guy .

[@larspederson1451]

I really look forward to seeing these builds every year. Maybe someday I can win 😊

[@paulrhame9634]

Wow. That 36 is so freaking cool. I would keep it forever and will it to someone in my family when I’m too old to ride it.

[@marktownsend9254]

I love watching ur videos, we don't see many bikes like urs here in the uk but I have to say this bike is truly biblical and who ever gets to be the proud owner will be truly blessed. Awesome job guys, just beautiful 👍👍👍👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@williemorgan6738]

I wasn't so sure about that color until I seen the tanks going on and that just bring it all together very quickly such a beautiful bikeee guys thanks for showing us.

[@scottarmstrong1172]

Absolutely beautiful! Great color choice. This sure would be a nice year to win!

[@user-Borgus]

You, Sir, have the most interesting job that I can think of. I envy you. I started my apprenticeship at Rocky's Harley-Davidson in London, Ontario, Canada in 1990. My hope was to learn to wrench Harleys and eventually gain enough knowledge to work on the older bikes and then restore them to museum status. You're living my dream. I get a lot of satisfaction from watching your videos now. I've been disabled since 2005, but your work gives me satisfaction that I cannot attain. I thank you kindly for sharing your experiences with us. Have fun! Sincerely, Morgan Taylor. Yokohama, Japan. Formerly from Onterrible, Canaduh.

[@michaelmorgan6796]

Unbelievable job on that motorcycle. Your knowledge on year particular parts and models is unmatched. Love your channel.

[@jangles1839]

She came out absolutely gorgeous guys! Hoping to get up there and visit soon! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼

[@henriknordeng]

Now THAT is a beautiful bike! Really nice work

[@MichaelCuthbertson-xv6ig]

OMG Matt, it is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing this with us. Regards Michael from Tasmania, Australia

[@jeremyp2295]

I absolutely loved last year's bike. From the first moment I saw it I felt it was the perfect bike. It took me a little longer to fully realize how much you guys have topped it with this year's bike. This is a beautiful build you always put so much subtle perfection into your work that you can't see it all at one time. You have to come back and look again and again and each time you appreciate it even more. I can't wait until the raffle. And I can't wait to see next year's bike it's going to be amazing.

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

Omgoodness.😂You are my dad. The infamous trays of bolts. Oh crap I am probably older than you . When I lost my dad. I couldn't believe what I found. I have learned sooo much watching you. I was an ASE car mech. Love your videos. I used to own a Kawasaki Ninja 250 R But I had to sell it. Always wanted a Harley though but now I am disabled. The only thing I could ride is a trike but I am living on VA disability and SSDI so I can never afford it. But I can live my dreams watching you. So thank you so much. God bless you.

[@boblasseter8617]

2011...I was at WHEELS with a group of guys from TEXAS (coming thru from going to Canada)...wish I had known who you were then. Y'all knocked this build out of the park!!!!!

[@steelwheels327]

That paint combo is absolutely beautiful . The bike is rolling art !

[@rawhide894]

Knuckled and floored !!!. Super stuff guys. Thank you.

[@thomaspunchur3627]

The rolodex is amazing!!! Quite appropriate for your place, true museum piece!

[@jaybarnhardt2197]

Definitely the nicest bike you guys have done so far. That paint on a 36....Awesome!!!

[@Liam1H]

With that Knuckle head engine, you could have painted the bike pink and it would still be drop dead gorgeous but, that engine combined with that special order paint and scheme I think just reset the bar. Lord, that's a beautiful bike and even more beautiful when you said that this was your "new" raffle bike!

[@The.Real.Timmii]

I love your videos, thank you!

[@gregpope3818]

That is the nicest bike ever. I will be sending you money for the tickets. It a amazing. It is a real beauty. You guys did better than perfect. So nice.wow..Greg pope

[@jeremyamarillas1]

The most beautiful restoration I’ve ever seen, well done boys!

[@crebbsjd]

Awesome build!! It's so cool to think you could have bought an identical '36 Harley' and picked any color scheme. I wish more guys would have bought them. It's probably my favorite bike of all time. Would be cool if Harley would make a reproduction of that identical bike so a common guy could have that bike. Dreams! 🇺🇸

[@damiancaesar1686]

Fantastic!! Such a beautiful job you're doing on my bike 😅. I learn so much from your videos, thanks.

[@RafaelOliveira-tw1br]

Guys, a very very beautifull bike! Love from Brazil, congrats on the build!

[@maikbindemann5218]

Eine wirklich tolle Arbeit und eine wunderschöne Maschine. Die Lakierung ist aussergewöhnlich schön. Solch ein Motorrad ist eine echte Wertanlage für die Zukunft.

[@peterrad5102]

Wonderful restauration. I really appreciate your kind of honoring the japanese people by giving your Harley Davidson a golden wing to remind to the Honda Goldwing. This is truly great of you

[@colinmiles9390]

That has to be the coolest Knucklehead ever designed and that Gold colour makes it pop perfectly. Good choice on colour Matt 👊👍👌💪

[@RichardMason-t7s]

Love your channel!!! Not sure if you drink a lot of coffee, or red bulls, or what l used to enjoy, 40yrs ago? But it's great watching you guys!!

[@TheJurgen1973]

i like homemade oldschool choppers, but this purism is also mindblowing.....entertainment level 💯

[@JustinRepo29]

No reason to hold the raffle. Just declare me the winner and I'll swing by and pick it up😂😂. Freaking awesome machine.

[@SteeringSteel]

Could you imagine how pissed people are going to be if you actually win after posting this comment? 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidmcgahan5328]

I already declared myself the winner months ago. I love my bike it's so beautiful. This is definitely the most awesome bike to win. Good luck everyone.

[@lesthiele4921]

I am a poor pensioner, here in Australia, so I out rank you both, I will take the bike if my wife lets me have it 😃

[@JustinRepo29]

@@SteeringSteel I'll deal with the heat for that bike lol

[@stevestowell-virtue3781]

If I win it I'll donate it back to the museum. No two ways about it.

Good evening, very good restoration, it is the most beautiful motorcycle I have seen in a long time, my congratulations and respects from Uruguay.

I’ve been riding Indian Motorcycles since 2016 and I truly have been completely satisfied. I now own a 2023 Indian Pursuit and it is so comfortable and has super power. I love Harley’s paint but not so much for the bike.

[@daveblackstock5167]

SUPER COOL BIKE! Probably the coolest bike Harley ever made and you made it even better 👌 👍

Beautiful bike, if only the tickets were available to buy world wide xxx

[@Hog-g2z]

Good morning 🌅, or it will be for someone who ever wins this gorgeous Bike, This bike as soul just like The Blues music to your ears, The new HD as lost all of its character, it’s meaningfulness and its soul, there’s no music in the air anymore, I love that paint 🎨 colour, you go into the dealership showrooms nowadays and all you see is dark colours, And they all look the same, Keep up the great work stay safe look forward to hearing it seeing it going down the road , there’s a pity I live in France as I’d love to enter in the raffle, but knowing my luck I wouldn’t win it anyway, I write a Softail deuce , 2003, I brought this bike about three months ago, it looks like it’s been through the wars obviously the previous owner hasn’t looked after it very well, France,
