In 1977 I bought a very tired 1972 XLCH Sportster, I was 25. In 1978 I took the engine to Pucket Motors in Orlando for them to do a major rebuild on it not just the top-end. I'm now 71 and I;m still riding this quick Sportster. The engine hasn't been apart since Pucket put it together.

Amen brother I've been to the museum and it's a absolute time capsule. The old man had a vision and made it reality. And I love the fact people donate their history to preserve it. It's a very unselfish thing to let go of these treasures so everyone can hear the story and relive the past or learn about it.

I came across your channel when B&B brought down the bike you built the engine on for the first start and ride. It is rare to see someone with so much passion and knowledge who loves to share it with anyone who has that little sparkle in the corner of their eye with a need for help with their dream! What’s even more amazing is that your passion extends to all bikes! I’ve loved Harley’s all my life but, my lust for speed and handling led me to rice burners! I didn’t and still don’t care what a person rides as long as they enjoy the freedom a bike offers them! All I ask of them is to ride safe and try a safety riding class to help stay alive! Really enjoy your content and enthusiasm for bikes! As always, stay safe and healthy! Ron

To anyone viewing these Wheels thru time Videos, I say go visit this museum. We were there in 2018 and its simply a place to see Special Motorcycles. There is no place that displays history so well also. For me it was a treat we staayed at a local Motel so we could spend the day there. Thanks for such a special treat.

I wonder if those exhaust pipes were the inspiration for D&D/Jammer's drag pipes that they marketed in the early '70s. I always thought they were really nice looking, though I doubt they did much if anything for performance in a street machine.

Great old Harley and a big piece of drag bike history. Another old Harley of slightly.more recent fame on the drag strip is the “iron head” sportster named Fried Rice run by Jim Hausler out of Bergen County Harley in New Jersey back in the 80’s. Running on Gas with a single S&S carb, it was the first one to break into the 9’s in 1982 setting an AMA record at ATCO dragway at the Nationals of 9.63 sec at 137.61 mph. Running under Hausler Brother’s Engineering with his brother Charles “Chuck”, and making improvements to the bike and basic motor along the way, they went on to hold the AMA number One plate for many years in the Pro Stock class and eventually set the world record for a gas burning, carbureted, push rod, “iron head” Harley Sportster of 8.643 sec at 153.93 mph that still stands today.
