What's This Bike ACTUALLY Worth? Let's Find Out!

[@soganoflarider]

For anyone who has never visited the museum it’s a must see😎👍

[@10Bdog10]

The smell of the place is worth the visit alone.

[@stewkeene]

I have not…. Yet

[@Frankfoot986]

Ridin down from MA next June

[@bryanquichocho1280]

If I ever make it to the mainland it's definitely on my list🤙🏾.

[@Richard_Lush]

Riding from Edmonton Alberta Canada to it. It’s my Mecca. It’ll take a bit of planning but it’ll be worth it. 👍

[@michaelrubbo7467]

I visited Wheels Through Time on 8/21/22, one day after this video. It was my first visit, and I didnt' expect to meet Matt, let alone get the chance to talk with him for a few minutes. He and the staff were so, so friendly and accessible. It was worth the trip! I had a chance to see Big Fish and the raffle bike and spent two hours roaming through the museum. Go, you will not be disappointed. Thanks to Matt and everyone at Wheels Through Time for sharing their space and collection with us.

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thanks for your support Michael! See you next time!!

[@greatsouthlandmike7260]

can't get to the real museum, but thanks Matt and team for wheels through time on you tube. my number one channel this one. 👍🇦🇺

[@TheAshfishman]

Love what you do, especially with the total and utter passion you convey with your presentation. Stunning motorcycle lovingly re crafted. Well done.

[@stewkeene]

Matt, you’re making works or art. Doesn’t matter the $ value. That bike is priceless beyond the money. You’re such a master of your craft and the winner should be honored to own such a hand built treasure and real significant piece of history. Btw, I already have my tickets 👍🏻♥️

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thanks for the support!

[@joehovanec1985]

I want you and the museum to succeed and sell tickets. You have done a beautiful job restoring that bike. A true museum piece to admire and ride. Matt, I haven't noticed any Sportsters at the museum. The early Sportsters are special bikes also.

[@skgate]

yeah but theres 1000x more sportsters than there are flatheads, knucklehead, and before.. there wouldn’t be enough room to collect ironheads. they go for 5k max, so that would be too easy to fill the place up with them. i’m sure there’s at least one ironhead there.

[@williamford6054]

Look around there were a few there

[@themotorhino1331]

Plenty of Sportys at the museum

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Beautiful machine Matt. Who ever wins this should be honored to have such an awesome bike

[@jonnothetrucker]

I've got a few places on my bucket list to see when I visit from Australia.. wheels through time is definitely at the top 👌

[@skgate]

good choice my friend

[@brendonleary]

Definitely. Carter's Guitars in Nashville and Wheels in Time are at the top for me. I'll be riding as many States as I can in 2025.

[@easycrider7453]

Beautiful bike ! I believe my dad had a 37 Knuckle Head when he came home after WWII. Would love to have one so I could experience some of the things my dad did from riding a bike like this. The sound, exceleration, vibration and its quirks.

[@IndustrialFaith]

I was in NC two weeks ago and saw the raffle bike in person. It's stunning. For that matter, the entire museum is stunning. Even if you're not a HD fan it's a must see just to witness (in person) how far motorcycles have come... and how far they've fallen. It's a beautiful thing. o7

[@chrisbinkley7938]

Love that y'all are raffling a beautiful HD. Wheels through Time follower for years...

[@jeffengland9913]

I attend 3 of the many rallies that are held in Maggi Valley and Cherokee every year. I hope you are always able to stay open. A must see for every biker.

[@themotorhino1331]

Can't wait to see the raffle live. I'll make sure to donate again while I'm there.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

People like flat heads in the old days because they would run very cool due to their low compression. They were also very easy to kick over with their low compression. They were very tolerant about running on garbage fuel. Flat heads for also cheaper to manufacture and easier to maintain. Tuned right they had great potential.

[@davidcrawford5711]

Well now , I know I should have collected ,These bikes over the years , Great Show !

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

Did I see Paul Tuttle in the background? 😁 ✌️ Beautiful Bike We've All Helped Build. Thanks Matt and Crew 🪶

Man oh man… I hope I win that bike… I love it … you done a awesome job restoring it too…

[@fearsomename4517]

It's priceless to me. I just wanna say to all you folks, it's not for sale when I win it.

[@waynekerr8003]

Very nice example. It's worth what someone is willing to pay.

[@valleynight8360]

Such a sweet ride. Man, I just bought 16 tickets and I'm getting a t-shirt. Cool

[@harjanmeijer905]

I'm always watching this from Aruba, but darn, I need to see this in real one day!

[@GorillaCookies]

I have to go to the website and purchase a small fortune worth of raffle tickets because not only is that 37 Knuckle the most beautiful Knuckle I have ever seen but the preservation of all that history and those machines is very important and definitely should be supported by any of us that can. Every dollar counts these days no matter what it's used for and every donation that helps such a worthwhile place remain open is money well spent no matter how small or big it is. I am definitely going to be making a trip out to the WTT museum in person asap. But until then I had better help make sure it's open when I can finally get to it. 😉

[@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871]

Mate whoever wins the bike is going to be over the moon! It looks and sounds beautiful.

[@roberthillman1]

I would love to go to this museum.

[@adamakins9748]

Awesome, got my tickets in person, love everything you do

[@tyler1671]

Matt I hope you have good documentation on this bike because I plan on coming down this summer and talking to you about it. I'm building the exact one as soon as I heard your idea on this. I ordered everything I needed to build the exact same one... I definitely want to do my paint just like you did

[@justingreen4450]

Ahh, you got that clock in your office. Good job. And you were spot on with your estimate of $120,000. I totally understand why you don't want to price stuff, but you're probably as good at it as anyone. Thanks for another great vid.

[@ogribiker8535]

He was spot on, 110,000 PLUS fees will be over 120,000 !

[@stephenwilliams926]

You have to love Harleys with their only one year parts. The jig and pattern makers would never run out of work.

[@willcacciola6065]

Sweet Ride sounds Like Gold and thank You Matt for You details and Work bless your Pop

[@lawrenceklein3524]

I had a 1947 EL. Took a while to round up many of the parts to restore it, in a time way before the internet.

[@RickarooCarew]

ok... quick appraisal from me.. 37 brand spanking new HD knuckle head.. = priceless.. truly one of the most beautiful machines in the World.. thanks for sharing brother keep the shiny side ^up^ ♾️✌️♾️

[@Pacsuper7]

Beautiful bilen. Runs as well or better than it looks! Job very well done!

[@whydahell3816]

I could live at the museum. It's historic motorcycles makes you feel you lived in the past. I'd like to have the junk shed bikes!

[@grisslebear]

The little details on your bike, like the hand painted graphics with gold & silver leaf, make yours that much better. If their's went 110k, I'd put yours at 125k+.

[@browngreen933]

The four Founders of Harley-Davidson knew they had a winner in the "61 OHV" EL Knucklehead. Just look at the famous photo of them gathered around the prototype machine. They look overwhelmed by it.

[@rustymacneil3227]

Love the colour with the black rims

[@ilovecarnitas]

This fellows beard and glasses 😎. amazing motorcycle. great to see it take shape and the start up

Don’t forget the 10% that the auction house puts on the bike after the sale so all in that bike is around 121k.

I grew up just a few miles from Maggie. I've dreamed of having a Knuckle Head since 1956 when my uncle gave me a ride on his. He told me to save my money and I could buy one for $140.00. That was like a million dollars to me then. I did eventually have Harleys but never a Knuckle Head. I'm an old man now but I still dream of getting bugs in my teeth.

It's real nice that you do build them and raffle them off. Each year I've always at least got a couple of tickets I don't know about this year money is a little different now for me but. I sure hope you make more than if you sold it through the raffle at Mecum good luck

[@johnnylightning1491]

I think there is actually a mistake on the raffle bike. The center section of the tank badge on the raffle bike does not have a black line at the end of it and the gold extends a little further than your bike. Both of them can't be right. I'm betting Harley put a black line at the end but I may be wrong. It will be interesting to know. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@michaelowen6579]

Beautiful, better than new.

[@theirishman8356]

Definitely a sweet ride.☘️

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

When Harley-Davidson came out with the knucklehead they sued Crocker. They had a Crocker and a knucklehead in the courtroom in front of the judge. The judge looked at the Crocker and then look at the Harley and then told Harley that they were lucky that Crocker wasn't suing them.

[@browngreen933]

Actually Harley-Davidson had a 21 OHV single-cylinder road model in the 1920s. Knucklehead was the first OHV road twin. In the teens several companies made road model OHV singles and twins: Royal Pioneer, PEM, Pope, Cyclone, Jefferson, etc. After that in the 1920s things regressed. The 1936 Knucklehead was a Renaissance in motorcycle technology.

[@garygullikson6349]

Are you sure you want to give yours away? I noticed the auction one had a fender light too. The same fender lights and fender tip gizmo were used on a range of Indians and Harleys until the 40's. Indian added the iconic war bonnet/Indian head fender light in 1940 , I think.

[@tombowman2154]

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

[@nitrousninja882]

What was the name of the builder that made the home-made bike using a car four cylinder engine? It was huge and Dale rode it on one episode of "What's In The Barn?". The builder was later killed in a shoot out with the cops. Dale bought a mini-bike type scooter also on this episode. I can't find anything on KZbin about the giant home-made bike.

[@carlosleandry12]

Hey where could I find more info on a 54 Harley tele-glide?

[@coinucopia]

So is the oil catch pan a factory original from 1937?

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

You can go to S&S and buy a brand new knucklehead Flathead Panhead Shovelhead Evolution motor, primary transmission. You can buy the frame you want the sheet metal you want the instruments you want have everything painted or powder coated before you put it together and for a third of the cost of the $121,000 motorcycle you could have your own built to your own specifications. The money men have placed too much value on everything because they don't want to have their money in dollars they want to have their money in something else so they pay ridiculous prices for Stuff. That's great if you're selling but it's bad if you're buying. It's a case of people paying silly money for something and then selling it to somebody else for even a higher price who sells it to somebody else for even a higher price. When I first started riding my little Honda in the early '70s I rode with Harley guys and all the road were old flat Edge Knuckleheads and panheads because they couldn't afford a new Harley. They were just used motorcycles not a top dollar collectible. Now they have all vanished from the roads.

[@cooper68ns]

Fantastic bike. Can canadians buy tickets on this bike?? Thanks

[@Hogger280]

The "Value" of antiques is Subjective i.e. it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it but there is no Intrinsic value.

[@ilikequiet6474]

Since this is a bike assembled from parts of many bikes do the frame and engine numbers match up? Does this bike come with a title or ?

[@kpnomad7]

Matt, will you be having an open house celebration on Nov 19 for the raffle ??? Thx

Amazing Knucle Head. I would love to win it.

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

This one really makes me wish I was standing in the Museum again...

[@Ronaldl2350]

Are the auction and raffle bikes numbers matching? That makes a difference with value. Do you have to pay taxes on that value of around 100,000? Nevertheless even if it is not numbers matching that rarity of a 37 is big money.

[@darceylawrence5440]

The only thing about the auction bike is it'll probably will never be run or ridden, it'll just sit on a floor and nothing likes to sit because that's where things won't work again unless it goes to someone that will run and ride it

[@freebird7284]

that actually seems like a bargain, if you count the trips and years gathering bits and pieces to make one.

How hard would it be to find, & what would it cost for the original front fender light...anyone? EDITED: I found one online & it was only a Grand.
