LIVE First Fire of a RARE 1929 Harley-Davidson Racer

[@zedhead2864]

I've said it before. I LOVE this channel! Thanks for what you guys do, and bring to us!

[@acr21957]

Matt’s knowledge of these old bikes always has me shaking my head in disbelief and now i see he knows about the colors Harley used. Amazing 😮 as always

[@alanhardy3374]

Where do you guys find these old scooters ?

[@alanhardy3374]

And the par

[@alanhardy3374]

And the parts ?

[@glennbattersby7447]

I love the fact that every time Matt starts one of these classic bikes up you would think it was the first time, he had experienced it. Pure joy!

[@PLRMoto]

Got to say it, wheels through time has some of the most incredible historic Harley’s on the planet! You guys have knocked another one out the park! Beautiful colour combination as well. 💙

[@fearsomename4517]

She's alive! Matt I never questioned your first-start on any motorcycle. Beautiful machine!

[@chashouse8511]

What a beautiful bike build! Love the colour combination. Hope you film it on a run, that would be more than cool!! Also to see again how excited Matt gets when these bikes fires up never gets old!!!!

[@thumpershd]

I'm smiling with you guys. Great to see this vintage beauty brought to life again!

[@garyseaton4619]

Matt, you make me experience the absolute joy you feel every time you start one of these amazing classic machines. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you do so well...

[@Ian-bq7gp]

I love this channel too and its great hearing you experts talking about these beautiful old and rare american bikes. Your restorations are so original and as good and accurate as possible. Its so good the museum is there for your father was an amazing bike enthusiast and keeping his dream going is the biggest compliment and it just doesnt get better than this. I love it, thank you so much for enabling us foreigners to experience the excitement of seeing you talk about them and even better, work on and ride them. A huge thank you also to the older generation for donating their beautiful machines.

[@klogotis]

State of euphoria, feeding off the excitement of watching a vintage bike come back to life! LOVE IT!!

[@bryn3991]

3 Kicks to begin and 4 kicks to start, Love it !

[@bryonkidder6199]

Beautiful bike! Thanks for keeping our history alive!

[@speckledjim_]

You guys built this 2 years ago.....and resisted the temptation to start it up for all that time? Wow that's dedication :) 👍

[@lugnuts7800]

Anyone who doubts that the first starts are exactly that, don't understand the integrity of good honest people. There are plenty of questionable characters in the world. I will always stand with and defend good, honest, God fearing people. Especially if they love Harley Davidsons and classic iron. Much love and respect to you all at the shop. I'm a car painter by trade, and I'd move across the country and paint for you for free. I love and believe in what you do. Thank you for being true to the heritage that brings and binds us together. God bless you all.

[@dallas7346]

Wow, another beautiful restoration! That bike is so cool looking.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Wow, amazing awesome machine...I love the older Harleys you guys keep alive for sure!

[@BeardedNinja72]

What's "ultra rare" is to find a dude as genuine and just awsome to even listen to as Matt. He has forgot more about these old bikes than most of us could even dream of learning. Top notch museum run by top notch people. Another great video 💯

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Love the raw start up getting to see the burn off and just a little more tinkering left. Great job guys.

[@T10elC]

Beautiful bike. I love the color scheme.

[@johnchambers427]

Great job on restoring that bike matt.

[@lanceskoog949]

Super cool. I'm glad to see you're saving all these pieces of history. I definitely want to come see your museum one day! Videos are always informative and entertaining.

[@kenward3058]

Once again can feel your smiles in AUSTRALIA each time you fire up a new build priceless GOOD HEALTH

[@patrickcaudill2939]

Another gorgeous Harley! Keep them coming

[@danielseymour6726]

Nothing like the smells and sounds of a fresh start. Would love to be there for one of these. Looking forward to seeing y'all soon.

[@danothemano1]

Love the exposed rockers on these old bikes. Works of art

[@matthewrinehart2367]

Defiantly one of my top ten favorites of your builds. The blue and green really pop too.

[@infoanalysistconspiracyrealist]

Love this channel, pity we don't have many cool old rides like this here in Australia. Keep up the awesome job you folk do.

[@mikaldene7146]

Hell Yeah. I love that little road racer. You guys are living the dream. I'm going to come down there this year and check out the museum Matt. Get my tickets for the giveaway bike. Maybe I'll get to ride that knuckle home this year. If not this year's bike, next year's for sure...later

[@steveb.6267]

One word describes this channel : amazing. Don’t ever stop.

[@sixwingsram]

Such a beautiful rebuild. Wow perfect lines! Great job🎉🎉🎉

[@jbradkilpatrick]

Awesome bike and great video. I’d love to tour the restoration shop.

[@gregfleck4140]

Thanks brother for another beautiful sight/sound gift.

[@robcates2383]

It is so exciting to see a new build startup, you know Matt, it would be cool you and a cameraman, to go around the shop! We don't get to see that going threw the museum!! Love your videos,!!!!!

[@johndodson4527]

That first start up will always be a blast!

[@murphyr31]

These pre war Harley’s just have the look that excites me.

[@dennisoneil3325]

I can't wait to see it running down the road in a future video. Keep up the great work!

[@gregkistner1955]

He is a rolling history book on the old motorcycles truly amazing!

[@donavonbaker5172]

Matt 👍 dale is watching from above ❤ you are careing for his museum

[@BrianRLange]

My uncle's first bike was a '29 JD. The JD is one of my favorite models of vintage Harleys because of that. Sweet bike!!

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thanks for the support! Hopefully, we get to see you here one day.

[@davidknows3320]

Your enthusiasm is absolutely the draw to these videos for me. I love the bikes, but the fact that you can barely contain yourself, makes it fun to watch along.

[@davidwood1923]

This One's a Friggin Work of Art!... Thanks for Sharing. Keep Up the Great Work... Brother.

[@michael61985]

Nice bike and like the realism that things can loosen up after a break in run

[@tbone845]

Gourgess,smooth looking good.wow. awesome racer ❤️👍

[@victorchance1510]

Really nice build. Looks really tough . 👍

[@justinkeller9187]

Your bikes are so amazing! As a dirt poor mechanic, I'm building a 71 ironhead to look like a thirties bike. Rigid with an aftermarket leaf springer. My only hope for a real beauty is saving for a ticket for your giveaway. Thanks for posting this

[@fabieneldridge3414]

Wow, I love it. It is so cool that frame has it standing tall. It’s got the right everything except Color ! I don’t like the those colors together. I’d love to ride that, bet it will carry the groceries ! Sounds great that exhaust fits it. You two did a great job, except being color blind. 🏍👍🇺🇸

[@robertprice7246]

Oh My Goodness what a beautiful sound !

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Beautiful bike, great job as always.

[@gerrypowell2748]

Luv your knowledge and passion❤️❤️❤️

[@jm9782]

Great job on the paint choice!!

[@garyseaton4619]

It sounds as amazing as it looks... So very cool...

[@chriscraft4236]

Awesome! I’ll be traveling to your museum this summer going to drop 250 maybe 500 on your 1937 raffle bike I’m feeling lucky 🍀

[@ArtistisMe]

The UK has certainly got dirt racing tracks for as long as I can remember. Going regularly to watch at Exeter Speedway Track back in the 60's. No idea about the rest of Europe, but we do.

[@wd4477]

Simply amazing. Love the videos and I love this channel. You are a legend Matt

[@timrowell94]

matt, you have the best job in the world.

[@nilseckerbom6826]

Very nice Harley, god work has been done on this. Best channel look at 😛😊

[@nbholifield]

amazing machine and beautiful build sir!!!

[@tetlow2]

That is an amazing shop you have

[@JR-bj3uf]

My old boss was a Harley mechanic from way back. He always refereed to bikes as 61s, 74s or 80s.

[@__Just__Adam__]

Best color combo I’ve seen

[@mattcrowley3075]

Cool colors on a cool bike!

[@markhazelgrove6915]

Very cool machine sir, colours work well too.

[@eroseberry74]

I need that bike. Another beautiful bike.

[@seather863]

Another amazing motorcycle! Sounds great.

[@johnevans1972]

The color scheme is eye ball catching besides the out of the ball park build

[@Simon-hf3lw]

Great job guys 👍

[@justingreen4450]

Sounds similar to the 29 DAR. Love it.

[@BenButler1]

Those colors are amazing

[@michaelakers8698]

Four kicks and she's alive good job!!

[@atcjoe1600]

I always turn my big speakers on so I can pretend I’m there ! As always, great video.

[@trickydickytheonlysonofkungfoo]

My grandfather had a 1926 JD back in the day he was so cool 😎

[@MrBadgas]

Great stuff guys!

[@blowndown9634]

Awesome color combination

[@subterfusion4005]

Coolest bike yet for sure

[@johnvargo5538]

Hey fellas , you should do a video of you riding this bike Matt ! It’s such an amazing motorcycle , i think it would be interesting to see it in action !

[@frankfurther3828]

I used Caswell in my SC tank. Ordered gray, received clear. Fill and road test soon.

[@scottarmstrong1172]

OMG, what a bike! Can you imagine owning that back in the day? You'd be the shit for sure!

[@jefflundquist5771]

Congrats!

[@keithspillman]

Love all these first starts. Just curious......So there's no first start break-in on a bike engine like you have on a car engine? On the car engines I build I usually run a steady 2000-2500rpm or so to break in the cam and try not to let it idle for the first 15 minutes or so. None of this needed on a bike engine?

[@NBSV1]

Part of the reason for the 2000-2500rpm on a car engine is because much of the oil for the cam is from oil slinging off the crank and oil draining from the head. So, you need some rpm to make sure everything is well oiled. Old bikes like this don’t really circulate oil like more modern stuff and rely on only a few ounces of oil in the bottom end. So, holding a higher rpm isn’t needed to keep things lubes. And, they’re normally using parts that are used so may not need as much break in.

[@caleb6988]

I'd love to see it going down the road again.

[@CalleStaaf]

I have a fully restored 1929 BSA, it's all original and has the same look as it did from the factory 😁

[@digger8180]

Fantastic bike, love it, colours work perfectly together. Is it for sale?

[@larrypeplinski593]

Matt, just like his dad, are moto gods to me.
