Your enthusiasm is awesome.. My father has passed away now he was 94 born in 26 . He was a Harley mechanic here in Melbourne Australia. The police rode them here in the 50’s . The cops used to hide their bikes in dads workshop while they went to the bar for lunch . They’d borrow a jacket to put over there uniform. Dad had Indian’s and one British Velocette 500 single which he raced flat grass track on . I wish I found your channel while he was alive. I know he would have watch every moment of your videos and loved it like I do . Thanks Matt 🙏🏻

Visited Maggie Valley many times, since 1991 on a regular. Almost always stayed at the Meadowlark. Love sitting on the back deck of the cabin and watch the Harleys roll into your establishment and listen to the creek. I had went to a church service at the covered shed out back that was hosted by a preacher and his congregation from Georgia. They rode their Harleys up and I thought that was awesome! I had just came back from the meeting and changed to meet my mom by the pool when all the sudden there was a horrendous accident nearly right in front of us! I jumped up to run across the street in the parking lot of JB's? steak house, where most of the accident ended up at. It was a white van and a compact car that had collided! My mom grabbed my arm and asked me where I was going. I told her to go help.(not that I could have done anything but hold someones hand til help did get there).She said the best thing I could do is start praying. I did. I later found out everyone made it. Thank God. I think that was the summer of 2012. So happy you started this youtube channel. I love your museum. One of the men who worked there walked around with my husband and I a few years ago and was so kind to share his knowledge. My favorite is the motorcycle, one of a kind, hidden in a secret wall in a home in Germany that was put there during WWII! Such a wonderful story and a huge part of history that thanks to your museum, will live on! Have an awesomely blessed weekend! Thanks for sharing!

The Harley Davidson Dealer in Rahway NJ. Had purchased some WW2 45’s in wooden crates,that they sold for $200.00. I purchased one and used it as a dirt bike for many years. The motorcycle had to be assembled. The engine and transmission were the only things that didn’t need to be assembled. I had to lace the rims to the hubs. The directions that came with the motorcycle were not very good. It came with a tool kit for assembly. This motorcycle was my most favorite childhood memory. I was 13 years old when my dad allowed me to draw the $200.00 from my savings account. I had over $1,000.00 in my account from mowing lawns,Trapping Muskrats,delivering newspapers and collecting the money for the newspapers. At 17 years old.I traded the 45 for a 1965 Chevrolet Corsair Monza. The Corvair was a great vehicle. The only problem is the engine wore out spark plugs within 2,000 miles. The engine would still run but the performance would drastically drop off. I put Michelin Radial Tires on the Monza. I don’t know where the Corvair got this reputation for flipping over. Where I lived, there are what is called the S-Curves at 25 MPH. My 1965 Monza with the Michelin Radials easily negotiated the S-Curves at 60 MPH.

Even if it's a tired old gal, the story it can tell through it's dirt, scrapes, and dents makes it so much more gorgeous than it already is. If I could, this bike might be the way I'd drive an old Harley 45.

Right! And what they really mean is, “I neglected to maintain anything on it except the dinosaur oil changes every 10k miles and when everything was completely unusable and it was running as far from how it ran when I bought it and the shop quoted me $10k to fix everything I was too cheap and lazy take care of, I parked it and left the tank and carbs full of E85 high ethanol without adding any of that gimmicky fuel stabilizer. Oh, and it never came near a battery maintainer.”

He tapped me on the shoulder and said "Allen"? Blew me away🤯 saw him there several times. I'm a 76 year young biker. 1966 I bought my first Harley, a full dress 1952K model, got it off a old farmer who bought it new and it never left the farm. Next I got 1947 knuckle, totally original, running. I paid 350$ for it!! Owned many others over the years. You are a tribute to your Dad. RIP Dale

Man this is so cool! I was never really into bikes again until I bought my son a 110cc pit bike. I've already put a new engine in it, new exhaust, new fuel tank, new seat and plastics, new tires, all new electronics, everything but the frame and it runs great now. It could definitely use some more power, but it's fun for a small bike and is fairly capable offroad. When I was younger I owned a 2001 Harley Sportster 1200 with a bored engine and about $5,000 into it. It wouldn't hesitate to pull a wheelie. I also had a 2000 Honda CBR1000 that would scare the absolute hell out of me at full throttle. When I was 18 I rode my buddy's Ninja ZX-12R down I-4 from Tampa to Clearwater Beach and I had it up to 185 MPH and I watched a guy on another crotch rocket get killed right in front of me that night on the same stretch of interstate. It was enough to scare me off of fast bikes...I rode his bike back at either the speed limit or slightly below and I was shaking the entire time. I tried to make baby steps with my Harley, but it took a while for me to get comfortable again. I never took it over 120 MPH...

I’m truly sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. He was incredible when I watched American restoration and I watched him on the show. He was amazing and such an incredibly knowledgeable guy. I was a huge fan. I’ve always wanted to meet him but you know life happens, ironically enough, my dad passed away just a month after your father passed away. He also died from cancer pancreatic. I’m glad to see you keep things going at wheels through time.

Thanx for explaining stuff like seeing the '5' on the head and the pinky space, regarding the compression type. And lots of other stuff - I learned a lot. You guys are great and funny too.

I don't care if it is a car, bike, plane, boat, tank- whatever- something about hearing an engine roar back to life from the grave. How do you explain that joyous feeling to a non- believer? It is just magical! And here we are talking Harley history! Love you channel!

Love the old iron and how simple these motors are in comparison to the present ones you wont get a new one running after it has been sitting some 50 years or so ! These videos are so informative and entertaining keep em coming guys! 😅 I can relate to what you are up to resurrecting these bikes as i spent a lot of time pulling old hit and miss engines out of farm dumps and getting them freed up and running ! There is nothing that compares to the feeling of that first pop! And puff of smoke ! Cudos to you for carrying on a rare profession! And keeping those old relics in their working clothes!

I love watching you Matt. Really make me want to look at my friend.Look for a basket. We are just blown away.That you walk into part of the museum and start pulling out bowels and stuff. Then we all missed your father. But you Have taken up the museum and in my opinion. Which doesn't count for anything. You are doing a awesome job. Can't express how happy and how pleased we are! Keep it up. And we will try to keep up with you.

Man, what a cool video and cool old bike. Just the size and stance of that old bike makes anyone riding it look cool that newer Harleys can't replicate.
