That was more exciting than Harley's 2021 model launch
Lol
The old one's are better than the new crap
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
New ones totally lack any soul.Most are just another black bike.
@@derekcollins1972 so true
This is the route Harley should go, back to the days of flat track and hill climb designs.
They just took a huge swing at flat track and got spanked 🥴 hope they come back
It's amazing how modern that sounds. And that throttle response is phenomenal!
"That sounds NASTY! I am in luv. Best sounding HD- ever.
I'll tell yuh, if HD's sounded like that, I would buy. Thinkin it would keep Harley solvent.
That's is how a Harley is supposed to sound. I had to to play it twice that's a hog!!!!!
Amen.
I grew up hill climbing in north Georgia and Tennessee. I watched my Dad top many hills on his Rickman Metisse with a 750 Triumph motor. The Harley's were formidable. The banter and rivalry back and forth was ferocious at times, but it was all for fun. I rode a 1974 Yamaha 80. I still have my trophy from the day I topped Red Mountain in Georgia. From that day on, I realized there was no challenge in life too big to tackle - except for maybe old age and 12 surgeries later - lol! This is a great bike - your museum is on my bucket list and we enjoy the excitement of the raffles. Who knows, maybe one day I'll win!
That's the sweetest sounding Flathead ever.
Back in the late '70's and early '80's lots of guys in Australia had 45's and 61's but you attained god status if you owned an 80 ci flat head.
Sounds torquey and I bet they did well because of that. If it revs too high might come out from under ya! I love hillclimbing! I've done it a few times never had a dedicated hillclimber tho.
What this channel shows is amazing. This man deserves his own tv show. I could watch him build bikes and talk classic motorcycles all day long and never get bored. Thank you for sharing with us.
In the 70s, I used to watch hillclimbs near Lancaster, PA. Frame stretched, cammed up, 45 cubic inch Harley flatheads running alcohol were the bike du jour. They struggled to get up the hill, though. One time someone showed up with a modified Honda CB750, and it was so powerful that its back wheel dug a trench all the way up the hill.
Gotta love a 750 Honda
Are you talking about the small hill on The Outlaws property(Hempfield Township, I think) or the sanctioned hill climbs near York? I went to both.
@@deplorabledave1048 I think it was the White Rose Motorcycle Club who ran it.
Absolutely awesome sound! I have to agree about the no oil during the run- that monster was raining into the drip pan placed under the crankcase!
“One of my favorite bikes in the museum”... said almost every bike in the museum!
Matt’s (and Dale’s) excitement is contagious. Dale’s impact will forever be felt and Matt is sure to carry on his dads legacy (who knew one person could store so much knowledge?)
I think that's the meanest sounding machine that I've seen in your vids in the last year that I've been subscribed to your channel! INCREDIBLE!!!!
Yeah. Most bikes sound is lost to the mike but not this one.
Man that thing sounds as good as anything on the road today.
After watching this incredible channel I definitely have a new appreciation for flat heads. Back when I was a kid in Chicago the police used the 45 flat head to give out parking tickets. I never really looked at a flat head any other way. Until now!
Fantastic to see all the super rare Harley’s.
Extra special to also hear them running so well.
Thanks for sharing again.
That sounds badass. I'm coming to see the place this july , cant wait.
that was awesome thank you nice hearing that motor
Always love stopping by the museum have a blessed week my friend.
Nice bike. If I'm ever going to the USA , I'm 100% visit your museum. Greeting from Austria :)
I've got nice memories of Mt. Garfield, attending events there as a kid in the 80's and 90's.
Another great classic motorcycle. The fact that Matt tells the story from memory is amazing. Dale taught him well!
Love the color scheme . Bet it's fast too. That sucker is a BEAST. You can tell it's high compression & high lift cams. With that type engine on a street bike, Holy Crap> setting off all the car alarms at 3 AM.
You can measure the compression ratio by pipetting the cylinder and measuring the stroke. Use a compression tester to check the compression. You're welcome.
Who the hell gives a thumbs down on one of these videos? I love all the bikes and history behind them!!!
The guy who got bucked over the bars before
That bike is SAVAGE. Nothing on it that you don't need to make it up the hill. The tiny little fibre rear brake kills me! It sounds so mean, and the throttle response is nuts; sounds like a modern engine! Thanks for showing us around, once more!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Just look at all those beautiful engines 🫢
Matt I love watching you and your dad talk and soak your knowledge up. I come from a Harley family. It’s in my blood. I’ve never experienced anything in this world that excites me, drives me, like my enthusiasm for these old machines do. I appreciate you guys
What a BEAUTIFUL sounding, looking motorcycle...Just an EXTREME historical motocycle...Love it, I Do...
Sounds amazing !!!!
Thanks Bro...flashback to my childhood and Pikes Peak. Great memories!
Wow that motor is amazing, they where some brave men that rode that brut
I just love the old flat trackers and hill climbers - That was awesome!
NEATO - thanks for starting that. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Woo what an amazing place hope someday I can come and visit the place from Australia 🇦🇺
Another Prime Time video from my favorite 🤩 channel. Many thanks Wheels Through Time!!!
Man can you imagine hearing that thing back in it’s prime! It sounds like a modern motorcycle! Amazing machine
One of the Harley dealerships where i live has a great little museum on the second floor that I always have to walk though when I go.
You are running it with oil in it . It has the Harley catch basin for dripping oil. I used to pick on a buddy who`s Harley always had drips of oil under it. Now that I have owned a Harley for years , I don`t see any dripping oil on the floor . Guys used to have a hill they raced on in my home town ,but, was made clear no one was to any longer because a person got hurt. Here in Ct. 2021 I am still riding this winter no snow . Cool ha ha
Matt: Has pan to catch oil/gas
Also matt: stands on pan and dumps everything in it out on the display
I am loving this series of videos. Seeing these bikes run is what WTT has always been about. When I walk through most museums, I often think that bike, car or airplane needs to be running! Keep up your work.
I defiantly plan to visit Wheels Through Time the next time I am staying at my cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia.
Can't wait until you guys open up to the public again. I live in North Carolina and want to come check out your wonderful place. Thanks for sharing a piece of early Harley Davidson history.
What a beautiful machine,that thing sounds better than mine. Lol got my shirt,hoodie, movie, and tickets for the drawing this year. One day I'll make it up there one of these days to check the museum.
If you haven't been to this museum you must make it a plan in your future. Incredible museum and the riding through the mountains is awesome
Man I love that Matt is carrying on with the WTT legacy through his own vids. Met him and his Dad for the first time in 2009 and got the VIP tour. Can still picture and hear the Big Valve Excelsior revving as well as watching Dale pull hole shots with the Vincent BS. One of a kind Museum experience. If you haven’t been, add it to your bucket list. ✌🏻
You know it's a monster when it dump's fuel like that. Love the factory HD board racer's and hill climber's.
I just absolutely love the looks of the heads on the motor.
She revs quick too, ❤ it!!!!!
Love this one. The sound, and the black smoke. Eat your lunch if you don't watch it.
Man I appreciate how much work you and your dad have done. I have to see this place one day
THAT is the meanest Harley I have ever herd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt....it is Johnny in Woodstock....i am so very sorry to hear about Dads passing. Lost my father 2003 and my Mom not too far after we did the episode together so I know what you are going through..... you and your family are in my prayers!
Hope to see you all again someday down in Maggie Valley!
That sounds amazing. I’m not a huge Harley fan but wow!!
Most non Harley fans say that.
What a bike! Fantastic sound.
I had an old Norton Atlas that I was affraid to kick back in the early 80's, before I learned the finer points of using a degree wheel and spark timing. Fun times for a teenager.
What a awesome sounding bike. Thanks for sharing this bike with us risking your leg just so we could hear it 😆 😅😅
Whatta beast of a engine..Great freakin channel..Thank Yous 👊😎✌
The exhaust note says I'm ready to run up the hill. The frame looks strong. The chains look like it could be used on ice too. Nice bike, thanks Matt.
Love the oil catch pan. You know its a real Harley when it marks its own spot.
Oh my gosh, it’s a death trap from starting to finish, I love it :D
Shell Tuett let me ride his 10 to one compression Indian 80 inch bobber in late 50's, 1/4turn throttle, he had to start it for me, I only weighed 120lbs, made it around the block at his Indian dealership in LA, rode home on my '48 Chief.
Some of the old Brit singles had a habit of breaking your ankle if your not careful too. Awesome machine. I so want to visit your museum
What a unique dynamic museum, not just static displays. It's on my bucket list now.
This Thing is a Friggin Beast!... GEEZ Thanks for Sharing
Love the custom oil pans in the display. If it ain’t bleeding ain’t live!!
Thing sounds amazing!!
it sounds great.we used to go to Anamosa and Dickeyville
I love the drip pans under the bikes
I trying to get my Shovelhead to spin up like that off an idle. Love that!!! A TRUE American ride from way back! Thanks!!
Lighten up the flywheel.
@@derekcollins1972 s&s guts already. Delkron case 4th side,stroked n bored 30 over. Just want it to idle like that purty 80"!
@@arenhoomen5502 lol.Man I don't think it can possibly idle like that now that you had all that work done.I bet it will sound good at a fast idle.
@@derekcollins1972,it does,and she screams! I wanna get the best out of her tho.. Thanks for the comeback! Ride safe,my friend.. 2 wheels down.
@@arenhoomen5502 Keep on keeping on bud.
I know you've been kicking old iron, on a regular basis, more than anyone other than Dale, but you got me feeling every off fire no bite... one more time... in SLIPPERS!? Well played sir.
I love the enthusiasm in your explanations. A true motorcyclist 👌🏽👌🏽
Ya real quick revs like today's crf450. I loved hearing as well as urself Matt love ur love n feel yall have for thease bikes. Today's bikes have no creator. I got first yr 82 fxr 5sps none kicked shovel 83 was the almost the same . most ppl dont know . ole bike rule
Love this channel, so informative!
Tus vídeos son auténtica historia de las motos... No pares de ilustrarnos... Gracias.!!!
Thank you VERY much!
Keep the American spirit High!
WOW, is love youre channel! greetings from germany.
Thanks again WOW factor you always have such an incredible presentation and knowledge greatly appreciated
I love that bike never heard flat head sound that good except for Dragracing flathead Ford when this virus is over we’re coming over about 80 miles away I’ve been there many times every time we go across the mountain if you guys are open we come there
You better get yourself a bucket. That little tray ain't going to catch everything coming out of that motor.
Wow it sounds so good. Sounds strong
Great job brother I could listen and watch your videos or posts all day the history and machines just great stuff.
Totally awesome bike love the videos I can hear the passion in his voice for these bikes along with unmeasurable knowledge please keep the videos coming thanks for your time and knowledge
Love this!....gotta make this into a street runner!
I was about to say look how responsive the throttle is and then Matt said it!!
I hate straight leggin it and hyperxtending the knee when kickin it through, or it has so much compression it almost throws you ...over the bars. Always great bikes and look forward to the posts. I was going to buy tickets for the giveaway, but the last one was won buy a guy in my state of Utah. Lightning like that? Well, I'll wait till next year. Thanks!🍻
I saw a guy get his leg bent the wrong way straight kicking a bike that had a history of kicking back, by the sound of his screaming I think it was kinda painful, lol.
Thanks
Sounds like a modern bike to me Sounds really good to me! Really surprising they could build that in 1935! U can tell it doesn't rev really high but it packs a punch!
Daaaaang. That sounded sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I learn something every video, thank you, sir
Loved it , awesome bad ass
bike ! I wanna ride it ! I'm an old hill climber from California.
I couldn't imagine hitting a steep hill full throttle with a wheelbase that short!
Wow thanks for that fantastic video
Impressive , what a beast
Awesome video, beautiful bike,
Great history lesson
I built something similar to that using the front end off a down hill mountain bike and a 18.3hp 30lbft 208cc machinery engine. sold it to a collector, tho I put 2000 miles on it first. sold it for $300 to get tires for the car.
Yep that’s totally what my dyna with the thunderheader sounds like. Hahaha.
Amazing sound. Strong. I think that sounds better than a k model sporty
Bikes ridden by the best of the very best yet not a single person can name 1 of them much less name Lee Petty who raced in the old Nascar.
By the way....that flathead is awesome!!!!!
Making me nervous dude. The oil leak pan being tipped by your boot. Sounds awesome though!
Before there was the Pontiac silverdome. There was a hill there called hill 90. You could probably tell by the name how steep it was. People used to take there whatever's up that hill from the stories iv been told
My favorite one so far
