The secret to surviving th kick back is to let your leg go COMPLETELY limp as soon as the kickers down all the way. I have an old 49 Panhead the the distributor is locked on full advance and she kicks like a demon on PCP whose having a bad trip! Every time she kicks me, the kicker tries to launch me to the mooning, but with my leg totally limp, my kne just slams into my shoulder violently. If I HADN'T figured that little secret out then I would have either been thrown over the bars LONG ago!
An old flathead like that used to have a “spark advance” on the left grip. Without advancing the spark, you would be launched over the handlebars 😳. I guess she’s using an electronic ignition for this sled.
Yeah, super expensive in Japan. Registration is based on engine capacity. I lived in Japan for 2 years. Hardly ever saw anyone riding big bikes: 1 litre bikes etc, because of crazy expensive registration. Mid size, naked style bikes were really popular. Also makes sense when the legal speed limit is 40 kilometres per hour on general roads and level crossings for trains are everywhere (often just a bamboo pole that lowers across the road combined with really annoying bell ringing). Roads with higher speed limits are often very expensive toll roads. So I guess that slow roads means that suicide shifts are not quite so dangerous. Anyway the Japanese are mad for most things American. I got to ride a few really mad Japanese bikes owned by some Bosuzoku guys I knew. Bosuzoku are like a kind of Japanese biker, not like MC's in Europe/America/Australia etc. Just like to ride around, at night especially, generally waking the neighbourhood and disturbing the peace. If and when the police show up they disappear real fast at the last moment. Small quick bikes were handy. They would strip off the fairings due to inevitable stacks resulting from escaping cops by riding through parks, gardens, sidewalks, whatever. Those dudes were hilarious. Do all kinds of stupid stuff: put their handlebars on upside down; really loud exhaust; throw firecrackers around, but like everywhere in Japan you're not going to get a punch in the face.
Half the time they pay a premium to get parts shipped out there. I have no idea how they do it lol if we pay a shit load for older parts they're paying double to triple.
It's a good thing she learned never straight leg a Kickstart you'll break your leg ankle or your foot if it's not quite in tune timing-wise. I'm old school but it has happened a lot in the past where when they kick start the Harley engine it would actually throw them over the top of the bike, maybe even breaking your knee or your leg or ankle or foot. Never straight leg a Harley-Davidson if you're trying to tune it. I'm just saying.
Can she even Ride this Bike at all? Doesn't seem Like she's big enough to touch those handlebars and the Seat at the same time. Still impressive how she manages to Kickstart this absolute monster
@@marcusstella6656 sorry not a WL. Look at the kicker cover is for a big motor. All the WLs had a finned cam cover but a most ULs had a smooth one. I hope this helps. BTW I ride a 52 WLA
Military surplus bike from the 50s and 60s. The WLA flathead. You could get one for a hundred bucks back then. A bikers favorite. Original Springer front forks. Original frame. This bike had big fenders as well. And a bigger gas tank.
A woman w/ a flathead...I'm in love w/ both...damn!!! that is the best sound I've heard in yrs!!!!! She has it down pat!! You go girl...you got 1 crusty old ex-biker on your side!!!
Even So do you know how to kick start a harley? it dosent take strength there is a specific way to start it, its actually easier to kick start that most bikes if you do the right steps@@shootinnscootin5545
That's not a kick start, that's a stomp start lol. Great bike though, i love my Honda Rebel 500 but i'd love to ride a bike like that someday. The high handlebars look fun.
Every guy assumes this because heaven forbid, a girl's got keys to a badass ride of her own and actually knows how to handle it.~smh~ I don't know if the bike belongs to her or not. All I know is that I'm a well-seasoned biker chick of roughly the same size and build. I've had three different motorcycles since getting my license 16 years ago, and they've all seen several thousands of miles of road year after year.
She knew how far to crank the motor over to just the right point before she kicked it. This is no easy to teach anyone. I’m pretty sure she’s done it before☺️
@@claysmith782 shut up , cause you experience don’t mean you won’t fly over the handle bars Bcs of your weight, I can see she does know what she’s doing but shit happens
Thank heaven when it does start...you don't want to be on a time line when using one for real transportation.I've got an electric start on all mine now.
That's a 45 c.i.Flat head. I had one myself. Low compression work horse. Common police bike back in the day. Hat's off to the woman - that's a real classic!

I know , for those of us who own and ride classic Harleys we know she did great. I always prime kick my 1200 flh then find tdc and voila. Must be tuned good though which that flatty is. Worst us when the kicker skips and it hurts your knee.
Watching this terrifies me. My crf450 has ruined my confidence in kickstarting bikes so I can only imagine how hard this one would hurt if it kicked back.
@@nativej1986 lol. It's still easy to start. I can start it by hand . Won't even kick it. I start a Honda CB750 FOUR SOHC by hand just to show off all the time. Grab the kick and just shove it down. Flathead . I never owned one yet. I have pans, shovels, ironheads, one evo and a twin cam. Couple of Hondas. Couple of yamaha. And a old triumph. All of them are choppers except my dyna and my fxr. Choppers are just more fun. Kick starting gives ya a connection to your machine. Pushing a start button. Anyone can push a button. Tell ya what though, I know a woman has a yamaha single cylinder. 500 CC I think. Kick only. That thing will break your leg!
I don't know how you guys are doing it that easy I know of guys in the past who got their knee broke if that thing kicks back your knees going over your head
She touched her face in relief at the end.. Because she didn’t get kicked back.. It’s a nerve wracking experience.. even for the big boys! She is a true champ!❤
Boy does this bring me back to when I had a '60 Panhead in a '57 ridgid frame. Except I didn't need to jump... I'd stand next to it, push it thru! Beautiful bike, looks like a Flathead?
you mean the harley kickstarted the woman😂👌
You mean that woman can't drive the bike because her arms can not reach the controls
@@breakingames7772 and could barely kickstart it, thankfully it was perfectly tuned, durable looking riding boots,heheh
No I meant I love Suzuki 🥰
Yes 👍
@@edwardmulder3777 no she actually did it perfect she was finding top dead center before kickstarting ot like she should have
If that kicked back she would be sent flying 😂
She compressed the engine and got it to TDC so no way it would happen. Hvae you even kickstarted before?

Right that’s what I was thinking 😂 when I seen her straight leg.
I worked in Yokohama for 2 years. It's amazing how many vintage Harley Davidson are floating around over there.
Like if 2-3 generations of us marines stood there from 1945 to now ? Maybe 🤔 I don’t really know.
Amazing how mouch people have big money there!! Old Harleys are expensive everywhere, specially in japan you must pay luxury tax..

The harley scene in asia is insane, some of the best vintage bikes ive ever seen
I heard that them, and also Germany do a lot of importing of old Harleys.
Perfect
she even looked for top of compression stroke
O my god ! It’s like open heart surgery! Hahahahahha
Nice flathead
@@highonfire885 you would be surprised how many people dont know how to kickstart
Guess it's not a warm blooded bike
Nothing like the sound of a Harley rolling through the night...
Im going to respectfully disagree and have to say a v4 screaming past at 9000rpm sounds a lot better.
Yamaha RD350 or Kawasaki H2 750...
That's one high compression flathead. Love it. thankds
She barely got enough mass to do it.
Kinda cute
Pretty smile from what i could see lol
also this is a low compression side valve
I was thinking those bars look like a pretty good stretch for her too.

She's so delicate and still rock n roll with this bike loved it 🤘🏼🖤 and what a bike!
A newborn baby is delicate these grown ass women aint
She rocked that shit like a pro. I would kill to own one of these og kick start harleys. Absolutely beautiful.
Good job girl, I know a bunch of girls that would have never got it started, good job! ✌️
She has a badass flathead, and it has to be tuned very well.
This bike is trash
Beautiful old school bike
Classic
Kinda looks like a flathead 80 cubic inches love to see these girls riding their own bikes awesome 😎
She's like : the thingy that makes noise...
That bike was riding around the world long before she was even thought of
🤓
Long before her mother was thought of too.
At least shes got a real bike not some plastic one
@@burtzum4253 never said it was a bad
Girls doing better then me respect im on a 125cc Suzuki marauder 2003. Can't wait for my first Harley Davidson

Nice job well done. Good looking ride. I run a flattie for 21 years and I now have shovel chop. Ride free.

Flathead Harleys are one of the easiest to start. Compression ratio literally 4.75:1.
