Beautiful Harley the sound alone is worth 20k. I've got my 57 FLH panhead on road this year took 5 years of work, sat over 40 years in my dad's building, done all the work myself and love it.
Wow, that nostalgic look. What a cool looking older bike you look like a member The Vandals. All you need is your cut on over your other leather jacket. Appreciate you showing us these older Harleys, as they seem to be more interesting than the newer ones.
I'll tell you what Mr. Kaplan i really enjoy your historical explanations of every bike you show it's a great learning experience God willing i might purchase one of those beautiful bikes from you in the future. Thanks again Brother!👍
Gorgeous bike!! Love old school!! The grandaddy of the cruiser Harley's 🇺🇸🤘🏻💯!! Great video Ken!! Keep up the great work that you do and God Bless America 🇺🇸 💯🤘🏻
Beautiful my old man would love one has a 100 anniversary soft tail. He loves his Harley’s more than Dirtbikes nowadays 😂 Don’t blame him. You get addicted to the asphalt like dirt. Ride on!
This bike makes my heart ache. Please keep it in America. I'm sick of seeing so many original condition Harleys end up "overseas". (Begins with a "J".)
The only bike I've ever wanted the 1959 pan best vintage it's got that gigantic Springer seat that's so comfortable my buddies father had one it was awesome it is the best bike to ride it is like a dream my buddies father let me ride his
Kaplan, Got your ears on? How in hell did you get this thing ? And don't answer the question we are not worthy to know...This bike is the sacred Harley you speak softly of and carry a big stick for those who disagree..everything you are telling the viewers is accurate as #1 museum curator and great guru of motorcycle history... This capture proves beyond any doubt you're a true gangster and master of the trade.. you are bring before us your passion plus dedication over and above the call of duty !!! Kaplan America you never cease to amaze us Congratulations mission accomplished
@@KaplanCycles that engine is a 2nd generation pan that the bottom end was as modern as an Evo and just as tough as the early shovel heads with a generator.. simply cause they were the same bottom end as the early shovel ...

It's a long story back in 85 I work for Jack Pittman who ran a restoration shop called the shop.. it was Keith Smith one of his old customers who had deep pockets and wanted us to build this evo killer ... It was CCI custom chrome Incorporated motorcycle accessories first big bore stroker kit and Jack decided to use it and his old kingpin friend Keith Smith as a guinea pig.. so I could not wait is this new kit was also dynamically balanced as a matched set ready for the RPM test... Smith took the engine out of the frame himself ... We build it up and give it back.... Few days later Smith comes back in the shop... Give Jack a big lecture like he's giving a eulogy on his bike .. Jack says you mean your damn engine is locked up... He says no no no no no no.. I just haven't got enough lead in my ass to turn it over..

How's it going, man? Thank you for liking my comment about my Honda. T r x 2008 got see is one of your close rarest quads She had some low irs, but I've been riding the c*** out of it. I love that d*** thing she rides awesome. She's a super snappy a TV. You have to go check it out. My youtube channel man, you'll see some videos of it
She is crazy snappy, but she's got all that all rear suspension. Dude, let's get IRS rear suspension. Just super cool quad. You gotta have to go check it out. It's been sitting in the guy's garage for about a good while and the first owner left it. Sit in the garage now. I'm with the third order of the Quad.
I dunno Ken. Maybe thats a "forever bike" It looks like it was made just for you!
Beautiful Harley the sound alone is worth 20k. I've got my 57 FLH panhead on road this year took 5 years of work, sat over 40 years in my dad's building, done all the work myself and love it.
Nice work!
I absolutely love your videos. So informative, with such passion. Gets me fired up for everything you share. Keep on keepin on. God Bless America!
Thank you! Will do!

Another stunner from that guy's collection. Wow. Wow.
Awesome bike🇺🇸hopefully it stays
Me too!
The Panhead was the most beutiful engine ever put in a motorcycle ❤ 😊
Right behind the knucklehead.
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful bike Ken! Tkx for sharing!
Beautiful panhead!
I think so too!
Another magnificent machine from way back then, if it was possible to go back in time and test ride each one!!
thank you so much MR Kaplan
You are most welcome
So Beautiful, everyone needs one ❤️
You look like the freaking terminator on that bike Ken⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸💪🏻
Thank you with this one it was love at first sight
Gorgeous bike!! Love old school!! The grandaddy of the cruiser Harley's 🇺🇸🤘🏻💯!! Great video Ken!! Keep up the great work that you do and God Bless America 🇺🇸 💯🤘🏻
🐝🏁 this bike need me Ken
She's an absolute diamond
What a dime piece. Those wool garment factory buildings don’t look to bad either. Talk about dimes!
That's my dream bike , beautiful !!!
As a 31 year old I think I’d rather have this than my 2018 Lowrider. Looks more enjoyably for road trips. I’ve never ridden an old bike
Your not wrong. And if u had a break down it would probably take the same amount of time to repair. Some people maysay otherwise, dont beleive them.
Damn that bike is so beautiful.
What year for the dual glide did they have the gearshift lever on the tank in the clutch was a pedal on the left side.
Beautiful my old man would love one has a 100 anniversary soft tail. He loves his Harley’s more than Dirtbikes nowadays 😂 Don’t blame him. You get addicted to the asphalt like dirt. Ride on!
Good thing you got those bikes now. Pretty soon you wont be able to drive your semi to California !!!
Not much I want to see there I prefer the East Coast
Absolutely amazing
This bike makes my heart ache. Please keep it in America. I'm sick of seeing so many original condition Harleys end up "overseas". (Begins with a "J".)
Money talks bud… no matter what country you live in.🇺🇸
What a cruiser!

Stunning IRON HORSE 🐎 🇬🇧🙏🇺🇸💯😎👍
Absolutely beautiful
This is epic... PERFECT
Rightous 59!
I love my 59 pan.
What determines when you sell a bike, or keep it for the museum? Seems like that’s one that you’d want to keep it.
Nevermind, I guess I should have waited to watch the whole video.
Wow!
👌💪🏼🇺🇸🔥hope your leg is feeling at least little better brother ok later
Exquisite
Treat yourself man you deserve it!
Why wear a helmet if you don’t want to
Please wear a helmet 🪖
@robertcraft-pj2jp or not. Liberty has a dignity all it's own.
No helmet law in Connecticut
@@KaplanCycles liberty lives everywhere. John Locke.
why wear a seatbelt if you dont have to
