Incredible Matt. 84 degrees, overcast, put the bikes up and closed up shop. The symphony from those cams, truly made the day. Thank you. PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILIES IN BOONE, who were struck with tragedy today. GOD BLESS all who lost their loved ones. T.S. RACING 🙏🙏
Dang , I'm getting excited listening to all that went into the build , and you're the one riding it... But to me it's always exciting to see the older machines get.a new lease on life. Excellent ...
Those heads do add more power, and they move the "hot spot" combustion point away from the edge of the bore where BTSV's aways get hot and score the bores and erode the pistons. I've been real happy with mine.
I would like to know who he has making these pistons if it's someone he knows or somebody like Wiseco who can make a piston for anything if they have the specs or a old piston to go by including custom pistons .
I remember your father when he was at the Lee Hartung barn. I worked across the street at Signode Steel where I serve my apprenticeship is a tool maker I was there 17 years. My father also worked or he told me once that the barn across the street guys had a Lotta old cars in there. I wish I would’ve known that you could go view him. My buddy they grew up down the street we live real close to that area his dad newly he would vist Lee on Saturdays. His dad was a mechanic for peoples gas company and he always had these old car seat buying a junkyard give them my paint brush paint job and get them running for 35 bucks. That was the first time I was introduced to your father on TH-cam watching that series he’s quite the guy. I myself retired at 64 and took Harley Davidson class bought a sportster 883 iron got my license and I put on 6900 miles since then not leaving the area.
Has the museum ever considered obtaining a Sokol ? True it is not American made but it had many of the features of both Indian and Harley Davidson. It also had some cool innovations that Indian and Harley Davidson did not have. It was manufactured in Warsaw Poland in the 1930s, and considered by some to be the best motorcycle of that time. It would make an interesting addition.
Saw this at the door on the way in yesterday! Really caught my eye because you can tell it’s different. Awesome to be able to meet Matt and talk a little while I was there. It’s been a couple years and the new additions were great to see! Will be back.
I'm guessing that upturned exhaust was originally intended for TT and Enduro bikes for making water crossings and not as a custom fashion statement that most everyone today assumes.
That looks a bike you could become one with. I see a lot of people who think it's only about displcament and horsepower and anything else is just inferior.
Matt, was there any correlation/collaboration in thoughts/engineering etc. between Ford and Harley when Harley started making their Flathead in 1929 and when Ford started making their Flathead in 1932? Or was it all just coincidence in naming?
I was wondering if you guys had a z90 like the one in Bad News Bears. Do you consider it a real Harley-Davison. I would like to know more about it and how rare it is. Thank you in advance for any information you might have.
Thank you all for tuning in!

Loved that place when I visited with my sister and brother in law a couple of years back . Hope to again one day! 😎👍🇺🇸
That is a badass we will make it to the museum sometime soon we're only a couple hundred miles away😎👍🏾👍🏾
One day I'll get there
God bless you for carrying on , keep going can't wait to check it out this summer 👍
That is the most bad ass motorcycle, Good job Matt

Super Cool Scooter! 👍🏻💯🇺🇸
gorgeus! Much love from Austria
I'm drooling!
Beautiful bike Matt!!
Matt I'm in love!
my cat loves you too 😺♥️♥️♥️
I think he's married
Nick didnt grind the cams, I did. I also did the cylinders, and IIRC the open bearing race conversion. Pistons are Corvair. -Joe
Very, very cool!
Can we get a more in-depth explanation and maybe visual on the offset Pistons I would really love to hear more of your knowledge on it
I would like to know who he has making these pistons if it's someone he knows or somebody like Wiseco who can make a piston for anything if they have the specs or a old piston to go by including custom pistons .
I know it's possible a crazy idea. But ever think of building a Wall of death.
Love your work. May it live on for ever
Sweeeet! Have fun!

Thanks, I love a parts-bin bike: the ultimate in re-use and recycling.
Outstanding
Sweet Thanks for sharing !
Great bike. Loving this series!
Awesome
Perfection.
This is the kinda bike I live for
Thanks Matt 👍
Looks like a fun to ride motor cycle, enjoy it.

Is that a skull shifter knob? The custom taillight is modern. The original ones had a domed red lens, not cylindrical.
I know NICK in Williamstown New Jersey same guy right? I’m sure it is he is a wizard pretty cool hearing you mention him
learn something new every show, cool
Dream bike.
great bike
wow, first i've ever heard about that wrist pin mod'; WTTM is an education.
Dale, Matt's picked up the baton, rest easy we're in safe hands.
Wonder if you might ever compare a Cushman Scooter engine on a bench next to an HD engine?
Wow, that's 1 sweet flathead
Thanks
I wonder how much all those bike parts cost? Sweet bike, love the salty patina.
Very nice
Cool i can definitely tell your day influenced you
Awesome job Matt! Looks like it could of came from the dealer that way.😊

hi Matt and crew
You sure have built the quintessential definition of a bobber a prime pure example
Another great hot Harley
How can every time I see this awesome machines some can have rust parts all but the engine do they a like special coating ?
looks lovely mate
Geez, sounds more like a Sportster than a big flattie, not bad, not bad at all!
Matt, was there any correlation/collaboration in thoughts/engineering etc. between Ford and Harley when Harley started making their Flathead in 1929 and when Ford started making their Flathead in 1932? Or was it all just coincidence in naming?
That's my bike, it's in my dreams
so that's what a flathead 80 sounds like...neat
Now that’s a motorcycle
Ride hard and free.

You never mentioned the 'Scull Shifter'...
So Matt, this is the bike you're gonna enter in the Jack Pine Enduro?
No trash can lid symphony!
I like it! Sounds like she's got a little snot.
Now paint to keep up with engine appearance
How much money do these builds cost LOL I feel like they gotta be high high dollar
That hydraulic front end looks waaaay outa place on that thing.
Still a nice bike tho.
everything is period correct, only his sunglasses are not. besides that your videos are like time travel for me
Call it the lil fish
😬Those forks....😅
modern looking
@@fidelcatsro6948 Too much for my taste....😅🤣
👍🐷👍
Can we have some more commercials please?
That'll Do nicely...Don't bother to wrap it!!
A rigid frame off road ? Good luck with your back problems in later life .
A bike from a time when men (and women) had stronger backbones. 🤣
The sprung seat helps somewhat.
Get rid a that pug nose front fender!
