    It was my 50th birthday yesterday.
    My wife gave me a T-shirt from Weels Through Time and I was very happy. A little later I received another envelope. I opened it and tears welled up in my eyes.
    In the envelope was a ticket to Dave's Harley-Davidson Museum.
    My dream was to fly from Germany to America for the first time and see the museum. Absolutely crazy.
    So see you next year, I hope to see you....

    Ok everyone, BEFORE you comment, put your glasses on and read the title of the video carefully, then watch the first 30 seconds of the show. It was explained...
    This is NOT an Orange County Chopper. It was not a Teutel build.
    If this was an OCC build, it would have an S&S "Pan" motor, a silly big old fat back tire, lots of pointy spikey bolts, and a paint job that looked like your dog ate your Christmas decorations and puked them all back up on the tins.
    We don't need another comment about how OCC was crap or whatever. This bike is clearly much older. It's a dusty Panhead! Getting a Pan and a Shovel for 8 grand seems pretty cool to me! 🙂

    My friend found a chopped 45 on a remote farm in somerset. after digging it out from the pile of rusty tools we started to see if it could run . The valves where stuck so we had to lever them out with the heads off and then with the farmers growing enthusiast help we put the valves in a drill to get the rust off .with everything put back in we hooked up a battery and got a spark so as I was sittings on it I gave it a kick and it fires right up .....12 inch over forks a green metal flake paint job and a criss dagger for a gear change straight of the box off down the farm track I went...... absolutely terrifying ride with a 50 point turn back up to farm and £600 later my friend was the proud owner. He rode it all over England in the next 20 years only to lay it up with a rusted through frame .so watching this bright back happy memories from across the pond 🇺🇲🇬🇧

    If it weren't for Guys likee that dude, half of everything that industrial America has produced over the past 100 years would no longer exist anymore. It would be in landfills, and recycled. Instead it's being rebuilt, polished, and showcased all over our country. Collectors like him are the heart of the antique collecting community, and are the living historians of Americana. We should be so grateful that guys like him are willing to take up all their valuable space, space they could be renting out and turning a buck on, for the sake of saving rusty old objects that most of us would find just to be some kind of inconvenience to keep around. Instead they hold on to all that "junk," and "Junk" gets dusty over the years, and "junk" gets Rusty over the years, but it's still a big part of who we are as americans, and guys like him should be f****** saluted for saving it, not criticized...

    Hah, good vid!
    I've bought that bike like 4 times, old pan chops are the best. You could hear the second she fired with the new coil and a hot battery she was happy.
    Have done that same thing with the clutch lever, just long enough to get to my buddy Ernie's shop, where we made a new cable. I keep a 4X4 block next to my lift for the frame rails to sit on. None of my long bikes will fit on my racks with the back tire on it.
    I was hoping you would ride it by the guys house where you bought it. Might inspire him to get one of his projects back on the board.
    Again, killer video. Have fun

    @14:45 your using the channel locks wrong. When loosing you need to have them flipped to get proper grip. Good pairs have teeth directional and also even if not the way you then pull on them in your hand you will put much more force if you pull or push them with the pliers arch going the way you need the fastener to turn. Helps a lot and help you from stripping heads out. Just fyi cause a lot of people don’t know.

You're an inspiration and if the younger generation would just stop and take the time to listen and learn, life would be better for all of us! Us old dogs have been around a while and we've learned stuff. I learned a lot from my Grandfather and I thank God every day he had the patience to teach me. He never threw anything away!

    My first HD was a stock 1962 Duo Glide that I bought in 1971, paid $1000 for it. Soon after that I bobbed it and eventually chopped it the whole 9 yards... back halved and stretched 6" with a weld on rigid conversion, stock 16" wheel under a flat fender hung on a medium sissy bar. The neck was raked to sit level with an 8" over front end on narrowed trees and an 18" front wheel and mini drum. Peanut tank, pullbacks and spring solo seat.
    About 1978 I put it back in a stock swingarm frame, with stock shocks and stock 62' tanks w console, cut back and machined the upper legs so the frame sat level w the 18" front wheel, stock rear fender bobbed a bit, pretty much a DIY Super Glide. I won't tell you how little I left that pan go for in 1985 when I was raising a family... you'd cry, I still do.

    This is the greatest wrenching video I've ever watched. Bunch of really skilled guys physically Attack a motorcycle to get it going all while cracking some hilarious jokes. Was the greatest chaotic symphony I've ever seen.

    Takes me back in time for sure....sold it 3 yrs ago but I found a 66 shovel at a estate sale nobody bid on and I ended up getting it for $350... had the aluminum sportster heads...was told it didn't run and it didn't but literally only needed a battery and timed.of course I put plugs and wires in too but thing ran like a dream...had a custom raked out front fork.overall the bike was 8'10 from the very front of the front tire to the back of the rear tire....was a blast to ride but my knee and hip don't miss it one bit

    First time stumbling across this channel & it's a gem.
    This is a bunch of guys who actually know their shit.
    That chopper is probably built way better than an actual OCC piece of marketing crap.

    I’m not a huge old school chopper fan, but this bike has character. It would be a great rebuild project. Think I’d go with a springer front end, and spoked wheels. Chrome, with some gold / brass accents.

    I really need to get up there and visit you guys. I'm only a little ways away in lil' ol' Clemson SC and I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've never stopped in as many times as I've been to & through Western NC. I'll get there eventually though. Thanks for sharing & God bless! ~ Scott 💙👊🏼

    Reminds me of Freaky Fred’s old Panhead Chopper back in the day at R&R Cycle in Marlo heights here in Maryland.
    Used to buff & grind parts there and also worked in seat department. Good times.
