RIP DALE.
I had a 1942 45 back in 1955 when I was 14. Wish I still had it. My ride now is a 99 Softail Custom which I really like. I will be 80 years old in November, so don't do long rides anymore, but still enjoy riding on the back roads around where I live a couple of miles from small town Kansas. Thanks for the memory.
that’s awesome. you got to live in the greatest times
Better without background music
Or at least lower the volume.
Really good to see Dale back in the Museum and on videos. Missed you being there. Your son is good(good teacher?) but I'm a retired senior that enjoys people of my age group.
Hi from Sweden. Here the Harleys was quite popular in the twenties and up to WW2. For its time reliable. After the war surplus WL. Then no Harleys until the Sportster came.
My first motorcycle bought in -63 was a 1930 DL. Running but needed renovation. Major issues was crankpin 1/16 worn, bought a new one $4. Frame broken just behind gearbox, right side. As gearbox was not constant mesh, got 2nd gear from a scrapyard. Some previous owner after the common generator drive failure had moved the generator to behind engine driven by a V-belt from the clutch. It had the original twin headlamps. It had not a distributor but a single breaker driving a dual output wasted spark ignition coil which I think was original. Painted it in its original green. Some vandal had cut off front part of the clutch pedal, made it somewhat interesting to ride. Brakes wasn't very effective, resulting in a lots of sparks from the footboards in the bends. Used it for two years, always reliable. The hand oil pump was very efficient to prevent tailgating.
I enjoy Matt’s videos but I love Dale’s videos
The pandemic is the best thing that ever happened to motorcycle history buffs because these videos are absolutely extraordinary.
I miss those golden era, awesome video, I loved it, thank you for such a great motorcycle content
Love the old Bikes! So glad “The Wheels Through Time Museum is in existence and doing well! Thanks Dale!
Interesting history and commentary, BUT ...the music is very distracting.
I agree, the music is very distracting. I thought they'd listened to the comments at last upon seeing that the last one of their videos like this one thankfully had no music. Love the videos, but the music sadly takes away from the content overall. I really hope they can take the music out (or at least turn it right down so it's just background noise) as it really is quite unneccesary and somewhat detracts from the experience.
The 2 things, and only 2 more than likely, Dale and I have in common. Both of our first Harleys were Servicars and we both still have them....but his runs, mine has not for a while...
i’ll get it to run!
Thanks for the lessons Dale. Its good to see you
Extremely interesting and informative as always, BUT the pointless music ruins these videos for me. 🤯
Back when everyone wanted 74s, or at least bikes that were 55-61 cubic inches, I bought, sold and traded several 45s for basically peanuts.
Does anyone ever read the comments? I’m not alone in finding the music an unnecessary, annoying distraction. Love the content otherwise.
Agreed
I'm putting together a list of places I want to visit in the States. This place is on the list along with Towsends
Fricken' awesome!!!
Glorious!
And another awesome video and info, thanks
great unique videos, nobody got these bikes
That was fantastic.
I'm glad there is no dislikes yet. I hope it stays that way
I remember that bike.
Great history
A friend had a 45 rebuilt at the Harley Davidson Dealership shop. It was a beauty , put the top speed was under 40 mpg. Way ? The motor ran fine. Did it have the wrong transmission or some other gear problem.
Great STUFF!!!!!!WILLY CA 🦅🏍⚒☠️⚡️🌎🇺🇸🙏👍🙏🏍🏍🏍🔥
Can a 1940 WL be converted from hand-shift, foot clutch to a hand clutch, foot shift??
I once owned a 49 w l r 45.
Actually the '45 ' engine went all the way to 1983 in the servi- car!!
I think they stopped building Servicars in 73.
1973, not 1983.
Great videos. But the music over power's the Video
How I be able to contact you?
Had 47 sólo customized with cast wheels and disc brakes mikuni carb electronic ignition 12 volts sold it to someone near KC

Finally the video I been waiting for...I am restoring a 29DL with very low serial number...thank you for the paint options by year and the link to hdpaint.tk. Do you have any links for rims and Tyres options for the 18" cinker rims, I can only find supplers for the 20" rims of the JD bikes
And the band played on. I don't think they ever read the comments section to make the video's better for the viewer.
OMG stop the music, I can't even finish this...
Please don't use music, or just reduce the volume of it to the minimum.
Sweeet
which is funny and very annoying how often he says Harley Davidson it would be enough if he only says Harley but otherwise it bothers me well🤘🏻
