I’ve never seen a son take over any business or company and just pick up where dad left off as well as this guy. Dale Earnhardt Jr. dose a good job also but this guy is #1
I LOVE the peashooter tanks with the rocker cut outs added! Too many custom touches to count. This bike is a "sit on the ground beside it and study it for 3 hours" kind of bike! Too cool.
Always a great video. That is a living breathing work of art. Bill Harley was quite an engineer but to see how others modified it so long ago and it's still here is just a pleasure to see
AMAZING work of art..... this era of motorcycles by Harley are simply timeless and only get better with time.... the lines of this particular bike are simply stunning...!!!
What a cool piece! Thank's Dale for sharing your bike & your knowledge of it! Thanks Matt for hosting ALL of these videos. Great way to keep the flame burning!
Andrew Elliott hard to say, there was huge disparity in wages just before the depression. If you were a farm laborer for instance, the bike would be above your means, but if you had a more white collar job, it would have been easily affordable. Hard to make a call on your question, times were much different then. And I’m certainly no expert. My parents were both in college in the early 30s, my mom worked 3 jobs and sent money home to help her parents. At the same time my dad was driving a new 32 Ford roadster.
@@tedecker3792 first of all let me please thank you for you reply, I understand what you saying and totally forgot about the depression too. Over in England we hardly ever get to see and enjoy any of the old Harleys. Thanks again
Me and my wife stopped in today for the first time ever seen the motor drone and seen Matt start many vehicles watching his passion twords these bikes was amazing loves it worth the 9 hour drive thank you
Didn't realize this series had the intake valve on top and the exhaust valve underneath. The aesthetic is so pure and simple. I would park this in my living room and just look at it.
Absolutely amazing Harley! like all good old Harleys they have great history and a good story ! Thank for you time to show us harley had a great seeing and hearing all about it
That is one of the coolest looking bikes I have seen. Not really a Harley bloke but that thing is next level. Great job from blokes almost 100 years ago. Bloody awesome bike
Love watching all these great videos you do such amazing stories and Info on all of those great bikes . Can't wait to get to the museum one of these days soon
Thanks for a view of early custom H-Ds. Interesting that the original customs were all about improving performance; now it seems it's all about "style" changes that make the vehicle less capable.
Marco, maybe you should look for new friends. There are thousands of Harley guys out here doing all this same stuff today to our modern bikes. How about those 131 ci motors, right from the factory. And S&S 143 ci motors, and Ultima 140 ci motors ?! Then Baker 6 speed transmissions on the market for years now. Hot rod clutches available from several manufacturers. And high performance disc brake set ups in several configurations are available. Crazy 'upside down ' fork legs, and a host of rear suspensions for people to choose from. Electronic ignition systems up the gazoo, and fuel injection, or multi carburetors available of every design imaginable ! Harley riders today have more performance items available to choose from than ever ! And more info about all that than ever due to the internet. So Marco, get out there and build ' YOUR DREAM BIKE' ! Maybe 100 years from now, some young fella's will be drooling all over what 'you did', way back when ! Someday I'm sure, it will be said that "THIS was the 'GOLDEN AGE' of Harleys" ! Because right now is when thers is more available to Harley enthusiasts than ever before in history ! Hey, so let's not waste it, thinking about the past ! JUST GO FOR IT NOW ! RUBBER DOWN, THROTTLE UP !
Awesome seeing these vintage HD’s still running strong oh I’d use some locktite on that rear sprocket bolts and see ya all in Daytona BikeToberfest 2021 at the Cabbage 🥬 Patch/ Cacklebery Campgrounds
Several years ago at Davenport Dale let me sit on this bike. One of my all time favorite builds. Our friend Tom Faber has a picture of this bike In the 70s when it was black with yellow sheet metal and a Clay Smith decal on the tank! A word of caution: Don't talk politics with Dale!
I just noticed right at the end of the video (10.57) the custom bent & reinforced rear brake rod done to line up with the rotated rear brake, that just brilliant .
I'd venture to say the cutdown style is synonymous with the bobber style. Besides that; that's the best damn exhaust note I've ever heard from any Harley!
Love it, other than the tops of the fork sticking over the handlebars. That was the beauty of the Indian Leaf Spring Fork, with flat bars, they looked so mean, and if you were involved on an accident theres nothing poking up to impale you!
Now that is a work of art. Nothing cheap looking and all business. Well done sir.
Loved listening to the two of you tell us about this beauty. Can listen to you all day, from sun up to sun down
That is bo doubt one of the baddest, sweatest, just perfectly styled bike I have had the honor of seeing and it sounds badass too. Beautiful.
I’ve never seen a son take over any business or company and just pick up where dad left off as well as this guy. Dale Earnhardt Jr. dose a good job also but this guy is #1
I LOVE the peashooter tanks with the rocker cut outs added! Too many custom touches to count. This bike is a "sit on the ground beside it and study it for 3 hours" kind of bike! Too cool.
I can do that it’s a labor of love
That bike is one of the coolest bikes I’ve ever seen .
What a beautiful old reworked Harley!!
I am so grateful for this channel and all those people who keep history alive.
totally authentic, both the machine and Dale, it;s a credit to him. Thanks to Matt for bringing us this one.
I love an awesome period correct custom but this one knocks it out of the park. Such cool history. Thank you for sharing this one.
Beautiful machine. I love to hear the stories of these old bikes. Just amazing.. Thanks for sharing the history..
I always liked cutdowns. This one is clean. Professionally done is right. Sounds real good too.
Shovelehead geezer here but that right there is my dream build for as far back as I remember. Nice work Dale.
Fantastic machine .
Wow! What and amazing custom cutdown with all kinds of amazing goodies!
Thanks Matt for doing the video and thanks Dale for showing her off!!
Amazing content, as always, Matt! Thanks for everyone's hard work.
I cannot recall ever seeing a more perfect motorcycle - I love a good bobber, but this vintage cut-down is superb. 👌
Love it.. the whole walking around the bike you can see how hard it is for to keep his hands off it..
Wow! That has got to be the most beautiful sounding Harley ever! What a fantastic resto job - minimal only what's needed.
Always a great video. That is a living breathing work of art. Bill Harley was quite an engineer but to see how others modified it so long ago and it's still here is just a pleasure to see
AMAZING work of art..... this era of motorcycles by Harley are simply timeless and only get better with time.... the lines of this particular bike are simply stunning...!!!

What a cool piece! Thank's Dale for sharing your bike & your knowledge of it! Thanks Matt for hosting ALL of these videos. Great way to keep the flame burning!
She sings to you as beautiful as she looks! Gorgeous piece of machinery art work!
Never thought i,d say this bout a 100 yr old Harley hot rod , but that bike is awesome. You guys are the real deal!
Could you imagine going back in time and hanging out with the guys who built these early customs...
Definitely a trendsetter of his time.....
Andrew Elliott few dollars but massive skills!
@@tedecker3792 was this bike expensive to buy in 1928?

Awesome seeing these vintage HD’s still running strong oh I’d use some locktite on that rear sprocket bolts and see ya all in Daytona BikeToberfest 2021 at the Cabbage 🥬 Patch/ Cacklebery Campgrounds
If you know how to install a rear sprocket , you don't need lock tight
Wow!! Beautiful machine.
Absolutely love this bike!

Love those moving exposed rocker arms and parts.
Really cool bike, old school always two thumbs up...
Love them IOE motors man sweet sound !
I just noticed right at the end of the video (10.57) the custom bent & reinforced rear brake rod done to line up with the rotated rear brake, that just brilliant .
Priceless machine. Thank you
I can't believe that sound 💥💥💥🥇
Outstanding ride!
My god that's a sweet girl running!!! I'll always remember my visit (last Wednesday) and hopefully get to come back. Hopefully to meet Matt.
