You really should try out riding. I've been doing it damn near over 20 some years, and it is the most fun you can have with your pants on. It's very therapeutic, too.
So glad to see you and Craig keep it in touch just like you said you would. Miss I really miss the shows that you guys did together just got so used to seeing you guys as friends doing stuff that sometimes was crazy but good.
Bikes and Beards, I’m glad you and Matt got together on this project. He reminds me of his Dad in so many ways it’s unbelievable. Both of them are as honest as the day is long, both of them genuine and genuinely good people to anyone they meet. Somehow they both seem like they’ve never met a strange, up at the old shop here in Southern Illinois Dale always gave folks a fair shake and would go out of his way to help you out if he saw that you were in a bind. Spent quite a few afternoons looking for oddball parts or just original parts that weren’t reproduced yet by quality companies. Their shop crew and sales department were phenomenal as well. Glad to see the Maggie Valley location worked out so well for the Walkslers. Matt is definitely keeping history relatable with his channel. It’s good to see that you guys caught on to the historical importance of some of these old bikes for your channel as well as your business. I understand that you must make a profit to stay above water but every once in a while getting neck deep in a project like this might broaden your understanding of where a lot of our hobby began. Sometimes the old bikes even as simple as they seem compared to the technology we’re used to will make us bang our heads against the wall to troubleshoot. The stroker shovelhead im working on now has been creating more grey hair in just the last week but they all do eventually. Anyway, hold your heads a little higher moving forward, you and your team have really accomplished something to be proud of to preserve another piece of history and to help educate your subscribers as well as just bringing us along for the ride. 👍
This is literally what the world needs more of. Just a bunch of guys riding old bikes and bro-ing out over vintages!!! War will be gone before you know it!
Love the way Matt goes straight from getting it to fire, to sorting out the issues, rather than simply being amazed it started... guess it comes with doing so many builds
I just found you on TH-cam. I’ve been riding for over 40 years. I love your videos, I love your humor. Most of all though, I get a great vibe from you and the people you know. It’s obvious that the love you. You’re a good guy my friend and you get what you give. You’re an inspiration for the men of today. 🙏☮️🇺🇸😎
A B&B upload on Friday again? Thank the Lord. Missed you guys since you went to the Volunteer state. Would be nice to see an update video on SRK too. Thanks for making my day!
Great to see the old girl back to her former glory and sounding sweet. No better feeling than bringing an old/neglected/forgotten thing back to use. Now it's time to get into the workshop myself and install the fork springs and valves I bought yesterday into my old Yammy XJ. Thanks for the content guys, very enjoyable.
Loved hearing it run. As a 82 year old man who rode one as a teenager. That was a army surplus that cost 125 dollar ended up trading it in on a brand new 1958 BSA Supper Rocket because the vibration so much less
I have done so many first starts on old cars and bikes after many years. It never ever gets old. That child like excitement is always there. I will never get tired of it. And I can tell these guys are the same. I love it.
I watched Craig's video this morning before my run, got done with 7.5 miles and now finished this one. Great job, this bike turned out amazing. You also made me want to buy a BW200 even though I never had one before.
I lowered and did my own forward controls and shortened exhaust on my 05 sport v-rod that I bought from Shawn and totally Bad Boy'd it...maroon paint and grey frame...it is a looker! Thanks Shawn! Love this video...God Speed to you!
Beautiful Bike, Good to see you back Sean. Craig has been holding the fort. And kudos to Matt, What wealth of knowledge and a great guy. God bless you all. Stay safe, live to ride, ride to live.
I was going to get a motorcycle, but my kids wanted a swimming pool in the backyard, but I have a brand spanking new helmet I can pretend with! LOL Love watching these videos!
Praise God that He Allows us to enjoy our lives and He Loves us for it as We give Him Our Love and Kindness to one another! In Jesus Awesome Name. May you all be Blessed!
Guys, been wondering what ever happened to that bike! Thought yall gave up on it or secretly sold it. This is great. Oh yeah, 9:42 "I built that too" Priceless!
Its a blessing when I watch a hardcore cyclist who is always filled with the spirit of our lord. I can hear it in your voice and I can feel it. God Bless You amen Jesus Christ is our KING.AMEN.
My old neighbor bought a non running 1936 RLDR 45 in the late '50's and brought it home, hanging out of the trunk of his car with plans to fix it up. He said it had been used as a flat track racer. This story is from before I was born. He put it in the back of an old pickup and put it in his dad's barn. I saw it several times as a kid playing. Fast forward to the early 2000's. The old boy had passed away and had never fixed it up. His son accepted an offer from a HD dealer, who traded him a brand new Sportster for the old bike. I never did hear of what happened to the bike, but I sure wish he'd sold it to me but he wouldn't sell it.
Been to the maggie valley museum and its the best motorcycle museum ive been too. Ive been to a handful but every bike at wheels through time actually runs. Id reccomend it to anyone that likes history or bikes. Matt and formerly his father frequently give personal, nerdy, detailed tours to those that enjoy old bikes as much as they do. Rip dale.
I’m a Canadian and back in the day I was I’m Maggie Valley visiting a friend, that friend introduced me to Dale. As a high end builder of homes Dale was interested in my thoughts about his upcoming construction project. I actually forget what his plans were but my memory was eclipsed by what was in the building we were walking past to get to the site. The Museum! Dale gave me his time and boy o boy did he give me his time, hours upon hours. My wife went back to the motel and every moment with Dale was an honor, I was riding a Buell at the time and Dale gave me some history lessons, in fact it was a historical overload, as you all know Dale was a legend and for me that long day was etched into my memory for eternity. I’m currently sailing around the world and watching this video on the open ocean, Starlink allows me to have internet worldwide. ❤️
I been in wheels through time. Looked at every bike there and loved it. Worked for a friend of Dale and Matt's at the transmission shop in Waynesville. Also worked weekends at Salty Dogs. Fun times. Good memories.
What a great video. When I was 14, back in 1955, I bought a 1942 civilian flat head "45". I had a lot of fun on that one as it was my first Harley. I started riding on Whizzer motor bikes when I was 8. I am 82 now, and ride a 99 Softail Custom. But I will always remember the fun I had on that old "45". The front brake cable was broken, and the spark advance cable was broken. So I had to remember to retard the spark by hand before I started it. Stopping on a hill was also exciting. I had to shift to low, hold the brake on with my right foot and balance the bike with my left. When the light changed, I had to raise my left foot to operate the clutch while taking my foot off the brake to put my right foot down. I did manage to do it all without killing the engine. But I was 14. When you are 14 you think you can do anything. LOL. Anyway, loved your video. It brought back lots of good memories. Wish I had kept mine.
When I look at this machine through my European eyes, the angles and contours appear so different, almost as if it is shortened, but as soon as Craig rode it away onto that track, I could identify the true lineage and purpose of shape, the way he sits so comfortably and it slides across the gravel tracks, in this age of technology, I love it that that the real men are still around showing us and teaching us to mould shape and form American Steel and Iron, Stunning that is all I can say, Big Greetings from little England
Great to see you back big fella, have watched all of the 3 videos on this bike that were dropped in the last few days & it's an awesome bike, congratulations Sean, Rj in Oz
I had a 45 trike and rode the solo a little, I bought a solo years ago. That solo was missing on one cylinder, come to find out the rear cylinder had a hole in the piston and it would still run somewhat. That was the most nostalgia I ever felt in my life even with all the Harley I have owned and loved!
I’ve been thinking about this bike lately wondering what the deal was! Worth the wait. So happy to see the boys back together. Hopefully we can make it happen a little more frequently?!
Caswell tank liner is some good stuff. I have a 67 BSA that had a leaking tank. Was a euro tank so hard to find. After proper prep it’s been holding 5yrs no issues. I did patch weld it though.
I was born in 1974. I have had quite a few vehicles through the years that took regular gas. For a while after they stopped having regular (back then, regular was the leaded stuff and unleaded was unleaded) gas, we had to buy lead additive. My old Jeep took regular. I also had a Toyota pick-up that took regular, and my first bike, an old Honda Trail 70, also took regular gas.
We (Vintage Moto USA) had the pleasure of meeting Matt today at the AMCA Southern Nationals and he was every bit as cool and courteous as he seems in the videos. The Shop and I are looking forward to being back at the museum in November!
I live in waynesville, nc, Wheels through time is a gift to all of us here in our town. We go there all the time. It's a passion and a life. I'm like a little kid in a candy store seeing every machine that they've put their time and life's into. Every one of them have a story. Can't wait to go back.
Sean and everyone else thank you for this video I was waiting for well I can't say years because I know you guys from 2022 but I can say DECADES, this is the perfect gift for my Birthday ;3
I still love my Honda VTX 1800, but man there are so many insanely cool bikes out there. I would love to find a 40s 50s as a daily driver. So much more involved in the riding experience. Loving the channel and all the talent behind these builds.
I'm not a motorcycle fan nor do I desire to be. To see this beautiful piece of Americana restored and brought back to life gives me chills. A beautiful piece of American art.
Seeing this bike looking brand new gives me the James May Fizz, I love old bikes like this that are very close to original bicycles w/ a gas motor bolted on.... Its especially cool because today is my birthday so this is an awesome present. 😁❤❤
I bought a 1985 BW200 brand new and had more fun on it than I thought I would. I put a 22 inch Turf Tamer in the rear and put on a bigger Mikuni carb that made it quite a bit faster and better revving. Too bad I sold it 33 years ago!
Craig is the backbone of all these builds. Nothing but respect to this man and his passion for his craft
They are an awesome team together.
@@troy17981 craig has his own channel if you want to see more of what he does. the bearded mechanic
@@troy17981 Craig has his own channel: bearded mechanic. Funny how it's not mentionned in the video.
Everyone knows Dan is the true secret to the b&b crew.
Agree 100%
Craig your joy brings tears to my eyes and a smile in my heart. Your so genuine.
🤮
I've never rode a bike in my life, but that machine right there is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and art.
Was thinking the same mate 🤙
You really should try out riding. I've been doing it damn near over 20 some years, and it is the most fun you can have with your pants on. It's very therapeutic, too.
@@tetlow2facts
Oh you should definitely ride there's nothing like it.
@@tetlow2 Been riding 52 years and planning on many more, never gets stale.
I love the look of these old Harleys. Their profile is so aesthetically pleasing. Well worth the wait. Great work everyone.
Yay, great to see you guys together again...excellent video..awesome gift for Matt..that was very thoughtful Sean...good job
Yes it was!
You can really see the emotion in Matt’s face when he started that BW up. What a cool moment to see
So glad to see you and Craig keep it in touch just like you said you would. Miss I really miss the shows that you guys did together just got so used to seeing you guys as friends doing stuff that sometimes was crazy but good.
Such a great bike and video! Awesome work fellas!
Mac! Awesome to see you here sir
I hope he's near knoxville! Can't wait for the tail of the dragon videos
:) I love that you watch this channel too!
The look on his face when he started the BW: Priceless ❤
There were some really good memories rushing through his mind at this moment
I love seeing restoration projects get good use instead of sitting on a shelf for the rest of their life. Awesome stuff!

My Favorite upload yet! , Craig , Matt and Sean all in one awesome build finale' !
This is literally what the world needs more of. Just a bunch of guys riding old bikes and bro-ing out over vintages!!!
War will be gone before you know it!
Loved the making of this bike. Been a fun series to follow. Hope there is more like it to come!
The passion from all the guys at Wheels through time is just amazing.
It really is
Love the way Matt goes straight from getting it to fire, to sorting out the issues, rather than simply being amazed it started... guess it comes with doing so many builds
One of the most beautiful machines ever, great job to everyone involved in the restoration.
Thank you very much!
I just found you on TH-cam. I’ve been riding for over 40 years. I love your videos, I love your humor. Most of all though, I get a great vibe from you and the people you know. It’s obvious that the love you.
You’re a good guy my friend and you get what you give.
You’re an inspiration for the men of today.

Good to see you guys back together 👍
I buy tickets every year for the raffle bike, can't wait. 37' knuck is mine come nov...my condolences to matt..dad was #1 of a kind
Great Friday morning video! Good to see the team back in action! Made my day. Have a good day everyone!
The realities of owning a vintage bike. Even restored by absolutely the best people, things will never stop going wrong.
I’ve been waiting for this reveal! The bike looks great - nice work everyone who worked on this piece of history.
Love that your not afraid to beat on the bike like it was made to do being it’s a race bike. Looks awesome. Great job to all of you.
A B&B upload on Friday again? Thank the Lord. Missed you guys since you went to the Volunteer state. Would be nice to see an update video on SRK too. Thanks for making my day!
Great to see the old girl back to her former glory and sounding sweet.
No better feeling than bringing an old/neglected/forgotten thing back to use.
Now it's time to get into the workshop myself and install the fork springs and valves I bought yesterday into my old Yammy XJ.
Thanks for the content guys, very enjoyable.
Looks so much better now it's restored. Well done to all of you who put in the work.
That bike turned out amazing 🤩 considering how it looked when you first got it. A true piece of history. 👍🏻
love it so glad to see the band back together again. great stuff such a huge moment congrats to you all.
Loved hearing it run. As a 82 year old man who rode one as a teenager. That was a army surplus that cost 125 dollar ended up trading it in on a brand new 1958 BSA Supper Rocket because the vibration so much less
Great stuff here! Glad to see you back. Go Bikes and Beards, keep moving forward!
That's the plan!
You comforted him with a childhood memory, doing Gods work, that’s what it’s all about ❤, much love guys
He remembers the story of a childhood bike, but forgets that Matt showed him his personal WL and told him he was a racer. Shenanigans!
I have done so many first starts on old cars and bikes after many years. It never ever gets old. That child like excitement is always there. I will never get tired of it. And I can tell these guys are the same. I love it.
its the sound that lets you know that the fun is about to start
I watched Craig's video this morning before my run, got done with 7.5 miles and now finished this one. Great job, this bike turned out amazing. You also made me want to buy a BW200 even though I never had one before.
To you, Craig, Matt and even the cameramen GREAT JOB!!!! Seeing Matts face when you gave him that BW was priceless.
“Something” Carolina is the NORTH CAROLINA the Old North State! Come visit Friends!
I lowered and did my own forward controls and shortened exhaust on my 05 sport v-rod that I bought from Shawn and totally Bad Boy'd it...maroon paint and grey frame...it is a looker! Thanks Shawn! Love this video...God Speed to you!
It's Awesome to see these old bikes restored.
This is one of the best builds yet!!! Love the Ol HD and y'alls personality's really work to make it fun to watch. May God bless each of y'all🙏🤠
Bike looks fantastic, seems to go pretty well too. Dale is a magician with these things.
I thought you gave up on that project, until I talked to Matt at WTT today. I came home and watched the video. You guys did an awesome job.
Matt is the man and his museum is absolutely amazing.
Beautiful Bike, Good to see you back Sean. Craig has been holding the fort. And kudos to Matt, What wealth of knowledge and a great guy. God bless you all. Stay safe, live to ride, ride to live.
I was going to get a motorcycle, but my kids wanted a swimming pool in the backyard, but I have a brand spanking new helmet I can pretend with! LOL Love watching these videos!
Get a bike and restore it make memories
Love how the build is perfect for 5 minutes and it’s like, “Let’s go race it on gravel roads” lol-well done, all!
Looking at the engine rebuild you can see where sportster got it's roots from.
Man I just drove through Tennessee today and was thinking I haven’t seen you post in a while. It’s good to see a video again man!
Praise God that He Allows us to enjoy our lives and He Loves us for it as We give Him Our Love and Kindness to one another! In Jesus Awesome Name. May you all be Blessed!
Nah
Literally just watched craigs channel the bearded mechanic about this bike and jumped straight over to this one afterwards. Awesome bike. 👏🏻👏🏻
I miss the Craig X Sean Duo
Guys, been wondering what ever happened to that bike! Thought yall gave up on it or secretly sold it. This is great. Oh yeah, 9:42 "I built that too" Priceless!
Be nice if youtube pushed your videos to me. SMH
They did
I’m curious as to why anyone would be interested in a 45

@@boriscook6817because it's a very valuable and irreplaceable piece of history. Any bike or car guy would die to have something so cool!
having ridden them since the 60’s and ridden 45’s
I can tell you that they’re not that great of a ride
I can think of all but a few that are better
Sweet bikes! Couple of my friends from Virginia will be at WTT this week. WLDR sounds great with that pipe! Thanks Sean, Matt and Craig!
Its a blessing when I watch a hardcore cyclist who is always filled with the spirit of our lord. I can hear it in your voice and I can feel it. God Bless You amen Jesus Christ is our KING.AMEN.
I have been looking forward to seeing this bike running for a long time! So happy to see how well you did!
You and me both!
Super cool seeing people actually riding and enjoying stuff and not just storing it

Great to see you back big fella, have watched all of the 3 videos on this bike that were dropped in the last few days & it's an awesome bike, congratulations Sean, Rj in Oz
Thank you sir
That is an awesome bike. Loved this video seeing you and Craig together again. You guys are awesome!
Genuinely one of the prettiest bike i think i've ever seen.
I had a 45 trike and rode the solo a little, I bought a solo years ago. That solo was missing on one cylinder, come to find out the rear cylinder had a hole in the piston and it would still run somewhat. That was the most nostalgia I ever felt in my life even with all the Harley I have owned and loved!
You gotta love Harley to take on a project like this. This is freaking crazy... But then again, we' talking about Bikes & Beards.
Great collaboration between masters of their craft in motorcycle curation and restoration. B&B and WTT make YT interesting for bike lovers.
I’ve been thinking about this bike lately wondering what the deal was! Worth the wait. So happy to see the boys back together. Hopefully we can make it happen a little more frequently?!
Excellent video thanks very much. It was great to hear good that old motor sounded as it came back to life again.
Sweet to see one of these come back to life.
Caswell tank liner is some good stuff. I have a 67 BSA that had a leaking tank. Was a euro tank so hard to find. After proper prep it’s been holding 5yrs no issues.
I did patch weld it though.
Thanks Sean for posting a video we've been jonesing for a bikesandbeards video ,
Oh and a nice job on that bike, you should take it to Ocean City for bike week .😊
You got to the 'Post Office' & mid laugh I started looking for my thumbs. Love this & have been watching you BOTH before & beyond.
Awesome video love seeing old bike's. Thanks for the entertainment. God bless you all.
Coolest video I've watched in awhile. Thanks for sharing.
My wife passed away 10 months ago, and the first bike she bought was a BW 200
It sounds like a real mean machine. Great job of restoring it. Don't be afraid of sealing the tank from inside with an epoxy lining.
That was a great time! Need more of these kind of get togethers. What a bike!
I was born in 1974. I have had quite a few vehicles through the years that took regular gas. For a while after they stopped having regular (back then, regular was the leaded stuff and unleaded was unleaded) gas, we had to buy lead additive. My old Jeep took regular.

Love seeing the band back together, gotta be happy with how the bike turned out after a long journey. Dale does some great work
Good to see you guys together in a video again
I kind of feel sorry for you, Sean. Because you can't fake it but you'll learn. It takes time and experience. Good luck in the future.
I live in waynesville, nc, Wheels through time is a gift to all of us here in our town. We go there all the time. It's a passion and a life. I'm like a little kid in a candy store seeing every machine that they've put their time and life's into. Every one of them have a story. Can't wait to go back.
Sean and everyone else thank you for this video I was waiting for well I can't say years because I know you guys from 2022 but I can say DECADES, this is the perfect gift for my Birthday ;3
When I was a teen we were buying these from Army Surplus stores new in crate for $50 to a $100 bucks. Yeah Im old. Haha
i ve heard alot of stories about that
you should really give craig some credit because you don’t do anything on these builds he’s the heart of your channel you just talk and ride
Nothing more satisfying than hearing an engine run for the first time and it's running normally
Very very glad to see you back Shaun, i ll be waiting for more videos from yo uas soon as you can. Have a great day !
More to come!
Really like the Bible verse. And good to see you guys together again.
I still love my Honda VTX 1800, but man there are so many insanely cool bikes out there. I would love to find a 40s 50s as a daily driver. So much more involved in the riding experience. Loving the channel and all the talent behind these builds.
I'm not a motorcycle fan nor do I desire to be. To see this beautiful piece of Americana restored and brought back to life gives me chills. A beautiful piece of American art.
Thanks for the Bible verse. Very fitting for how you comforted your buddy with a childhood memory of his Dad. You rock, Sean!
Thanks
Seeing this bike looking brand new gives me the James May Fizz, I love old bikes like this that are very close to original bicycles w/ a gas motor bolted on.... Its especially cool because today is my birthday so this is an awesome present. 😁❤❤
Only you will fill a tank without checking for leaks. You do it often.
I bought a 1985 BW200 brand new and had more fun on it than I thought I would. I put a 22 inch Turf Tamer in the rear and put on a bigger Mikuni carb that made it quite a bit faster and better revving. Too bad I sold it 33 years ago!
What 300,000 years!! It looks barely like it's 298,000 years old!! Great to see you ..
