Matt glad you are happy with our old Harley ! It was meant to be for you to have it. To many similar things about your Dad and my husband. Sure sounds like they were the same.He loved watching you Dad ! Enjoy and I am sure Dale and Eric my late husband are both proud of you and Keith being such awesome sons carrying on the dream !
Thank you Cindy! Proud to have your husbands ‘51 here at WTT. All the best to you and Keith!
It is now shared with thousands of people! Thank to you and matt!
@@wheelsthroughtimeI wonder if that shop in Kansas has a 51’ motor?
Too cool ,Matt can't wait to see it in the shop.
I came there once years ago but I didn't have enough cash to get inside. They let me look around outside but they said if I was 65 I could get in but I was only 64 then so I never got in. Tim came out and talked to me though. I was traveling and got to my bank the next day but never made it back there. A dollar short a day late and a month early. Now I have been paralyzed and can't walk anymore. I wish I could go back in time to Wheels thru time. I would have loved to see inside. I watch the shows and I can walk again
One of my favorite scenes... parts shopping in the actual museum displays!!! Awesome
Helps to have inventory! ❤
Man, the shop, the museum, your look, the voice, and the knowledge were all setting bells off in my head but I couldn’t put my finger on why it was so familiar. Then I saw your father and it all made sense. OMG THATS DALE’S KID…! he was hands down my favorite on AP and such a wealth of knowledge with so much passion it was infectious and I don’t even ride man. It saddens me deeply to learn of his departure however it makes me ecstatic to see that he’s passed the torch to you and that you’re keeping the spirit alive. Many blessings brother and you’ve got a new sub. So stoked I stumbled onto your channel!
A new WTT video. Makes my day that much better.
It makes me smile every time you drop another video. Thanks!
Truett and Osborn is in Wichita Kansas, not Topeka. Very cool old shop. Paul is still manning the counter. Great video!
doing a video on this shop can be great idea. i've a Truett & Osborn flywhell on my 347
When i was a kid i sandblasted flywheels at Truett and Osborne and paul would come to the back and get me when a fine lady would come in for a free shirt. Seen alot of boobies in that shop
Me and my son are making the ride to the museum this Saturday. His whole life as a toddler and little boy (he'll be 11 next month) we would always go to the Harley Dealer and he would sit on the bikes with me and we would pretend we were on a ride somewhere. Well last July I made a lifelong dream come true and i got a Harley. Its an 03 wide glide. We absolutely love riding together and when I told him about wheels through time he said dad we gotta go. It's only about a 2 hr ride from us. we are both super excited about it.
Wide glide is a good bike nice place to start. Harley are like lays chips. Can't have just 1. Ive got 3 looking for my next project 1989-91 fxr.
@DanBeanner-zo3ms right on brother. I honestly love my wide glide. It handles really well and doesnt feel heavy at all. I had 0 issues adjusting to it. Youre right about cant stop with just one lol. I'm actually going to look at a sportster 1200 tomorrow to build a chopper out of with my son. Good luck on your project and keep er on 2 wheels.
You two have a great time! Memories, dude.
And good luck with your new bike. My son and I are meeting there in June. He riding down from Tennessee with his veteran club. I am coming up from Georgia. Making Memories.
As a father, I really do hope you and your son have a great time !
@@kevinhogan715 we had a blast. That place is absolutely overwhelming and the staff were beyond cool
The both of you will be overwhelmed! You are, truly blessed, being only 2hrs away ! It will honestly take, more than one vist , to absorb the Museum! The amount of passion that has been put into this Museum, will truly be heartfelt! Moments and memories of a life time ! God speed and enjoy! Thank you, Matt and the staff , for your hospitality and preservation of, American Freedom! Wheels Through Time #1
Dale, we had the pleasure of meeting last fall at the swap meet in Davenport, Iowa. Years back before I realized the joy in having an all original motorcycle, I built a 45 from scratch. I bought a basket 1968 engine from the St. Paul, MN motorcycle escort service for $80. I then proceeded to build a complete two wheel 45 bike. I am sure parts are from many years but it is probably the only two wheel 1968 45 cu in motorcycle out there. And you know why. That being said, maybe it's time you built a 45 cu in bike for the yearly give away. Hear me out. I think half your viewers/visitots are old geezers (like me), and kick starting a knuck or pan gets tougher as we age. A 45 on the other hand is way easy and while they are not good for rode trips, they are beautiful for around town (when it's not to hot out). So please think about it. Maybe you could even find the fan I seen on a MN state trooper bike that mounted to cool the cyclinder off.
I don't know how in the heck I never subscribed to this channel b4.. I have been a huge fan since the restoration show.. I just absolutely love your dad. The time,care, and passion puts into and exudes from him when fixing these bikes is un- measurable. I go back to seeing the grinch when they measure his heart and the magnifier explodes as his heart just grows and grows that is your dad to me.. Just an amazing man saving one piece of iconic motor bike memorabilia at a time.. We appreciate you and your father as fellow bike connoisseurs and gear heads we we out here thank you for all you do and will do.
Thanks for watching!!!
I think it's great that you let your guys test ride as well as you. Can't wait till may to visit the museum again.
Matt takes a very quick look and knows everything that is original and what is not. What works together, what does not. Me after 30 min. still trying to figure out what I'm looking at.
The year I was born...... Congratulations you'll do just fine🎉🥳
I'm with you on using ANYTHING, including the stick, besides Chumpion plugs. The only thing they're good for is plugging a hole.
damn dude, I have 1 51 WL motor, in my Servicar if I had only known...have a 51 G motor for it too...dang.
Man, lots of re-pop...sigh, I even have a stock primary... and I had no idea they were rare... I am in your system in NC, contact me if you need the engine, we can talk.

3& 2 kicks
IT'S ALIVE !!!
Sounds like you have exactly what Matt needs for this bike to be complete.

I truly appreciate the shout out in your video. Honestly, it wasn’t necessary but greatly appreciated. Lifetime Donor 101/Norm
What do ya say Norm? " It's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing milk bone underwear!"
Hey Norm, be proud you have some great ideas and you're willing to share them with other people! That's awesome!
This is so cool what Matt does and keeps wheels through time alive keeping his dad dream alive and legacy
Im younger and never had an intrest in older motorcycle. Im really big on motocross But Matt is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about these bikes it made me realize how cool these old bikes are. I love the mechanical side of these videos alot too. So cool to see how things were done like the cork float haha
Matt spoke of Dale and his backwoods cigars. I sat at WTT and smoked one with Dale and shared a conversation upstairs. Great day!❤❤
😊great sound ,allways such a special day when the bike starts and runs,after many years ,well done 😊
Matt always fun to watch you go through that place and find the parts you need to get something running. Great video!
I wish that I had found a mentor like this when I got out of the Army, I love preserving history and fixing old problems
I love watching a gorgeous old scooter like this being brought back to life.
Gasket hole punch set. Wish I had a set like that! We used them in the Navy.
You guys are machines working on machines. You each know so well what you need to do and you are such a great team you just boom boom boom from item to item. Amazing watching you work. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing Matt. GREAT job as always
😊
You guys are real masters at what you do, so rewarding to watch you guys,
Thanks guys for the great videos, following from Arizona.
I watch a lot of these videos & I think your Dad would be very proud of you and the direction the Museum is headed
I'm so glad you do this young man. Big thanks!
Riding down to the area from Massachusetts in Aug with a group of fellow vets we can’t wait to come by and check out the museum. Your knowledge is amazing love watching your videos
Love watching you guys work. Hope to visit before the end days. Keep up the good work.
Can't wait until the day I can visit your museum . Keep up your great effort and videos . Thank you guys very much .
Thanks for watching!
That was great, loved every minute. Thanks!
Well Matt the good news is I found the socket set I promised you on opening day this year, I also know where the uniform is. The bad news is the guy I wanted to bring down there doesn't look he's going to able to make it. No matter, I'll make the trip solo. Keep the good stuff coming I truly enjoy these videos. 4 kicks.
Pretty cool Matt and Chris! You two have forgot more than I'll ever know about old Harleys! It's great to see how great mechanic's work on these old bikes.
It's good to see you again! I've missed the videos!
Great to see talent breathing life back into a rare and very cool bikes. congratulations and great to see those stored tyres helping out the veteran bike owner; good on you!
way cool Dale a pleasure to see, your dad would been so Happy
That was cool to see Bob's bike again! I knew his brother Red quite well... definitely another piece of history!

I'm impressed, Matt you Rule Man. I wish I had 100,000,000 percent of your knowledge. I would consider myself a lucky man. You guys Rock my world Brothers. Thanks a heap for sharing and explaining by walking through everything. WTT is a blessing 🤘
Hi 👋, Great job, very interesting, keep up the great work, from France,
Enjoyed this. You know your stuff buddy thats for sure.
I just love these videos. Although I have a modern Indian I still like Harley especially the old ones you have. Ride safe guys and look forward to more videos. From the UK. 😎
This made my heart sing! Love these old girls!!!!
Best today. My water .......
Old school.
Love it God bless ❤ mick Australia 🇦🇺
You guys are my favorite channel along with tatro machine...
This summer I’m going to ride my bike from SE TN to your museum. I can’t wait to take it all in.
I have been following You and the museum for a long time. I appreciate what you do to preserve the past. My Dad was a tt flat track racer. He was a factory racer for Harley and Indian based out of Dothan, Alabama Dealer. When i was a child we still had a TT 450 Indian, part's were scarce and once the few nos parts were gone it sat, he slowly parted out most of it. I even put the front end and exhaust pipes to put on my 160 Honda Dream and Suzuki cafe with fiberglass tank, fenders and frame. People in our area used to bring Hartley's would being them in boxes and he would rebuild them from scratch. He even modified the magneto from an F104 airplane for a Harley on one.😂. Appreciate all you do.!
Thanks for watching! And thanks for sharing such cool stories about your dad!
for lack of an educated guess, I am going toss out the lucky number 13 one for every sibling, Great work and a great site as they say a professional makes their work seem easy. I am glad I stumbled onto your you tube site.
I love hearing you think out loud. I hear your process. Thanks for that. What do you give on a bike like this that isnt really all original? Really special bikes. 1901 wow! Cool to see. I have never seen anyone do that with a needle and seat. 3 to prime and 3 kicks to start.
4kicks 40:15
It's really awesome what you guys doing
FINALLY!!! Man I was looking for a reverse on my clutch to back and watch a new Wheels Through Time!!! Hell yeah love me some new episodes!
You have a beauty there!!!!
Well done 👍
Matt, its a joy to watch you and Chris perform surgery and work miracles bringing motorcycle royalty back to life...
I'm a young pup from scotland 🏴 just starting my harley davidson adventure with a baby sporter. Love you videos guys
Thanks for watching!
Super cool !! You guys are awesome.
So nice to see you ❤
-You guys are amazing!!
A few good memories of summers past. Loved riding with everyone
What a great educational video good work
There’s a lot of strike marks on the old carb bowl ❤
Great job guys ❤
Great video I’m not a fan of Harley Davison but love motor bikes. As a rider for 30 years in Australia
Year I was born/51, brought tears to my eyes to see it still has life! awesome.
Smiling!
You remind me of a friend of mine in Kansas City Missouri area now in Camden point mo. PJ aka Phil Jennings, knew more about Harley's than anyone I knew.
Great job you should keep it the way it is I like it
Such a cool place to hang out at. Great video.
Seriously it's a very cool show here, cause everybody love classic Harley boy's your the best thank's again for the video peace.
Yes, finally a new video ❤❤❤
Another Great Video !! 📹
Hiya guy's, excellent video & an excellent job getting the harley up n running...shweeeeeet. so please keep them coming GL&HF(goodluck&happyfilming) from Dulwich London England(✌peace✌)
This was six days ago and I swear I didn’t look, but I’m guessing the engine starts up in four kicks. I really enjoy watching someone that knows everything about what they’re working on. Some guys could have that bike for a decade and look at it and tinker with it and never come close. You guys just tackled it, every system, every part and banged it out quick.
Beautiful work guys
Many would agree that 1951-53 Harleys wore the most beautiful tank emblems H-D created. Everyone has their opinions (wrong as they may be) but still entitled. Love your show Matt, and you are a great promoter of vintage motorcycles. Keep up the noble cause.
That Kennet bike is amazing! I want one ❤
Amazing 1901... with new rubber
I didn't know Dale smoked Back Woods I loved those cigars yesrs ago , hopefully I will meet you Matt on June Ninth, riding over from Sweetwater Texas
I really like watching you two work on motorcycles . And I really had to laugh when both of you ,that dang hose seem to get in your way.🤦😂😂. And the way you acted with that one gentleman talking about the tires about them being on there, and saying Well I can't take them off 💪 Great to have people like that that lone bikes for the museum and you help them with parts
Man i could watch you do this every day
Wife and I are going to the smokies in June I am looking forward to visiting the museum !
Hey Brent, I just bought a 66 nova wagon, needs work, just sanded the surface rust off the body and put a coat of primer on it, your video gave me a few ideas on the best way to do it...enjoyed the video...Ralph
Wheels through time best way to end the day
I'm getting the great Allen Millyard vibes there @18:45 !
A real fun video!👍👍
Your father has taught you well, very enjoyable watching you work your craft, with your buds.
Indeed, it's really quite enjoyable to watch him work. wish I was lucky enough to learn under him. Even though I'm actually older than he, at 47... I would still feel like a young child, grabbing wrenches and watching over his shoulder at his every move. Asking why to each and every thing he does
WTT is a definite bucket list place to visit. I loved the two days I was there. Matt is a great guy.
I rode 936 miles to get there, and it was totally worth the trip.
Thanks for visiting! We’ll see you next time!
I thought I would die laughing. "I would use a stick before I used a Champion spark plug!"
I haven't heard that one in decades.
I remember when the came in 10 packs.. when I asked grandpa why he said if you were turning up a v8 you needed 10 cause at least 2 would be bad outta the box
boy watching you is a real testament to your fathers teaching.You dont miss a beat and you are at least your fathers equal or just a bit better when it comes to knowledge
All your videos are GREAT this 1 👍🏽🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🐺🎩🇺🇸
Incredible machines as always crazy!! 👍🏻💯🇺🇲
