Keep coming back to this video cause its sick! I dont ride, maybe one day in the future. But we need more content. Put up more riding videos and trips! Really like seeing the reactions people get of a badass chopper zooming by!!!!
Thanks so much for the comment I am trying to make more but with Sydney being in lockdown it makes things hard, cops everywhere and only aloud to travel 5klm from home. But more to come for sure👍🏻
@@MikeyForLife Looking forward to it man! Ive been to Australia once before. Went to Perth for a couple weeks. Im from California. Ever been out this way? You would love to ride around here!
@@technokids2492 I’d love to go to Cali someday. Never been to the USA. I’ll also be posting some music on this channel soon. Just a few bike related songs. Hope you enjoy. Have a great day. 💪🏼👊🏼
@@jimmartin7881 thanks. The frame is the stock 78 Flh frame, it’s been raked at about 3^. In this video I’m running a set of twisted struts but now I run a set of spitfire shock/struts that allow the swing arm to move and are a bit easier on my back. 👍🏻
@@jimmartin7881 Have you seen the spitfires? they look like struts but are shocks, you can see them in my other video of me kicking her over. I love them but they can be exxy if you buy brand new.
Thanks very much. This is riding through the eastern distributer in sydney. I will be making more videos soon of the area (on the bike of course) have a great day.
It’s actually not a rigid for that purpose, I run a set of spitfire shocks, very thin and look a lot like struts but work a charm. You can see them better in my other videos.
@@MikeyForLife Ah! Smart man! I see "78 Shovelhead" and instantly trust that it's a rigid, since that's a common thing, and I didn't see a visible suspension in the video. My apologies. Well played, sir!
@@MikeyForLife Thanks for the clarification, I believed that I was exclusively Nazi. I am Brazilian and I love motorcycles and roads.Now the jacket has regained its beauty ! Beautiful motorcycle. Health and peace to you brother.
Thankyou. And yes this originally had e.start but removed it after several issues and put the ignition switch in the primary hole where the coil was. Have a great day 👌
There is no denying it, they have their flaws 😂 not the most comfortable or reliable, but it’s kinda like beer I think, your first few ever taste like shit, but a few years later your in love 😂 Thanks for the comment. Have a great day🤙🏼
@@MikeyForLife I'm old now so I'm riding a Road King. Don't think my bones could handle one of those critters. It is a good looking bike. I like the paint you got on it. Really don't matter what anybody rides as long as you enjoy it.
Das Bike gefällt mir sehr gut, nice! 👍🏻 😃 Weniger jedoch, das Scheiss Haken Kreuz auf deiner Jacke..😆 Jungs, ihr seid doch langsam aus dem Kindergarten Alter...erweitert euren Horizont! 😉 Hier ein Ersatz Sticker für deine Jacke ☮️ 😜
Das eiserne Kreuz war ein Symbol der Tapferkeit, lange bevor ein dummer Diktator es annahm. es hat nichts mit einem Regime zu tun. es sei denn, so siehst du es.
@@MikeyForLife Perfekt, das freut mich ausserordentlich, wenn du diese Verbindung zum Kreuz hast!!🙌🏻 Wünsche dir weiterhin viel Spass mit deinem Bike! 🏍 💫😊
Please dispose of that digital POS on the handlebars. Trash like that doesn't belong on a bike like this. Oh yeah, the music sucks too. But it is a sweet bike. Love the bright paint and chrome. Fed up to here with YABOBs (Yet Another Blacked Out Bike)
Thanks for the feedback. I like the digital speedo because it’s removable and I don’t always run it, have not decided which way I’m going to go in that department yet. Still learning with the videos also.
I grew up on candy paint and chrome and my chops candy apple green with alot of chrome. Gotta dyna lowrider also with some chrome and everyone says I should black it out😕 Why so I can be like every other dyna on the road?
That would be because TH-cam does not allow you to use copyright music in videos so they give you a choice of free music you’re able to use and it just so happens none of that music is chart worthy. From now on I’ll be doing most my videos with no music at all.
@@MikeyForLife Yep exactly ! i look for vids with music , so i can play them while working in the shed. working on my bike , listening to cool tunes & watching bike vids 👌
dude, even i can feel how you enjoy the ride
haha yes, alot of fun. Thanks so much for the comment. have a great day.
Cool bike, cool music..luv' dem shovelheads !!
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed. Have a great day 👍🏼

Thankyou brother. I believe it will come true for you my friend. 👍🏻

@@MikeyForLife you too brother!
Nice Video
Thanks 🙏🏼
Nice scoot!
Thanks very much I appreciate it
I’ve been wanting to build one, a late 70’s shovel. All I’ve ever worked on is d.o.h.c. and 4 carbs mostly, I hope I can handle that big V-twin
I’d say for sure dohc and quad carbs are a lot more technical than a lego like shovel. Have fun 🤩 👍🏼
Thanks for the comment 👌
Beutiful bike..
Thank you very much 👍🏻
Grate bike I also own a 78 old school.is realy the best
Thanks 🙏
Dope ride. I got a sporty.
Cheers. I love sportys
Nice bike I wish I had one this nice I ride a Sportster
I’ve had many sporties they are amazing, I’m always looking for cheap ones to strip and rebuild.
Nice custom bike. Can't believe it, but I miss kick starting my bike. Electric start has made me lazy.
Haha yes kickstarting is always fun until it’s not. Electric is so much more convenient. 😂
Thanks for the comment 🤙🏼
this multiple security system shown before the engine is starting is nice😂
Linda demais!
Gracias 🙏🏼
@@MikeyForLife muita vontade de andar nela!

Super greetings to you also friend 🤙🏼👍🏻
Is it a bike you built? If so, nice work! Couldn't see, are you running a 5 speed in there?
Yes this bike was my COVID project. Thanks for the comment. It’s a ratchet top 4 speed. 🤙🏼
👌👏✌️👍
🤜🏼🤛🏼
Is that a digital speedometer on the front? If so where did you get it? I need one!
Yes it is a digital GPS speedometer (now legal in NSW) I got mine from JayCar
My man good looking shovel, you need a helmet that matches that paint job, that's just me?
Thanks very much. Haha you’re not wrong, and I do have my eye on one. 😜
@@MikeyForLife safer with the white one and i'd replace those struts with shocks otherwise a nice chopper for sure
@@glenmorton1527 those are shocks. Not struts. Thanks for the comment 😁🔥🤙🏼
Great bike and great ride, keep up the good work. Also, what is the name of the soundtrack?
Hey thanks for the comment I really appreciate it. The music is just a standard TH-cam creator choice. 👍🏻
That music sounds like steeldrivers. Am I right?
I’m actually not sure I just typed in groove in the TH-cam studio free music and this was one of the tracks 🤣
Stone walkers.
Beautiful ride...where are you?
Thanks very much. This is riding through the eastern distributer in sydney. I will be making more videos soon of the area (on the bike of course) have a great day.
YUPPIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuppie?
Looks good, but it sure looks rough to ride. I found out years ago, I can't do anything rigid.
It’s actually not a rigid for that purpose, I run a set of spitfire shocks, very thin and look a lot like struts but work a charm. You can see them better in my other videos.
Ps thanks for the comment 👍🏻
@@MikeyForLife Ah! Smart man!
I see "78 Shovelhead" and instantly trust that it's a rigid, since that's a common thing, and I didn't see a visible suspension in the video. My apologies.
Well played, sir!
me too I had 57 pan head hard on ass but 21 years old who cares back then
You wear any leather biker jackets, chaps or Levi’s jeans with your motorcycle??
I wear a leather jacket in the winter time. 😀
Very nice.. should have shown the bike in more detail.
Thanks I’ll try to add more of the bike in the next one 👍🏻
Beautiful machine.Too much traffic for me. I'd spit Copenhagen all over them.lol
Ya not wrong Sydney Sucks for air cooled bikes. 😒
Thanks for the comment 😁
What speedo and fork mount is that?
The Speedo is a legal gPs and the mount is just a clamp for easy removal. 👍🏼
That's a sick bike man what ci motor
Thanks very much I appreciate it. It’s a 1340
@@MikeyForLife hell yea
The iron cross on the jacket is out of fashion!
The iron cross was and still is awarded for bravery in many different cultures long before any douche bag dictator adopted it.
@@MikeyForLife Thanks for the clarification, I believed that I was exclusively Nazi. I am Brazilian and I love motorcycles and roads.Now the jacket has regained its beauty ! Beautiful motorcycle. Health and peace to you brother.
@@fernandocavalarianopatriota Thanks for your comments. Have a great day be blessed. :-)
@@MikeyForLife Amém !
girl @2:50 eye ballin you :P
Haha yeah I think it was the bike, but I’m not complaining 😂
@@MikeyForLife Part of the job buddy! Make sure you carry business cards next time hahaha
@@technokids2492 now that’s smart thinking 🤔 😂🤙🏼
Is that a 74 ci or 80?
It’s an 80👍🏻
That's really dangerous driving on the wrong side of the road dude.
Everyone else was doing it
I thought the shovel went to electric start in 76? Beautiful scoot. Ride safe.
Thankyou. And yes this originally had e.start but removed it after several issues and put the ignition switch in the primary hole where the coil was. Have a great day 👌
senti o cheiro de gasolina aqui de casa
How many traffic lights on a tank of gas 😱😬
Not sure. But it’s actually ok on gas. Have a nice day.
How much. Delivered.
.....that music, no!
Nice bike.
Still learning bro 👍🏻
I had a 78 HD, worst bike l ever owned. Leaked oil and just never ran good. Thank god for the EVO engine's.
There is no denying it, they have their flaws 😂 not the most comfortable or reliable, but it’s kinda like beer I think, your first few ever taste like shit, but a few years later your in love 😂

When chopper? 😢
I have plans
Name song?
Sorry but it’s a TH-cam creator studio free download, I’m not sure what it is.
Music?
The music is a standard “rites free” tune chosen from the TH-cam creator studio library 👍🏼
@@MikeyForLife Thank you.

Would have been nice with no music
No music and it would just be wind noise, you can’t hear the bike anyways.
@@MikeyForLife ........you should bud
why do people always have to put stupid az music on videos

Turn off the music ,it's not needed
Turn off your comments . It's not needed .
Not sure why people say turn off the music? Going at those speeds all you hear is wind noise u can’t even hear the bike.

Get rid of the stupid music i want to hear harley no music plusit toloud to hear thr bike
