i feel like im a kid back in school upon seeing a new video/tutorial pop up. IT NEVER GETS OLD... thank you Matt and Thank YOU WHEELS THROUGH TIME...!!!!!
Wow. That give away pan is the nicest pan I ever saw. Simply flawless. That all original black pan is unbelievable. The stories it could tell if only she could talk. Great video.
This is so awesome. Got my tickets already.....I have a fondness to the 48. the owner of the first automobile dealership I worked for had a 48 that he was restoring. He took a liking to me and my love for motorcycles. I was 16 and working in the parts dept in 1987, he had me shagging down parts, sending things out for chroming and locating leather repair...we are in upstate NY had the seat done in TX.He was a hard ass to those who didn't get to know him, but the things I learned.
I saw the title & IMMEDIATELY heard "on a steel horse I ride" in my head. I'd keep this bike in my bedroom, & as I'm single, no one would tell me no :) You mean "November, 2021" right?
chemxfan Can i just say, im a girlfriend to a harley lover, and if he wanted, he Can bring it in the bedroom, i asked him if he wanted, he could have it in the livingroom in the wintertime... so perhaps, you could have both ?! 😜
Hey Man, One day Some day I hope to own a 1955 Pan Head as that was the year I was Born. And the best news is that I have plans to visit the Museum this year 2024. Keep up the great work Matt, I'll see you soon.
I have a soft spot for Harley Davidson ever since doing research for Harley Davidson UK as part of my post graduate studies in 1991. I would have loved a career with the company as I would never have moved to another job.
When I pass on to Valhalla, I will ride this steel machine into the great hall of my Forefathers. It will have a place of honor amongst all who are there............
Great shop and, cycle. I wish I would be able to to have a 48’… the wishbone is always my favorite bucket list. I always tell my woman that, one day I hope too have one. Good luck too all you guys.
Thank you for another fantastic video, could you do a video on some of the swapped head bikes like pan knuckles, pan shovels and the 45 magnum please? I know you guys love restoring them to original but at one point riders were doing those mods to older bikes to get more power out of them, also could you do a video on strokers when you get the chance as my grandads 45 had the larger 74 flywheel to get more power out of it. Thank you again for creating such great and highly informative videos
0:42min-Hi Matt,I think it`s an61cui engine in original.The74cui engines started with the"Late Shovel"models in the1970s-I think so. Great"Thank U"4 the videos and greets from Brandenburg/Germany
That sucks, I live in Pennsylvania and I have a friend who went to Sturgis one year on a bike that he'd put together from a wrecked Softail that an insurance company totalled out and he bought, he had to buy a new aftermarket frame for it and as is standard practice it came with a "bill of origin" for the frame since it had different numbers than the engine, like a vehicle's title you don't carry it with you, you keep it in a safe or safety deposit box or whatever. On the way out him and the rest of the guys from my town that went together all got pulled over and hassled by Iowa State Troopers while passing through there, they took everyone's registration and checked the numbers of both the engines and frames on everyone's bikes, when they saw the numbers on his frame they confiscated his bike. So after spending the week at Sturgis without a bike he had to ride bitch on the back of someone else's bike all the way back, then after sending the Iowa State Police a notarized copy of the bill of origin for the frame they dropped the theft charges that were pending and released the bike but he had to pay towing and storage fees to get the bike back, after making all the arrangements he had someone give him a ride in a car all the way back out to Iowa, when he got there he found out that those pricks out there had sawed through the neck of the bike, it was essentially in two pieces leaning up against the fence of the yard that had it, then he was screwed because he had no way of getting it home because he'd been given a ride in a car out there so he had to come back to Pa to get someone with a pickup truck to drive out there and get it, and he also had to pay additional storage at the yard that had it, what a bunch of no good pricks the Iowa State Police were for doing that to him.
Nice bike. I had a 48/49 Panhead. First year of hydraulic front forks. I bought in 69 as an ex Virginia State Police bike. It was 3 speed with reverse. Unfortunately I made a chopper out of it and rode it all over the US. But that is what one did in those days!
49 was the first year for the glide front end but the were also some 49's that came from the factory with the springer front end, the first 2 weeks of production were still made with the springer and it could be ordered as an option throughout 49.
Pick me! Pick me! My step dad used to be the editor for Iron Horse magazine back in the 80's. He started out freelancing doing illustrations for biker magazines in New York City. Him and my mom moved from Arkansas to New York when I was a kid, and then one summer she kidnapped me from my grandma's house and took me back to Brooklyn with them. She called my dad when we got to Kentucky to tell him what was going on. They had the cops out looking for me. Dad had called me in as missing. Once he knew where I was and that I was safe, he called off the cops, and I ended up spending the summer with my mom and David in New York. My mom was a singer/songwriter and she used to play in the bars and busk on the street up there. She had a band called The Arkansas Travelers, after the baseball team. David used to take me out on the back of his Harley Superglide. I don't remember if we took the bike this one night, but he took me to see Jurassic Park at the Ziegfeld theater in Manhattan. I remember one day David took me around town and we walked past the Hells Angels headquarters. I remember all those Harleys lined up in front and this one big muscled up guy was standing guard with his huge muscular tattooed arms crossed over his chest and a bandana over his face like a train robber from an old Western movie. Anyways, I always wanted a panhead so yeah...pick ME!!
The infamous David and Shaun Snow greatest editor of the best motorcycle magazine of the era . I still have 98 issues of Iron Horse with David as editor . ( Hammer su(#s)
@@ronalddauro563 Holy crap! That's awesome. Actually, David married Shaun who was my mom's best friend after my mom died in 1989. Here's footage of my mom singing on the Nashville Now tv show th-cam.com/video/WEhE0TTH06A/w-d-xo.html
1948 Panhead all-new motorcycle? Hardly that. Same spring fork. Same bottom end of the engine. Same transmission. Nearly same frame. Same fenders. Okay, new heads and jugs, new taillight and tank badges, but hardly all new, lol. Still a great bike and it was Harley-Davidson NOT making changes willy nilly in the Knucklehead/Panhead that makes those models so beloved yet today.
Sold my 1947 fl knuck several yrs back & kept my 2004 heritage classic , sure would like to win this pan & get back on vintage iron , l'm dropping coin .
We're do u get the tickets. ,?? I like all the info in this video. I don't do Facebook just TH-cam,and all I mostly watch is stuff about motorcycle. I'll b watching this channel more often.
I am 44 and it's just not in the cards for me to ever ride a Harley, I've wanted to own and ride one since I was just a boy of 3-4 years old. Throughout my life there have always been financial barriers, I am still poor, never have and never will own a new vehicle, to expensive. I will never own land or a house, Don't make enough money. Not educated enough to make a difference grew up in foster homes, mother died when I was nine, I'm am of first nations lineage. I quit school and have been on my own since I was 14, been in the work force since then as well. But being just a labourer I don't make alot of money. Not in a position to plan for retirement. Will most likely work until I can't Anymore. It's been a hard and difficult life but I keep on keepin on! Maybe some day I will finally "live to ride and ride to live" just glad there are people like you out there making it possible for some other unfortunate soul like me, to have the chance to ride like the wind. The only luck I have is bad luck lol! But I sure hope whom ever wins this bike loves it to the extent that it deserves. Bless you all ride on brothers!
Kills me watching your channel my bike that I've been building for over 7years has been stolen what was left to do was the wiring and tires it was probably my last bike I will never be able to do this again Love your channel Thumbs Up My Friend
The raffle ticket sales will run into many times more than what it's worth. And that is a good thing to help these guys keep this rich history of these machines open to the public.

I visited the museum years ago and had a blast. I want to come back someday to see what I missed. Thank you for producing these videos.
Always enjoy seeing these gorgeous machines and learning their history!
Great job on all your videos Matt, glad you are around to keep the passion alive.
What a beauty! You guys do it right! Thanks for the History lesson Matt!
Sorry to hear Dad passed on. My friend Gary Slifer, an excellent, knowledgeable old school mechanic talked about Mr. Walker often.

Congretulations for this incredible museum & extraordinary motorcycles 🤘👌👍
I saw the title & IMMEDIATELY heard "on a steel horse I ride" in my head. I'd keep this bike in my bedroom, & as I'm single, no one would tell me no :)
You mean "November, 2021" right?
I'm married, but I'm pretty sure my wife would MAKE me keep a panhead in my bedroom.
