Nice grab on the fender. A guy with your knowledge could pick up items that most guys would have no idea what it is worth or even what it is. That has to be a lot of fun for you to walk around and just look for that holy grail item and then try to contain your excitement when you find it.
Awesome video,I was working with Roger Smith taking down George Swim’s skating rink in Marion whenever Dale bought out George’s dealership. That was in the winter of 91 or 92. Roger started hanging around George’s when he traded his Cushman scooter for his first Knucklehead,as the owner was pushing it home on Route 37. The Swim’s dealership was in Energy Illinois,the building is long gone as the property is part of the Energy park now. George has since left us,and unfortunately we recently lost Roger as well. I have to admit those two had some good stories on each other which included the Leapin Lena bike you now have. Again Matt,excellent video and history to go along with it. 👍
That mini Excelsior belonged to my buddy's family. They owned a package delivery service in prewar Lexington KY and eventually opened the first Harley dealership there as well. That bike was built for my friends older brother in the 30s. They also built a mini bike in the 50s from a Harley Hummer with small wheels They called Putt-Putt.
Nice to see the way they have been doing the later models top ends with a different bottom end same way people put evo heads on shovel bottom shevo was the rage 30 years ago. Hotrodding is doing it with what you have nothing but pieces of the puzzle and how to make it fit these one off mutts are my favorites
Matt , Your awesome. Bought a fender for $225 and shortly after sold it for $600. I can’t believe that the guy went for it at $600. Now I know that the museum is in good hands. You’re a very good business man. You dad would be so proud of his son because you’ve got what it takes in this modern world to make it happen. Watch you every day and enjoy the education that you give me. 😊
There is never enough money. I would love to buy everything there. Looking for a 1957 Panhead to replace the one I got run over on 18 months ago. Great video my friend.
I've been going to the AMCA meet in Oley, PA from the beginning. I've seen something I've never seen every time. Bikes from marques I've only seen in books, or never heard of at all. Last weekend of April!
Your mark up on parts is ridiculous. He was seeing that fender in candy. I like it better than the chrome strut plates on all late models. The tail light probably worth as much as the fender, and harder to find.

WOW Dude a lot of stuff in the bone yard🤩👀....Thanks👍 from Shoe🇺🇸
Love the way you flipped that fender! Good job Matt
Swap meets are great. Nice job on the fender, Matt.
I might miss understand the price he pay on that fender was $240, and sell it for $600?
"The beard of knowledge " too cool Matt, I can never get enough of it. See you in July.

Thanks Matt for showing us around ! Love the fender deal !!!!!
Reselling that fender was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! You are the wheelerdealer!!!!!
I love how you always find the parts you say you can't find.

This is my favorite channel on TH-cam by far. Thank you for sharing.
WOW, all them old parts ( drooling me). Wish I had known about this event when I was rebuilding my "Knuckle" back in the 80s.

No kidding! Man how cool is it that we can find out stuff like this! Than you for sharing that information with us all.
Awesome video. Thanks for the walk-around Matt.
What!!! Wow Matt, what a flip of the fender. I didn't see that coming.
At 5:00 starting up that bike sounds great
Nice deal on the fender, dude! They don't call it a swap meet for nothin'!😂 ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
That was awesome,was like I was there right with ya'! More footage!!! Could have watched for a few hours!
Glad you got some deals, and made some deals!
Cool bike's!
Thanks for sharing this adventure ✌️ 😎
I can almost see your Pops proud grin from his AWESOME work shop in moto heaven
Sweet flip at the end there mate lol. Enjoyed seeing what a swap meet is like in the states!
Excellent whellin’ and dealin’ !!!!

I love the flip on the Fender LOL Easy profit !

Matt your one of the coolest people on the planet!
Matt’s hands aways dirty. I love it. My kind of guy.👍🏼
Paid for your parts with someone else's money 💵 great job Dale is smiling ☺
The simplicity of Ichiro’s flathead custom reminds me of Villiers 125 that I used to borrow from a friend in Jogjakarta.
I was at that swap meet (next to Cabbage Patch) last month. A lot of cool stuff there!
Love your work
Excellent flip! Love watching the TH-cam channel!
well, I guess you just flipped the hell out of that fender didn't you.... well played, sir.
amazing fender 🤩😜👍
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
"Ill do 2 and a quarter..." matt sounding all beat up 😂
Nice!! Matt!!
Great job on the fender man!
"$225 for the Fender." 5 minutes later, "I'll give you $600 for it!" That's a quick $375 if I ever saw it!! Hope that guy don't see this video! Lol
That's money towards the museum I'm sure 👍👊🇺🇸
I guess that's why I'll never be rich, I couldn't do that. If I get a good deal, I like to pass on the deal to the next guy, maybe make $100.
poor lady didnt have a chance.lol love it
Cool bike, that front end if i'm not mistaken looks to be an Ariel front end.
Love how when the video starts your hands are already dirty. Hell yeah brother.
Awesome Matt 👍
I have followed you for many years, and have a question if you also like newer Harleys like EVO and Twin Cam. Thank you so much for your videos!
Swims Harley Davidson brings back some home town memories.
I love your videos they are always great
That was a good flip dam home run
I like it from across the waves in Aus.
Like this video that small bike was cool
Now that’s what I’m talking about, but a fender for $225 and turn around and sell it for $600. Good job!!
I woke up my girlfriend, screaming at the phone,
" MATT, THE HAT " ,as soon as you took off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This channel is legend.
Cool!
Definition of too much fun!
Great video mate 👌
нет слов ,супер!
Please make longer videos.
Interesting transmission on that RL. Side cover didn’t look stock
Nice man
How do I get on the list to know when and where they have these shows?Also do you build and sell bikes?
I would say you did damn good from 2 and a quarter to 600! Smoking
Matt, is there a Douglas motorcycle in the museum?
Now that is how it is done.
sifting through 'rust' on a fine day has gotta be better than playing golf.
Wots golf
@@michaelcurnow2748 I was wondering that too! I think it's a swap meat?
Cool video man.
Least my swap meet neighbors Massey and Gilly made the cut!
Always felt like frank had an edge in the field games on that bike too
Hahaha.... good deal on that fender!
Awesome video… man you didn’t have to carry that fender but a few minutes to make a few hundred dollars…haha thanks buddy…
Those guys that bought the fender are gonna have quite a ‘laugh’ when they see this video ;)
theres a guy in Louisiana who bought all of the NOS B&H footshifters from the manufacturer
Awesome
Groetjes uit Nederland 🇳🇱, leuk kanaal Matt.
Where can I find the dates for the next swap meet out there?
9:35 You find a new york guy with a friend named Rocko? You keep 'em around.
That bike you rode sounded strong
What the date of this ?? Mattt
You are not a good man 👨 you are a great man that was flipping awesome bought a fender for 2and a quarter and sold it for 6 awesome brother
$225 to $600 that’s a solid margin. Good for you
That just shows you. You can make money off everything, all depends what the next person is willing to pay
Great video bud hope that lady doesn't watch shes gonna be mad hahaha
Hello mate 👍
The guy that asked about the fender looked liked your father when he was younger.
👍
Had a guy called ichiro Honda come over to Australia as an exchange student in Eden nsw wonder if it’s the same guy 🤷♀️this was in the early 90s
🤘🏼
You paid $225 for the fender then sold it 20 minutes later for $600. That doesn't happen very often.
😎😎😎
Oley is way better Matt, hope you can make it up my way next month.
An old racing setup.....1️⃣🔼3️⃣🔽
How come Frank didn't let you ride the tiny bike?
$225 to $600, fn crackup. I guess the trick is knowing what stuff is worth.
Bring a milk crate next time .
That guy is going to watch this video and see where you payed 225 for that 600 dollar finder you just sold him. LOL
Your mark up on parts is ridiculous. He was seeing that fender in candy. I like it better than the chrome strut plates on all late models. The tail light probably worth as much as the fender, and harder to find.
LoL.. Some profit for the fander...
Great buying and selling..
So where is your dad at
HELL YEAH FIRST COMMENT!!!
