Ain't but one kind made in my book, and we call them Hogs (Harley) ! Been riding them for 54 years, and love them! 👍🤠 My first was a 59 Panhead that I chopped, still had it until someone stole it not to long ago. I still have the title to it!😢
I brought back lots of U and UL80's and 74's from Mexico back in the late 70's, early 80's. That was way before the internet and prices started skyrocketing. Now everyone thinks they're worth their weight in gold!
This one came from Guatemala. It was bought & brought by "Pronto" who lived in El Salvador. He delivered it to N. Calif. back in the late 80's - early 90's. I have the license plate from Guatemala. Last registered there in '78. Did you notice the KPH speedo?
Yes it is! This bike was brought back to the states from Guatemala. Near as I can tell I have it geared to top out at 65 - 70 MPH. If I ever get pulled over and the cop asks "Do you know how fast you were going?" I can honestly say "Not really." ;-)
Looks like it. I had to back off due to traffic. I have it geared to do 90 tops. But I'm not sure how accurate the speedo is. It seems to kind of hang up @ 90 kph.
@@mrsmith1179 a distância é de 140 km , minha velocidade de cruzeiro é de 75 a 80 miles/h , mais ja cheguei a colocar 110miles/h a caráter de teste numa longa reta , ja cheguei a fazer 790 miles em um unico dia com ela
I had a 48model ,last year Flathead 80... loved it..
80 cubic engines were only built between 36 and 41, dont know how you had a 48/80 unless it was bored out by someone.
You sure about that?
@@michaelbenardo5695 Yes I am, only the 74 inch was still available in 48.

I like my engines, beer, roads and women flat. Nice ride!

Hey Mark love the sound of the U 80 inch.
Let's make a video of yours Bill.
@@mrsmith1179 someday soon
That is a real Harley.
My first 48 Indian Chief went 90mph (per speedometer) then the oil drain plug unscrewed and fell out while racing a '40 Merc.
Sounds like a good song in the making there!
Wow this bike has the same displacement as modern evo engine
Man thats a trip....
I was waiting for the full throttle lol.
Ya gotta realize an 80 year old stock HD "Flathead 80" was no ball of fire. ;-)
That’s full throttle?
Sweet flattie!
Thank You Quinton!
Is that a kph or mph speedometer? I mean 195 top mark, no way. I do truly love these old Harley videos and this one sounds and runs great!

Ah, the sound. When you can tell you're really riding a motorcycle, a Harley.
Did it hit 80 km/ hr ?

Flattie!

Tenho uma Flat head 74" 1948 , amanhã de manhã vou fazer 140 km com ela
Estou impressionado com essa velocidade! Espero que você não precise parar logo.

@@lokaowolf Muito impressionante!
Dear God that's slow. But I guess back in 1941, going 65mph was damn near unheard of.
Ya got that right! Paved roads were unheard of until after the war. ;-)
I could gear it up to go faster but with little or no brakes . . . . and I mainly just put around the back roads limping along in third gear.
Not so. We had a 55 MPH speed limit in the 70s.
Not true.
Not really, unless you drove a Chevy.
