Matt I met your dad a couple of times, he treated me like he knew me for years...I'm happy you adsorbed the knowledge from your father...The museum and history is in good hands...I hope you can groom another generation to carry the torch for you father and the history of American Motorcycles.
UMG... I've been involved with Harleys for over 50 years, this is the first time I've ever seen one complete!
I’m 71 yoa; I was ridding Harleys at 16 yoa, a 1952 K 750 cc side valve (KITT) and a 45 cubic inch ‘45 W. Fork years you and your Dad have been my inspiration to travel back to my youth and relive those thunderous V twin memories; thank you so very much!
I’m cleaning the drool off the floor as I type. What a beautiful example of motorcycle history, thanks!!👍🏻😃
LOL! I can see it!
Harley Davidson , maybe retro a new one , classic and simple . Low power and jocky is real motorcycling
Me too
I was blessed with a 1937 bike--74 cubic inch. I drove it to work at Philmont Scout Ranch in 1966,
Being an old school Harley guy, never heard of this UMG bike. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge and beautiful bike.
Matt's genuine enthusiasm and knowledge continues to takes Dale's love of these machines to a new level, beating all the other HD aficionado channels hands down., IMHO.
I think I have learned more about history by watching you. I have been a bike guy since I was 8 years old when I saw the wall of death in 1968.
Yep, 1969, 9 years old and my "cool" aunt took me to see Easyrider. Got a 500 Trophy at 15, first Harley at 18, and never been without a HD since. Indians have been in there too!
Love the history of all these old banger
Dude, you have the best jackets and sweaters. Thank you to the staff and volunteers at Wheels Through Time for all the work you do.
A Walking HISTORY BOOK ! DAD IS VERY PROUD SON !🙏🇺🇲💪
I'd say the best part of all these bikes is to sit there and just go through the whole bike trying to understand the ingenuity of the machine how everything was created and put together and make it work to take an idea and bring it to life I just got into the hobby of building motorized bycicles and it takes a lot of work to put these bikes together the best part for me is to modify parts and make it all work the best part in the end is the ride to hear the engine
Mark is a lucky guy, growing up with Dale for a father. Very informative. 😁👍. Thx.
I love hearing about old Harley and Indian rivalries! Beautiful machine! Thanks for posting!
Fell in love with Harley's reading Street Chopper magazine back in the 70's while in high school . Love these old bikes , true works of art . Thanks for sharing these great bikes with us !
I love the look of the large radius tire on those old bikes. Very little space between the frame and the forks and fender.
I love the museum! In 2019 a group of us were on a road trip from Wisconsin and in the area however we were running late. You guys stayed open late for us to take a look at the museum. This trip was cut short to race back home to Milwaukee for a job interview. Keeping in with the motorcycle themed week, I got a job a job at the birthplace of many of your displays. I hope to come back and spend a day at the museum in 2021.
I am so grateful for your Dad's passion and commitment to the history of motorcycles!
I'm also grateful you're carrying the torch that your father lit!
I learn something new every time I watch...
Damn, that bike sounds good!
interactive history,...... doesnt get any better......thanks Wheels Through Time.....well done as always......simply the best..!!!!
Crazy how Harley had a one year only 4 speed box in the 36VL ....ive only worked on 2 of them in 20 years.
Matt, I love your knowledge and delivery. Fantastic channel. Fell in love with motorcycles at the age of 6 in 1957 when my Dad’s friend showed up one day on an Indian.

Henderson were shut down by Schwinn because he wanted to concentrate on his bicycle business he was a lousy stinking bastards who closed the factory when they had a Year's worth of orders to go and the general manager try to arrange an employee buyout to save their jobs and their dealers because it was no one employment in those days beautiful racing motorcycles The nickel-plated Excelsior that was in the lobby we're all melted down for scrap metal Schwinn was a bastard who did not care that she put hundreds of people on bread lines when they could have been working such as capitalism in America
That's one amazing Harley glad to see that you have it and that it looks absolutely beautiful. What a Classic Harley 👌
Visited a few years ago, however the day we passed by u guys were closed. So i took a few pictures of the entrance. Beautiful flowers out front of your gated entrance. We will pass by again. Long ride from our Montreal home. Great web site!!!!
What an amazing piece of history and knowledge. Thanks for sharing
Once again guys thank you for bringing all this great 🏴
Hopefully you'll be open on Memorial Day Weekend..We'd love to see all of you again, love supporting all that you do to keeping these wonderful ol' gals running!!!
WOW! You only see these rare Harleys here, folks! Thanks again Matt!
I love this channel. Gives me hope and helps me relax. God Bless you for putting this together.
It would be a joy to own one like that. Way ahead of their time on so many different bikes. So cool to here all the history of these amazing machines. Thanks
It just blows me away these bikes start like they’re brand new out-of-the-box show room quality like they were just came out of the dealership yesterday
I love this place. Was the coolest places this Ontario boy stopped at on a motorcycle trip.
great bike harley-indian breed worked on many old bikes that mag is rare nice restoration enjoy all your bikes
You guys are the treasures for preserving these beasts!
Thanks for a very interesting bit of "Harley history". In my youth, I had a 1937 WL with a sidecar transmission, three speed with reverse, and enjoyed it enormously, wish I'd never sold it. Those old flatheads just simply run.
Truly a fantastic piece of history, I would love to have it parked in my garage, a grezt lesson in motorcycle history.
Matt, You Nailed this video bro ! You did it’s rarity justice in the introduction of it !! Your videos are all great,, this Exceptional !!
Beautiful restoration and it sounds great. I would have to change the throttle to the right side though. Thanks for sharing the history.
BEAUTIFUL BIKE BEAUTIFUL COLOUR BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM
Classic memory's, I was going to be late for school and got a ride from,"Les the Biker"! He had a flathead Harley with suicide shift sissy bar and springer front end. When we got there I was surprised that a lot of girls there knew him! Harley was on menu for me after that day and I got a 2k sportster a special model with 2 spark plugs per head
OMG a UMG...! I just happened to own a U. Not original, but as close I could build it at the time. Love the big flats..😊
Absolutely beautiful HD thanks Dale
?
One that I never knew existed , it’s a beauty
Thank you for posting all this early H-D info that I always wanted to know about, but didn't know it yet! And thank you for saving this old harleys for all to see. I hope to visit your museum before long.

WTT, a fantastic place with tons of motorcycle history. Thanks Matt and Dale.
I really enjoy these informative videos and the beautifully presented motorcycles that all run, incredible 🤙🏻😎
I love these videos so much ! Thank you guys ! The history is as interesting to learn as the bike is to look at
Hey Matt!! This bike is incredible and I don't ever remember seeing it or if I saw it I didn't realize all the cool history about it being a NYC 'Indian copy'.
BTW I wanted to say I'm just so impressed with all the videos you and Chris are doing lately and how well you're covering the intricacies of Harley (and American v-twin) history
and how well you explain how this particular model emulates the police Indian!
Keep up the legacy Matt brother, being Lifetime Members we're so proud to stay involved (as much as we can) with you and the WTT Team!
Very well presented! Thanks,love the old Harleys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏 what a beautiful beautiful work of functional art
Love this show ! 🥰
Matt is a cool guy !
Love it!! And your doing a great job. Your dad was a great man!! Keep it up..
Positive video for the day , Love your Bikes and Videos .. Looks like you are the Man Now haven't seen your Dad do a video in a while ..
Love how the HD gods just throw the glasses down and say let ride son!!!!
It's not unheard of for bids to be rigged by specifying features that only one manufacturer offers. I once saw a quote from fire truck sales guy who had just reviewed an RFP (Request for proposals). "I can't bid on that. That's a Pierce."
I'm a Harley fan just subscribed to your channel and have instantly become my favorite to watch. I have a 99 1200 sportster and a 92 softail that is a project bike. This is an awesome channel and look forward to your presentations it's really cool.
Love the bikes and the stories too so cool!
Neat piece of history Matt. Keep the good stuff coming.
Too cool.. glad you guys brought it back for everyone to see and enjoy
What a beautiful bike...... thanks for sharing 👏👍
Beautiful Harley-Davidson
ok... i got my bike thing out of my system...a long time ago ..but now it is back...this is amazing
Great video. Really enjoyed all the history behind this beautiful motorcycle.
I sure appreciate these videos. It sounds great.
Fascinating. You are very knowledgeable and present the info well.(I have owned a 1947 Indian "Chief" and a 1937 H-D "U".)
will ya'll be opening the museum this year ? i'm hopeful covid will be gone soon i want to make the trip down from Dinwiddie Virginia to experience your museum tc and happy new year
Gorgeous bike man.. just stunning. Sounds like beast too.
I really do give you guys a big thank you for doing these videos.
It has given me a place to escape all the hoopla going on.
These videos really make me appreciate my Evo Heritage I love hearing and seeing Harleys history !
Matt you sure do seem like a cool guy and I’m sure your knowledge is unparalleled all that information you have right off the top of you’re head
Another awesome bike and history lesson thanks Matt for sharing your knowledge with us and could you please explain how you get these bikes to start so easily hell I’ve got a 75 ironhead that will not start nowhere near as easy as that
Harry Sucher gave an account of these machines in his Book" Harley Davidson: the Milwaukee Marvel". You nailed it with all the alterations HD made to try and get the contract. Harry surmised that "perhaps" political shenanigans were at the root of HD not getting the contract. Possibly money was changing hands to steer the award of the contract. Just speculation, of course. 🙂 On the gearbox that came with my first H-D, a 46UL, there came a 3speed with reverse. This was a '37 marked case with a "R" on the shift lid. This had the early gearset for a 3sp/rev. where all gears were "dog" shifted. The shift drum was the 4speed one and the shifting dogs were the 4speed 1-2 one for 1st and rev, and the 3-4 dog for 2-3 in the reverse box. I'm thinking that if Harley did put a 3 speed in the UMG, it would have been that earlier version, with shifting dogs for all 3 speeds, a great improvement over Indian's offering.
Can you verify that? Just a matter of curiosity on my part. I kept that 3sp/rev for many many years and never understood why when HD did the 1939 funky 4 speed transmission they also downgraded the 3sp/rev with the sliding gear version, maybe to sorta match the 4speed?
At any rate, they never went back to the earlier version of the 3sp/rev with "dog" style shifting.
I rode that 46UL with the 3sp/rev box for years as a solo machine, the only claim to fame with that rig was being able to back the bike into the local watering hole one night and fog the place out 🙂
I have a friend who has and rides a 45 u police bike, has the speedometer to track speed and all the other police add ons.
I love these old bike have you ever heard of Beaulieu motor museum hear in the UK it's a lovely collection mostly owned by lord montagu I had chance to visit befor covid I was so blown away I was in a depressed state befor I went but no one eles in my family cars for motors but I had a good time non the less thanks for you videos there insperational I realy want a teen era bike any make or model will do me I have all type of bikes but my oldest is a mint yammaha passola original 3km 1980s
Beautiful....and sweet sound
Hi Matt, I like your black fitting jacket wish could have one like yours.
What a bike... thanks for the story.
Lover the museum. Killer show. Thanku for all u do
I would love to see one of these classic bikes in person you would never see these bikes in Ireland
What a story. What a rare bike.
Thanks for watching!
Matt, you are a wizard, thank you!
It sounds amazing Matt! Wow!
I have seen one in a private collection that is all original. the one you have is the second one I have seen in my 58 years
One word,BEAUTIFUL!!!
Could you imagine a car company doing so much to directly copy a competitor’s setup to get a contract? Like Ford moving its distributor to the back of the engine block to be like a Chevy?
Thanks Matt
I love your videos, I just wish What's In The Barn was still being made.
If I owned that ,I would be riding it to work tomorrow,, gorgeous.
It's an absolutely beatiful looking bike
Nice. I have to make it down there one day soon!
What a beautiful bike!
Great informative video Matt!! Thanks for posting up.....
Did this collection start with your dad or was your Grandfather involved in the beginning. Who ever started it, props to them, Great collection, and history. I had two Harleys, I am not a Harley fan by no means, but I do find it fascinating of all their accomplishments.
My father rode from Ohio to Yellowstone in 1937 on a '37 U. And I wonder if those UMGs were available to the public? I seem to recall my dad using some extra designating letters when he referred to that U.
Is that right hand shift for a left handed cop? Not sure if they got to special order them
Great piece of history
Hey Matt, as a fellow bike lover, make sure you have a very good fire suppression system. I would cry worse than a babie.
