I wonder how popular a series where once a month, he releases a video where it just blabbers on about various motorcycles with no real purpose in mine, just talking, and sharing his knowledge. I think Id watch it.
Thought the uneddited bit at the beginning was comical, not everyone is perfect n this makes me respect the channel more ngl, it shows how much work can be put into these videos
Matt, just learned of your father's passing. You have my most sincere condolences and my utmost respect. Dale's encyclopedic knowledge and passion for motorcycles has most certainly been passed down and lives vibrantly through you. Thank you to Dale and yourself Matt.
Every morning I can click on a WTT video and learn something new about transportation history before I even get out of bed in the morning. How cool is that.
Wow ! Your a pro dude ! The PASSION you have and put into these videos, is spectacular ! Your heart and soul, really shows. There could be no one better for to represent the museum...
Hey! I had a 1948 WLH. Bought it from a Harley dealer that bought a railroad car packed with MilSurp WLH machines. They were "brand new" never assembled scooters. This was 1966. I was in high school. He cleaned off the cosmoline. Painted the frames black. Springer front fork. Painted them various colors (red/white, blue/white, green/white, black/white, white with various color accent striping. Mine was black/white. In 1966 for $350.00 I rode it home. My all time favorite Harley. I always liked the side valve Harleys. Not speed burners but always got me home.
Matt (the luckiest guy in the world) puttin in work. Wonderful to see his passion for the bikes AND how he presents them to us. I’m impressed. KEEP IT UP YOUNG MAN.
I like seeing how dedicated you are at giving a great presentation. Once this pandemic has eased going to make the shore to shore trip to see WTT. Back in the 80's had a 49 WL as my primary transportation. Loved it! Now wish I'd never sold it. Unless I can find a basket case, I'll never be able to afford another.
Having been at Wheels thru time and watching Dales adventures with Whats Behind the Barn, My sincere condolences to the family. We lost a wonderful historian and person. Peter Adely
Thanks for doing these, I really enjoy the knowledge and the awesome bikes you share.. Glad you left in the 1st run and didnt edit it out.. Hope to see you in person soon.
Great adding in the false start...sorta like kicking over a flathead,,,third (second) times a charm... beautiful machine..it sounds like it's one of those that came off the line naturally perfect. like the magic is in it.. ah can't wait to get my 45 done...
Only been to WHEELS THROUGH TIME, one time, best time I have had a any kind of museum, or show. You and your crew make everyone way more intelligent about the history of motorcycles, and the culture that pushes it along. I will be back soon. You are exactly like your Dad , your knowledge is endless. Thank you very much for your hospitality when I was there. I love the way you start these bikes, and the way you ride them through the museum. I own a couple of later Harleys, but I love all things on two or three wheel s.
I know it s dad's collection ..but your the one we love to listen to ...we will see you soon ..Lord willing and the creek don't rise.. all ways watching from Oregon..
We appreciate how you take the time to get your narration right. Thank you! I'm not even a H-D fanboy but live classic bikes & good videos. Keep 'em coming!
Love this video Matt! Especially the beginning with you leaving in the outtake lol...Totally caught me by surprise! My first thought was wow he's human after all 😂 Would love to see more outtakes if you happen to have a few in the archives. Huge WTT fan and have it on my list for my vacation this year...Really looking forward to the ride from Detroit, Mi ~JC
what a wonderful time capsule of a great bike. funny, at the same time I thought ( @7:54 ) I thought, "Man, she is sweet." I like the entro. When you walked off - it threw me for a moment . . . great video, great bike
My first Harley was a 1941 45ci Sportsolo I got in 1969 I paid $300.00 for it. I worked on it for a year with the help of my cousin who was an old Harley mechanic. I had it one summer until a truck backed out in front of me and totalled it.
Hey Matt are you going to do some videos on later stuff? I'd like to see some of the later bikes you guys have in the museum. Some of those funky 70s choppers and custom stuff would be cool to see. Even some of the later stuff showing pans, shovels, evos, etc.
Love exhaust systems that start off with sewer pipes and end with water pipes. I've seen it on every vehicle imaginable. Some factory, most not factory.
My knowledge is sketchy, but if I'm not mistaken, they made a WL standard?, a WLC Canadian? WLR racing? and a WLA Army? Are these correct and did I miss any? In my youth I tore around on a stripped and repainted WLA with a 70s Triumph disc brake front end and a SU carby, retaining the foot clutch and gated gearshift. The little gem did 85 MPH flat knacker and would stop on a sixpence when you wanted it.
That is a absolutely gorgeous bike. I think harley should dip into there history book and remodel some old concepts like the big 3 have done with there muscle cars
Serious question: what did HD do to their engines after this model? This is the best sounding Harley engine I've come across. Why do all the modern ones vibrate, run irregular revs and basically sound unhealthy?
In some ways it’s because they started chasing larger motors as a way to make more power and seem better. Granted the modern harleys generally smooth out once you rev them a little, but all that weight slinging around is gonna shake. And, they’ve tried to play into the classic harley sound so I thing attention is made for that even if it isn’t for the best.
CUT!!! Take 2 and action!! Brother we could listen to you blabber on for hours! Wish i knew 1/10th of what you and your dad know
I wonder how popular a series where once a month, he releases a video where it just blabbers on about various motorcycles with no real purpose in mine, just talking, and sharing his knowledge. I think Id watch it.
To be honest, the unedited bit at the beginning seemed just fine to me.
Agreed.
i concur
same
still should have been edited out, Didn't need to hear the same thing twice.
Thought the uneddited bit at the beginning was comical, not everyone is perfect n this makes me respect the channel more ngl, it shows how much work can be put into these videos
LOVE the unedit! You are one of the BEST presenters on the planet, Matt!
hes a natural
NEVER edit that segment out. It adds to your character that is yourself. That raw emotion, and passion of wanting perfection is incredible.
I find original old bikes like this all the time in old barns and garages. Then I wake up and get in a bad mood. :-)
It’s your honesty & love for what you all do, is really what makes your museum what it is
I really like a beautiful restoration, but you just can't beat the cool factor of an all original gem like that one.
Ive been a motorcycle mexhanic over 40 years but only Japanese
Rode two stroke crotch rockets
Im 65 now and am drawn to these old bikes
I'm sorry you had to go through that much pain but you got a good experience with in the outbox and I variety is the spice of life

Really enjoyed seeing the effort and thought you guys put into making the videos right. Thanks for providing these for everyone to learn from.
Wow ! Your a pro dude ! The PASSION you have and put into these videos, is spectacular !
Your heart and soul, really shows. There could be no one better for to represent the museum...
Love the content keep it coming and your knowledge is so amazing when it comes to all types of motorcycles
I wouldn’t think something that old could run so smooth!👍
That Flathead sounds PERFECT
purs like a kitty🐈

I have never heard a more smoother running 82 year old Harley motorcycle in my life, absolutely awesome Matt! she is a beauty!

As always perfection from WTT stay well Matt and all . BOYS FROM SYR.
Good Vid. That's the sound of a 39 harmony with a 45 beat. A Beauty from the past.

I'm not even a H-D fanboy but live classic bikes & good videos. Keep 'em coming!
Sweet, great to see original master pieces like that Nite Owl
WOW! That thing runs AMAZING! virtually no vibration. What's the story with the keys hanging from the seat spring?
Just what I was thinking. When did Harley stop making smooth running motors?!?
Great show 👏 love when you start em ....beautiful bike.Cant Harley make these again?
Thanks for sharing the Blooper Loved it , Much Respect Peace & Love to you ALL !!!!
For all the hard work and attention to detail, Thank you
Good honest looking machine. Running sweet as.
Thanks for sharing again.
Prayers to Dale's Family..
How about some info the Night Owls? What's the correlation with this WL?
This is a Beautiful Surviver... Thanks for Sharing
Glad to see you’re trying to make these videos top notch , thanks for all the great content Matt!!!!!!!
thanks for showing the side
Your enthusiasm is infectious wish I could get to the museum in person but that’s not going to happen any time soon if at all
Amazing I love the way you cut away but kept recording lets everyone know how much you really care about these bike to just want to get it right.
Very very cool.....cant wait to visit in person
Your presentation is flawless even with the flaws! Keep up the great job Matt! Kudos to you and all at WTT for your dedication!
Love this video Matt! Especially the beginning with you leaving in the outtake lol...Totally caught me by surprise!

Huge WTT fan and have it on my list for my vacation this year...Really looking forward to the ride from Detroit, Mi ~JC
Amazing knowledge! Keep em coming!
Awesome bike thanks for your walk thru time✌
Cool, so dam cool - great looking machine - thanks all for these postings
Thanks for leaving the out takes. Fabulous channel
Love the unedit.
Awesome bike, too.
My God!! Thank you for presenting our history ❤ and preserving the passion. Video was fine you are the first PHD, of HD I know😎😎😎
what a wonderful time capsule of a great bike. funny, at the same time I thought ( @7:54 ) I thought, "Man, she is sweet."
I like the entro. When you walked off - it threw me for a moment . . . great video, great bike
That bike sounds amazing !
Love this show,sr. More now 👍👍👍👍👍😎
fantastic... this style is untouchable...what would be the equivalent model today?
Man! You are a pro! A perfectionist and I'll bet your dad (Dale lol) is awful proud of his boy! As he outta be!
And here I thought you were the king of the "one takes". "Authentic motorcycles preserved by authentic people" should be on a tee shirt you offer.
What an amazing bike. I love it!
Amazing bike. Never heard one that quiet.
Perfect - l can't believe how quiet (gear/chain) this bike is...this bike Is Right 👍
Fantastic bike ! Thanks for sharing
Fascinating Dale, really enjoyed that, thanks
very nice and rich sound!
Thank you very much for the video material. Your videos are very interesting and informative.
My first Harley was a 1941 45ci Sportsolo I got in 1969 I paid $300.00 for it. I worked on it for a year with the help of my cousin who was an old Harley mechanic. I had it one summer until a truck backed out in front of me and totalled it.
Wow , she's smooth as silk

Great bike. Great shirt too!👍❤️
Ridiculously entertaining. We're all coming down this summer from Ohio. Can't wait to see the museum. Hope you guy don't mind BMW riders.
Wow and it still runs!
The history of this particular machine would be nice to know. How did it remain so intact, and with so few miles?
loved keeping the out take in the video. great stuff
Those older bikes have way more character than the newer bikes and are much more attractive.
Unbelievable things like this is still found
Oh Damn... I LOVE it... so sweet. Thanks WTT
Haha, Unedit was good. Funny, but I was confused for a second! lol
What a beauty
Safe rides 👍🤜
Love what you all do ,keep it up.
Wonderful bike's and presentation keep up the great content
What or Who were the Nite Owls?
Pride in your work. Like this channel more!
Love exhaust systems that start off with sewer pipes and end with water pipes. I've seen it on every vehicle imaginable. Some factory, most not factory.
I was just thinking “Man this guy is good and this is all one take! “ right when you stopped for a ‘retake’. You were doing fine!
Absolutely awesome machine!
I would have loved to to pick that one up before you you did lol ... Great MC!
holy moly that bike sounds so good
The motorcycle world has lost an icon. RiP Dale.
My knowledge is sketchy, but if I'm not mistaken, they made a WL standard?, a WLC Canadian? WLR racing? and a WLA Army? Are these correct and did I miss any?
In my youth I tore around on a stripped and repainted WLA with a 70s Triumph disc brake front end and a SU carby, retaining the foot clutch and gated gearshift. The little gem did 85 MPH flat knacker and would stop on a sixpence when you wanted it.
Thanks and keep WTT going
That is a absolutely gorgeous bike. I think harley should dip into there history book and remodel some old concepts like the big 3 have done with there muscle cars
They have 75 different models now. Lol
@@redtobertshateshandles yes but that classic hard tail with that look
How is Dale doing, not seen him in a while.
Were the Nite Owls a club, or the motorcycle model? Couldn't find anything on Google about it. Just some comic book stuff and more about this bike.
Yes, leave in the parts you normally edit out! Or heck, keep them for an end of the year video.
Serious question: what did HD do to their engines after this model? This is the best sounding Harley engine I've come across. Why do all the modern ones vibrate, run irregular revs and basically sound unhealthy?
In some ways it’s because they started chasing larger motors as a way to make more power and seem better.

Sounds amazing!
That's one sweet bike 👍👍🇨🇱
