Glad you ended up with your friends bike. Best way to remember him. All older bikes, to me, are interesting. I learn more evertime I watch your videos. Wahoo.!! 👍👍

Awesome bike, love it! My first Harley was a '79 Ironhead Sportster, I was riding the American Dream in Scotland and loved every minute I was on it! Tightening all the bits that shook themselves loose was all part of the experience lol!

Great classic Sportster Fuzzy! Thanks for the look & ride. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

Great video, loved hearing about the bike and glad you're able to enjoy it!

Had a 76 and loved it but had to let it go cos of hard times, just got an 81, really chuffed and reckon I'll be keeping this one till the end!

Loved the ride, I ride an 1974 all original HD XLH ironhead 15K miles

Way cool bike fuzzy 😎

Iron Heads Rule ! ! ! Happy Independence Day !!! WAHOO !!!

Had a ‘75 back in early/mid 90s that was bulletproof. Worst problem was that goofy crossover shifter that you could not find neutral with, so I made it a jockey shift. Hardtail, four inches of front frame stretch with a 8 over front end that I did myself, rode and handled like a dream, better than stock. Miss that bike.

Absolutely beautiful.

Had a 75 Ironhead. It pulled like a train and was a great backroad bike but it got literally smoking hot in stop and go traffic. Eventually the clutch would go away and all you could do was stop and let it cool down.

my 76 sporty was my first bike and it was a nightmare to start, i let it beat me :( always thought about getting another , hopefully with a little more no how I could now enjoy it.

I believe those are Buckhorn handlebars

AMF bike they also built a 175 enduro style bike I didnt check but the tank looks AMF Ill have sporty one day

Ok 2 things number 1 you did not cover were and how the PTO works 2nd , how many Row planter will it pull -------- Wahoo

Mates Dad got one exactly like this 1976 Electric start 1000cc AMF.Becoming collectable now as AMF only around a few years. Could put a bigger tank on it a 15-16L tank maybe then again if you're only gana use it for shorter rides leave it.
