this is what its all about, hanging with good friends, joking, pranking, and having a good times.. bikes will come and go, but memories like these will stay with you forever.

I met Matt a few years ago, he started 4 or 5 bikes for us in the WTT museum. This guy is the real deal. Great guy.

It was my 50th birthday yesterday. My wife gave me a T-shirt from Weels Through Time and I was very happy. A little later I received another envelope. I opened it and tears welled up in my eyes. In the envelope was a ticket to Dave's Harley-Davidson Museum. My dream was to fly from Germany to America for the first time and see the museum. Absolutely crazy. So see you next year, I hope to see you....

This guy needs to appear more in your videos! I'd watch a weekly show of this.

Brilliant to watch guys what a shop!! Thanks for uploading cheers from England uk

Hella chemistry between these guys, you can tell they are really long time friends! Love the fluidity to the rebuild, I'd trust any bike to the team!

Man, you guys really bring back the days of my misspent youth. I had a chopper back in the mid 70's and watching you ride that thing reminded me of an old man who said "Riding that thing is like wiping your arse with a broke bottle!"

Matt, I really miss your dad, but you are keeping his vision alive and moving it forward, making it your own. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to get back to the Valley soon and see a bunch of new rides.

Ok everyone, BEFORE you comment, put your glasses on and read the title of the video carefully, then watch the first 30 seconds of the show. It was explained... This is NOT an Orange County Chopper. It was not a Teutel build. If this was an OCC build, it would have an S&S "Pan" motor, a silly big old fat back tire, lots of pointy spikey bolts, and a paint job that looked like your dog ate your Christmas decorations and puked them all back up on the tins. We don't need another comment about how OCC was crap or whatever. This bike is clearly much older. It's a dusty Panhead! Getting a Pan and a Shovel for 8 grand seems pretty cool to me! 🙂

Love watching you guys. You’re like a kid in a candy store when you’re getting one of those bikes. Absolutely a joy to watch you working on them.

This is actually Clickbait. I only clicked on it because I thought it was an OCC chopper and then looked closer and it said “country”…the video has nothing to do with OCC. BUT you guys still got another subscriber because of this video!

That Orange Country Chopper is such a classic time period look. I like it !

Awesome to see y'all rescuing another lost bike from the dead

How awesome. The guys wrenching, busting chops, having fun, and getting it done. A++. Men men men men! We need the brotherhood!

Nature welded...real life vocabulary right there.

Loved this!! When you guys brought out the " holy bible" for Pans to adjust mousetrap, priceless!!!

My friend found a chopped 45 on a remote farm in somerset. after digging it out from the pile of rusty tools we started to see if it could run . The valves where stuck so we had to lever them out with the heads off and then with the farmers growing enthusiast help we put the valves in a drill to get the rust off .with everything put back in we hooked up a battery and got a spark so as I was sittings on it I gave it a kick and it fires right up .....12 inch over forks a green metal flake paint job and a criss dagger for a gear change straight of the box off down the farm track I went...... absolutely terrifying ride with a 50 point turn back up to farm and £600 later my friend was the proud owner. He rode it all over England in the next 20 years only to lay it up with a rusted through frame .so watching this bright back happy memories from across the pond 🇺🇲🇬🇧

Greg Allman's doppelganger 👍🇺🇸

I love that you guys are goofing on each other

Pulp Fiction!” “Zed’s dead.”

I hope you guys throw a video up for the FXRS also. Interested in the Dyno numbers on it when you get it tightened up...Great video on the Pan. Glad to see things are moving forward...Later

Dig the hell out of those OG pan head rigid choppers. Nice save men. You're knowledge is impressive to see. Mike's hilarious as all get out. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Matt. WTT Rules.

Brilliant vid. Love the comradeship between you dudes. The pranks, the quips, the friendship. Need to see more of this guy on your channel.

I gotta tell you.I love all Matt's videos.I love when Steve is in Em 2.This collaboration between a 3.I've never learned more and left so hard in my life.One of my favorite episodes ever

Loved the video and just how creative you guys got with getting the chopper running and back on the road. That front end wiggled more than a bowl of jello in an earthquake lol

I'm glad I overlooked the OCC reference and watched anyway, that shop and those bikes he has- WOW. Rivals the WTT setup.

That was very enjoyable to watch. The respect you guys have for each other was awesome to see. I wish I had friends like that. What a sweet 61. Ride safe

This is up there as one of my favorite videos. Love you guys working together and cracking jokes. I can tell you are old friends without you even saying.

His father would be so proud… RIP Dale!

I'd buy all of the things that I would find. Matt is lucky to find all of these wonderful parts and bikes

I just had the pleasure of meeting Matt during a recent trip to the Carolinas. Thank you for being so down to earth and genuine. That being said I felt as if I was working on this bike with y'all. Great content as always. Thank you for keeping History Alive!

That was one of the most awesome videos I’ve seen in a long time! It’s so down to earth and the atmosphere and comradeship of friends doing it together and making it happen is so cool! 😎

Hah, good vid! I've bought that bike like 4 times, old pan chops are the best. You could hear the second she fired with the new coil and a hot battery she was happy. Have done that same thing with the clutch lever, just long enough to get to my buddy Ernie's shop, where we made a new cable. I keep a 4X4 block next to my lift for the frame rails to sit on. None of my long bikes will fit on my racks with the back tire on it. I was hoping you would ride it by the guys house where you bought it. Might inspire him to get one of his projects back on the board. Again, killer video. Have fun

Bruce Willis- Butch Coolidge- Pulp Fiction

Good friend has a couple of 53 s and has had them for 40 years. My bikes have come and gone as I am too old to ride anymore but he still keeps his. Nice video.thanks for sharing Aloha

Another really fun show. Thanks Matt. Thanks to everyone involved. Cycle Mo's Donation train... Thank you Mo.

Sometimes ol bikes just need a little love in the right hands to bring it back to life

Love those original Invader wheels!

It is great watching guys who are GREAT at what they do.

Somebody tell me why they don’t ever put a little oil down in the cylinders

He’s right I-recall “ Rootbeer “ was a popular color in the ‘70’s

This is extraordinary! Thank you for your hard work!

Thanks enjoyed watching friends work together brings good vibes.

"Can We Save This Orange Country Chopper?" The real question would be, why would you want to save this Orange Country chopper?

Seeing these guys, have a great time, work on a project makes me wish me, and my friends could do it all again

I cannot believe those guys got that bike not only running but riding!!! How amazing was that! Skill, craft, know-how and experience! Friends coming together, having a good time and making magic happen! Me and my friends do that ever time we tear down and rebuild a Jeep! Well done guys! You're an inspiration and if the younger generation would just stop and take the time to listen and learn, life would be better for all of us! Us old dogs have been around a while and we've learned stuff. I learned a lot from my Grandfather and I thank God every day he had the patience to teach me. He never threw anything away! If it broke you damn well better figure out how to fix it cause Sears or Monkey Wards ain't got another one! Great video guys!

Awesome Matt! So cool to see you & Mike hanging/working together. Great video!!

What a great video, brought back lots of old Pan and Shovel wrenching memories with a bro, had one of those invader front wheels, I think some of them had occasional failures, a blast from the chop culture

love love love this vid, brings back so many good memory's

Loved to see this kind of videos Guys working together and old school Thank you guys Here new subscriber 👍🏾

This video content and format is fantastic….truly enjoyable to watch!

I agree with everyone here, these guys have chemistry and just need to film doing projects together. Funny as hell and still getting things done without drama, just men doing men stuff. As a tradesman I appreciate the ‘no problems, only solutions’ attitude and approach.

This is the greatest wrenching video I've ever watched. Bunch of really skilled guys physically Attack a motorcycle to get it going all while cracking some hilarious jokes. Was the greatest chaotic symphony I've ever seen.

This video had me missing my panhead. Good to see another back on the road. Mine blew the oil line off the back of the motor one day and I learned real fast how to control it on ice. The back tire caught every drop of oil.

It’s really cool to see great friends,,working together on a HD 👍👏👏😊

I don't miss the kick start days at all. You guys are truly professionals.

@14:45 your using the channel locks wrong. When loosing you need to have them flipped to get proper grip. Good pairs have teeth directional and also even if not the way you then pull on them in your hand you will put much more force if you pull or push them with the pliers arch going the way you need the fastener to turn. Helps a lot and help you from stripping heads out. Just fyi cause a lot of people don’t know.

The "It's a chopper, baby," was Bruce Willis' line from "Pulp Fiction." Great video, though. It brings back memories from the '70s and '80s when a bunch of us would gather at someone's garage and get someone's bike running again. 👍👍

Great episode really enjoyed , nice to see how much fun you all had .

Tumbling a nasty tank in an electric cement mixer with steel shot and industrial vinegar works like a champ. Great work fellas

That bicentennial tank was my birth year. The movie was Pulp Fiction. You guys are on a roll with these episodes coming out!

Operative words, "WHEN I'M READY." I got a chuckle outta that. I HATE being shocked off a coil. You scored on those two bikes.

I really enjoyed your show, great guys, good editing, great project and everything. I’ll definitely be back, thanks for posting.

This is definitely my favorite episode....yous cats are a riot. Reminds me of my crew. Keep up the great work fellas

My first HD was a stock 1962 Duo Glide that I bought in 1971, paid $1000 for it. Soon after that I bobbed it and eventually chopped it the whole 9 yards... back halved and stretched 6" with a weld on rigid conversion, stock 16" wheel under a flat fender hung on a medium sissy bar. The neck was raked to sit level with an 8" over front end on narrowed trees and an 18" front wheel and mini drum. Peanut tank, pullbacks and spring solo seat. About 1978 I put it back in a stock swingarm frame, with stock shocks and stock 62' tanks w console, cut back and machined the upper legs so the frame sat level w the 18" front wheel, stock rear fender bobbed a bit, pretty much a DIY Super Glide. I won't tell you how little I left that pan go for in 1985 when I was raising a family... you'd cry, I still do.

Love the comraderie and working together. When guys rag each other like that you know they have been friends for awhile. I hope you rode by the house where ya bought it..

Great episode. We need more barn find will it runs/restorations! 👍

I really enjoyed the episode,thanks so much

saw Easy Rider when it came out. I was 9. started drawing choppers just like that one, started buying Street Chopper magazine when that came out, somewhere down the line my brain switched over to HOT RODS and customs but still love old school choppers. great video.

Fantastic. Ive had 3 evos and Harleys are such beautiful beasts they give me goosebumps. Keep up the good work chaps

Hello, I was smiling throughout your whole video. Digging the friendly banter, and witnessing the maiden voyage. Ahhh, thank you for the pleasant visit . Peace

Everything about this video makes it your best by far

I really need to get up there and visit you guys. I'm only a little ways away in lil' ol' Clemson SC and I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've never stopped in as many times as I've been to & through Western NC. I'll get there eventually though. Thanks for sharing & God bless! ~ Scott 💙👊🏼

I'm 30 minutes into the video and this is Awesome , their cracking me up working on the orange country chopper , 👍

Reminds me of when I was 20 I bought a 59 chopper just like this one out of a back room in a closed down Harley shop and everything you did to get this one running I did the exact same thing to get mine running even had the same coil problem

Thanks guys get video you guys are a riot to listen to have a great Memorial Weekend guys👍🇺🇸💪🏼

Another great video!! It's great to see you again!!

A beautiful 82 Harley Davidson a very special year . And the occ with a 50's pan head brought back to life . Great work guys . Cool video and a great time enjoyed every minute of it.

One of the best episodes yet! Would love to see more chopper revivals.

And it purred, beautiful. I have learned a lot watching your videos.

This was comic genius on all levels, this was literally something out of my childhood on my two best friends and I were jumping milk crates on half broken huffy bicycles thinking we were Evel Knievel. I couldn't stop laughing we need more cyclemos episodes!!

Great video, you've got some hilarious friends, I love working with folks like that

Awesome video. Thanks guys.

Your buddy's a beast in the shop..what a friend 💯

i like your videos its teaching younger generations a lot of thing about motorcycles

I love the group effort in getting the bike going. It looks like a pretty frightening bike to ride. I'd not be so interested even in new condition, TBH. Will be at Wheels through Time this summer finally. Can't wait.

If it weren't for Guys likee that dude, half of everything that industrial America has produced over the past 100 years would no longer exist anymore. It would be in landfills, and recycled. Instead it's being rebuilt, polished, and showcased all over our country. Collectors like him are the heart of the antique collecting community, and are the living historians of Americana. We should be so grateful that guys like him are willing to take up all their valuable space, space they could be renting out and turning a buck on, for the sake of saving rusty old objects that most of us would find just to be some kind of inconvenience to keep around. Instead they hold on to all that "junk," and "Junk" gets dusty over the years, and "junk" gets Rusty over the years, but it's still a big part of who we are as americans, and guys like him should be f****** saluted for saving it, not criticized...

Man I’ve learned so much watching your vids. Thanks 👍

Absolute awesome episode. Thank you.

Too bad there are not more people like this anymore. You offer to help people out and you go help them and they burn you and get damn busy when you need help . Been so long since I had any freinds like this I forgot what its like .😔

Another awsome vid..he had some cool tanks and stuff..im nkt a huge flame guy but that tsnk and fender was done well nkt the cartoony flames

I'm coming to visit your museum from Arizona,on June 12th, hope to see that 53 orange country chopper! Have to say ,I'm excited!

Your fun is infectious. Thank you

Nice work, Matt. Especially a Shovelhead. 👍

Yall make a good team love to see more of yall together

I could watch videos like this all day ! Nice work guys

The best video on KZfaq for me at least. Won't go into the long sob story but this one really hit home. Thanks for showing the awesome bike and the laughs getting it going

😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing the banter with best mates

Killer score! Panhead chopper, an '82 FXR and some parts all for 8 large.

This was great fun! Have you guys been watching Junkyard Digs? Kevin would be proud! It's always fun to watch guys at the top of their game riffing off each other. Humor is good!
