Dude casually has a GTR in his garage lol sick bike as well.

Bro says. brakes are irrelevant, red light is irrelevant😢😂😂😂 love this man right here!!

Buying a new bike is a hobby, but keeping the old one run is passion ❤😊

"I can go cross country on this" 3rd gear; "bing bong fuck ya life"

man the NYC burbs have a real vibe

She may be old and crusty but she will always get you home and make you smile👍

Audi, GTR, Ducati. Bro has everything

This really warmed my heart to watch someone interested in an old dog still. You are the guy id walk up to at a bar, not yhe guy wit the brand new dresser. Wish u nothing but the best for her man

Old bikes are a sickness. You will never be the same!

Could never live in NYC, but you have a nice setup with the garage and all. Didn't know people had enough room for a lil shop. Not t bad

Enjoy the ride, I have been riding my 1980 first year FLT for 38 years and still ride it today. great long-distance cruiser.

Can't believe no one stoped to see if they could help when you tipped the bike onmit's side.Good luck with the rebuild.

As we said back in the ‘70’s “don’t ride ‘em any further than you’re willing to push them home.” Good luck with this one. I have my 1985 Electra Glide Classic which I purchased brand new from Conley’s Harley Davidson in Plano (Dallas) Texas. Very similar motorcycle.

Just found this drinking a coffee before work here in the UK, two old harleys in my garage, love em! Really enjoying your style, ride safe.

I bought an 83 FLHT in worse shape than that one a few yrs ago from a guy cheap. It’s was beat and ugly, but I wanted the shovelhead drivetrain for another project. I planned on selling off the roller and title to get some money back, no offers. Yrs later the wife asked, will an EVO motor fit in there? Yup, it’ll bolt right in. “ why don’t you build it back with an EVO for us to ride together?” She rides her own custom 82 FXR we built. So over a few yrs I redid the old bike. 107”S&S motor from a Big Dog, converted to belt rear drive, upgraded brakes, 6spd OD gear set, tons of other upgrades but used as much of the original bike as possible. Today it’s a smooth as glass two up tourer. The 107, recammed for low and mid range is smooth and strong and the old FLT frame is a joy to cruise on. It was a long process but it’s a hobby, so saving the old iron is a labor of love. Those ugly old FLTs are some smooth bikes on the hiway.

Something about watching a mechanic who really knows their shit figuring things out quickly in the moment is super satisfying to watch. Good stuff man.

I went threw my 1986 FXST 21 years ago powder coating my frame from a ugly factory maroon color to black, Decided to look into the engine to freshen her up ended up putting everything back together on the lower end absolutely nothing wrong with bearings etc still like new after at that time 17 years of riding over 50,000 miles. Honed the cylinders put new Harley OEM pistons plus brand new screamin eagle heads and I have been riding it every week or so since, Got to love the EVO motor they are the best. I know I have owned and worked on them all.

I can only imagine the people's thoughts driving by as you were rocking it on its side

What a awesome old beast of a bike, looking forward to seeing ya get it all fixed up. Thumbs up and subbed.

This video brings back so many memories of being broken down on the side of the road. After putting a basket case back together, I spent the next 15 years splattering oil all over California, leaving timing weights that turned to shrapnel on the side of the road, and basically wrecking on a regular basis. When picking up a bike, turn the bars AWAY from you; much easier to pick it up.

Great video! It's like going over your cool Uncle's house and he's trying to get this bike going again. Looks like fun, I'm here for it. I'm sure you already know what it needs.

I love this sort of stuff. I’m keen for the next instalment! That 3rd gear problem was probably the reason it got parked up.

Mate - an Aussie biker here. Great story and am looking forward to watching you bring the old girl back. Cheers and thanks for giving her another go, Dave

Just hearing the sheer nostalgia coming from the man's mouth, hell yeah! She wasn't planning to go out of commission any time soon, even after 20 years. 💪🏻

please do more of these. so relaxing to watch you talk about your bike while riding it. also because you're very very good driver, and I know good drivers.

Nice to see these old scooters come out of storage. I wish you the best luck on your project.

20 year old tires? You are a brave man! Perhaps a little more to do so you aren't a hazard to yourself and others! Be Safe,enjoy the project

Tourglides are what makes me wake up in the morning. Love my 96’ TG. 137k miles and still kicks ass every day.

BROOKLYN brings back memories, grew up in Coney Island but hung out in Bensonhurst a lot when I was a kid. Back in the early 90s late 80s every block had the best firework show lol

Definitely watching this as it progresses.

I can't imagine the sliding puzzle game you have to do to get that car out of the garage and on the street. I'll never complain about having to mow my yard or shovel snow out of my driveway again! ha ha I love that you're bringing that old bike back to life, very cool.

Hi from the UK , really looking forward to the restoration project , good luck 🤙🏍😎

Nice to see a fellow rider willing to HELP ? .... Cool to watch this resurrection and the follow up'$

Seeing your garage makes me question MY life decisions!!!!!!!!!!! Common man ! Live de Dream ! All the best to you mate. Stay strong!

I’m into old stuff. Got an old truck that just needs brakes, will have an old bike one day god willing. Great video!

I stopped riding when I was 25, rode ninjas etc... at 38 I gave in and bought an old harley Road King. Feel like I been missing a part of me and found it

have my 1990 FLHS since almost new 50,000 miles and still ticking. Original belt, trans, engine

First video I see from this channel. This was very wholesome in a very comforting way. You got a new sub. Love the attitude, man. Wish you the best.

Once I seen the thumbnail I knew it was NY. And probably Brooklyn. Had to tune in. Edit: What a small world. You live on a street I grew up on. Crazy how small the world is sometimes, even on the internet.

It has potential. Sounds good when it’s running.

I felt like I was really IN the city with your accent and everything. Can't wait to see what comes of this bike. Of course you probably know of Wheels Through Time channel.

I love these motorcycle revival videos, this is perfectly what I watch for hours just like yours's and just love it to my bare bones, for years its rusting away peacefully until one day it's remembered and one guy with the ratchet and fire proof passion and will, brings it back to its roaring life and glory, Amen brother! You are doing a job that many only dream off! God Speed! Subbed!

idk why but this video is so calming, the camera angle, the scenery, the commentary I LOVE IT, subscribe

I had an 81 flt for about fifteen years, wonderful bike

I want an old Tour Glide with the fairing. One day. I missed out on one last week. I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

14:18 was actually surprised seeing you stop at a stop sign for once 😂

I dont know why I watched this video, but I really enjoyed it. Greetings from Germany ♥

There is a spring on the shifter paw that probably needs to be replaced the old EVO transmissions do that after a while. May not be the problem but I would add it to my list, it usually causes like mist shifts. There is a video of a older dude like me out there that shows you how to do it. Great Bike I am real Happy for ya.

Very cool bike. I’m in the neighborhood, hope you get everything set for yourself and I get to see it out and about. 👍🏻

Monumental tasks, Bravo! Seems the modern bikes are well made enough for 20yrs easily. I had a dependable daily ride 26 years old. Miss it badly.😊

dude i love this bike already. just binged the whole video completely unaware of myself ;) and u seem to be a fitting owner for that old but smooth and proud lady.

Sitting is way harder on a bike than riding it, nice project brother you’ll be looking for another one before you know it. 🐾✌️🇺🇸

Proper clutch adjustment and fluid change and she might just shift into third.

I can't imagine how good that must feel to ride. I've only had a short amount of times on bikes here in the UK and still considering if I should delve back into it. Just watching your progression is like seeing a beast be tamed once again. Occasionally bike content comes up into my feed, taunting me into it! Haha, good stuff buddy.

can't stop watching this for some reason and I'm sure I'm not the only one

I went out for a ride and I never went back. Good luck to you.

That bike probably needs alot less work than you think. Fix the broken stuff and ride it around the world..😊

Might be old but when you give her a chance she runs great :) Thanks for taking care of the old girl :) Excited to see how she turns out after your TLC :)

going over to yourself what is wrong with "her" whilst finding new things that dont work is extremely relatable, one thing fixed, 2 new things that need work. Thats just how it is

This will be a fun restore series. GETTER DONE!

Some tires carb clean fresh fluids and I bet she will learn how to live again. Evos just want to run. Sweet scoot. Honestly, I wouldn’t even start taking it apart. I’d leave it just the way it is freshen it up and ride the hell out of it. It’s what William Harley would’ve wanted

thanks for the ride around the block, that was fun, lol good to see bit of the city from a bike

I used to live down the block from that Mobil. You're making me feel kinda homesick.

Those are some lifelong wrenching hands. Love your collection brother. Hope to find someone like yourself to learn all about older cars and how to repair and work on em.

I saw the title and thought "how so?" and then i got a little bit into it and was like "OH, project bike woes. Welcome to the club of foolish tinkerers! If I was local I'd buy you a beer!"

knew you were in Brooklyn by the alley at the very start of the vid. knew it was Bensonhurst as you hit the street. didnt realize it was 20th until the turn tho! I lived over on 61st & 19th. my uncle is Villy, ran a car shop for a bit. your laps were fun to watch. thanks

she is going to piss off everyone on your block 👍 life is good I loved firing up my bike at 3 AM with straight pipes I am a old man now those days are long gone. wishing you the best with the Harley.

Following this progress..... 🙂

I am NOT a Harley fan; but I like this 🤩

got mine from a shed in NY and imported it to England, never rode it, just wanted one, still got it..will keep forever.

im hearing "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" in the background😭bros vibing🔊🔊

Agree with @michaelerickson1518. Don't do the top end unless there's clear evidence there's a failure. I don't even know why you'd mess with the chain?

I have one of those, you MUST run a short direct line to carb ..it will not pull at highway speeds. Notice how it worked when you tilted scoot to left ? Leave top end alone, evo's roll forever....

I’ve bought a 1989 FLH sport look just like that five years ago. Complete restoration from front to back from top to bottom 50 miles on it. It was the cleanest bike I’ve ever owned anyway you said chrome won’t get you home. But flat black will get you back

That was a good one "chrome won't get you home, but it sure looks good pushin" LOL

Beautiful bike!!!

Did you clean the carb? The jets will likely be clogged as will the fuel tap.

My first Harley was a 90 FLT, great bike, took a bit for automotive style insrument panel to grow on me but when it did, I loved it!

My old bike haven't running for years ever since the piston jammed but the sentimental value on it is the reason i still kept it...gonna work on that bike someday.

Lol I really have an addiction for old bikes. Particularly cheap old girls that nobody wants but turn out to be lots of fun. I like wrenching, and I think its better than sitting on the couch rotting your brain!

Why fix it if it's not broke runs fine must need a top end

I used to strip bikes down & restore them as best I could with new parts etc. But as I get older I've just fixed them up enough to use & found it a lot easier (obviously) but also I can use it straight away, not be to precious about paintwork chrome etc and most importantly enjoy it. Currently running around on a 100cc Yamaha that is clean & everything works but shows it's age (& history) with pride. It makes me smile every time I get on it. My restored RD400 is great but the little 'hundred' is my go to weapon of choice. Hope you decide to fix yours up & use it for a while. Enjoy.

Another episode of Wheels Through Time Bensonhurst! Tony Sirico is from your neighborhood. Nice old Harley, this is going to be an excellent series! I can't wait for the Belt Parkway inaugural cruise footage.

Bad ass.....

dies on first ride...

That is the sickest first year evo bagger ive ever seen. I hope you dont change its aesthetics at all. It looks perfect 🤘

My family left brooklyn a few months back after theirs and my entire life there. Getting some real nostalgia seeing bensonhurst like this.

Nice to see NYC neighborhoods from a helmet cam (and not from someone going stupid fast on a Japanese bike). Good job getting it going. My 93 Glide Ultra is coming along and almost road worthy. Following your journey!

The emulsion tube and pilot jet are clogged. Take it back apart, clean the emulsion tube and pilot jet and make sure the floats aren't perforated, make sure the needle valves on the float and throttle slides seal properly and aren't obstructed. Clean the channels in the body of the carb while you are in there and re seal and reassemble the carb(s). Then fresh plugs with proper gapped electrodes. Set the electrode gaps yourself there is no such thing as a pre gapped plug. Make sure all the terminals are clean and free of corrosion for adequate continuity, make sure your grounds and power distribution is good. Run fresh fuel lines and filters. Clean fuel tank and clean fresh fuel. Make sure the secondary and primary winding resistance is within spec and that the ignition wires and rectifier is good. Then go burn the carbon off the valves and enjoy your sikle. Obviously make sure your rotors are clean, you have Plenty of friction material, your calipers are not seized and your hydraulics don't have any cavitated air. Probably bleed clean dot 4 through them. Then she'll go just fine bud. God bless

bro has multiple bikes and a gtr and is still deciding to work on his old harley respect for that

Hey there! Hello from New Zealand! My name is Ra, and pleased to meet you, brother! It was the tagline that landed me on your channel, and when I saw it, I realised that I'm sort-of in your shoes. I haven't been on a motorcycle for nearly 40 years. I've been questioning my life choices lately, and I miss being on two wheels. The rumble of the motor, the wind in your face, the bugs in your teeth and clothing... Lol. Plus, the freedom, the utter freedom a motorcycle gives you... Yeah, I got it bad! Lol. However, I'd thought I'd follow along as you fix up that monster and get her road-worthy and singing a fine tune. Subbed no probs.

You tube throws all sorts randomly at me. Sometimes gems like this :)

Can't wait to see how it'll look once you fixed it. Hope for a nice new paint job.

Dude, you’re hilarious. If you were my neighbor I’d be pestering you all the time. I’ve done that “lay the bike on its side” trick before, but never with a touring Harley 😂

This guy has one of the best talking voice ever straight out of an action movie or some shit

That backyard has some gems indeed

love these litttle adventures on here...great entertainment and always learn stuff

Props mate. Love to see people keep the older sruff going. I'm still going strong on my 96 k2500. 2 engines, 3 transmissions. Sitting at 750k miles. Ill mever let her die until wisconsin forces her to rust apart

You probably needed a smoke and ice cold beer after that ride. Anyways, stay safe it was entertaining.

I’m 40. I just bought a Suzuki dr350. The last time I rode a motorcycle I was 17. I remembered everything… just had to build my confidence back up. I’ve been safely driving in Los Angeles traffic for about a year just fine except for my bike being stolen. Couple days ago I got a Suzuki drz400 supermoto!!!
