Your Dad was a history lesson every time he spoke. I appreciate how you are like your Dad. Thanks for the great video and thanks for all you do to preserve and honor your Fathers legacy and these historic motorcycles.

I'm just happy he kept the channel going after his father's passing was pretty sad to hear but he is his fathers son so it didn't surprise me but was really happy to know he's keeping these older bikes running and riding 8

Your enthusiasm is awesome.. My father has passed away now he was 94 born in 26 . He was a Harley mechanic here in Melbourne Australia. The police rode them here in the 50’s . The cops used to hide their bikes in dads workshop while they went to the bar for lunch . They’d borrow a jacket to put over there uniform. Dad had Indian’s and one British Velocette 500 single which he raced flat grass track on . I wish I found your channel while he was alive. I know he would have watch every moment of your videos and loved it like I do . Thanks Matt 🙏🏻

The Harley Davidson Dealer in Rahway NJ. Had purchased some WW2 45’s in wooden crates,that they sold for $200.00. I purchased one and used it as a dirt bike for many years. The motorcycle had to be assembled. The engine and transmission were the only things that didn’t need to be assembled. I had to lace the rims to the hubs. The directions that came with the motorcycle were not very good. It came with a tool kit for assembly. This motorcycle was my most favorite childhood memory. I was 13 years old when my dad allowed me to draw the $200.00 from my savings account. I had over $1,000.00 in my account from mowing lawns,Trapping Muskrats,delivering newspapers and collecting the money for the newspapers. At 17 years old.I traded the 45 for a 1965 Chevrolet Corsair Monza. The Corvair was a great vehicle. The only problem is the engine wore out spark plugs within 2,000 miles. The engine would still run but the performance would drastically drop off. I put Michelin Radial Tires on the Monza. I don’t know where the Corvair got this reputation for flipping over. Where I lived, there are what is called the S-Curves at 25 MPH. My 1965 Monza with the Michelin Radials easily negotiated the S-Curves at 60 MPH.

Visited Maggie Valley many times, since 1991 on a regular. Almost always stayed at the Meadowlark. Love sitting on the back deck of the cabin and watch the Harleys roll into your establishment and listen to the creek. I had went to a church service at the covered shed out back that was hosted by a preacher and his congregation from Georgia. They rode their Harleys up and I thought that was awesome! I had just came back from the meeting and changed to meet my mom by the pool when all the sudden there was a horrendous accident nearly right in front of us! I jumped up to run across the street in the parking lot of JB's? steak house, where most of the accident ended up at. It was a white van and a compact car that had collided! My mom grabbed my arm and asked me where I was going. I told her to go help.(not that I could have done anything but hold someones hand til help did get there).She said the best thing I could do is start praying. I did. I later found out everyone made it. Thank God. I think that was the summer of 2012. So happy you started this youtube channel. I love your museum. One of the men who worked there walked around with my husband and I a few years ago and was so kind to share his knowledge. My favorite is the motorcycle, one of a kind, hidden in a secret wall in a home in Germany that was put there during WWII! Such a wonderful story and a huge part of history that thanks to your museum, will live on! Have an awesomely blessed weekend! Thanks for sharing!

Even if it's a tired old gal, the story it can tell through it's dirt, scrapes, and dents makes it so much more gorgeous than it already is. If I could, this bike might be the way I'd drive an old Harley 45.
