Drove a 1970's Wagoneer from Detroit to Jackson Hole Wyoming on Christmas eve 1977 with 3 friends! 🤣 Always an adventure getting from point A to point B on an Ironhead or Shovelhead. 😎 My first Harley Davidson was an angry ol' Ironhead right hand shift. 💖 Old bikes have soul.
Always a good feeling when they return to life and agree 50mph cruise on an older bike gives enjoyment only the likes of us can understand . Stay safe all.
I still remember your first video on that Ironhead and then the hurricane happened and well... then trying to get the shop built and the insurance debacle lol.
Haha, I had the exact same reaction when I brought my 79' ironhead out for the first time last year. Screaming/laughing with excitement. Such raw, fun bikes. Fair play man!
"Shimmy sham with that ho-do flipper. Coming on strong man with that ironhead" Dude. That boy is the funniest person I've seen in a long time. That was hilarious. You should turn that into part of a intro or outtro.
I am excited to see the iron head breathing and I can't imagine how you feel. I remember the day it came home and even though you couldn't use the original oil tank I believe it is turning out to be a hell of a bike. Well as always ride 55 and ride free.
@@SaddleTrampTV No it sure isn't. Seems like those bikes are the ones I like the best. Getting ready for our memorial day flag ride here. Planting flags for those of our family no longer here with us. Pistol Pete
Sweet ride! I love the old bikes especially Sportsters and Evos. 1 year ago, I moved from Boise Idaho where the riding season is short but diverse to central Louisiana where I can now ride most of the year so after I finish this comment, I'm riding! Congrats on getting that old iron running again.
they sound like two Kool folks. I will check out there channel. I really like your new shop, I hope there is no trees around it. I'm like you, I live in Hurricane Ally. I live in L.A (lower Alabama). I might take a ride over your way one-day and camp out. Ride Safe Tramp. I enjoy you videos.
Awesome!!!! Hope our paths cross again while you are riding it would love to see and hear it in person. Felt like an eternity watching you work on it, the wait was worth it.
Now I can't wait to get my 71' on the road...it was a barn find that sat for 20+ yrs it's in rough shape but slowly building it....bike sounds great hoss and your nuffin but smiles awesome
I grew up around the livestock haulers of the 70s and 80s... I started riding with in 81 and they'd actually pop it in neutral at the top and let her rip going downhill.. they didn't do it everywhere but places where there's very little curves
Watching your videos takes me back when I was younger my brother and I had paper routes there was a biker guy all the time I'll go collect from him he had his Chopper in his dining room I thought it was weird as I got older I respected that and now I knew how much money he had into it he and all his biker Buddies would give me shit because I used to like the sound the newspaper made on his aluminum screen door he would tell my brother for me to stop that shit had a lot of love for that man
nice you got it on the roadjust finished up alot of the small things on mine and waiting for the weather to break with all the rain to test it out. congrats on getting it finished nothing like seeing the end line
Man it's been a minuet since you got that thing and it's so cool it's running and rideable. Drum brakes, oh man I got them too and if I didn't have the front brakes I don't know how much I would ride my bike. Brake fade is a real thing and I learned that a couple of weekends ago when I over shot a corner on some twisty's. Lucky no one was coming so it was ok. Respect these old bikes or they will bit you. Termite reminds me of my old FJ-60 Land Cruiser. 65 mph down hill.
Nice. Working with the town. Trying to get building permit. They want to start building. bike sounds great. Can hear the excitement in your voice. Enjoy.
Haunted house on 2 wheels, now that's funny! When my friends ask me how my '65 runs, I tell them that it runs like a jack hammer, but yeah, it's also like a haunted house on wheels as you never know if you're going to make it home in one piece. :-)
Yay bro I’ve watched you since I was a teenager and now I have my own Harley ironhead and when I got her running I was a lil bit more happy but hey right on bro🎉
Hey, Saddle Tramp!! Congrats on getting the '76 Ironhead on the road!! I know full well what you mean about it taking years and you wonder if it will ever be done and on the road. I just finished my dream bike; a '49 FL Pan that I began building in February of 2015. It's an "Easy Rider" "Captain America" tribute bike. Enjoy that Ironhead!! I've never owned one, but a lot of my friends had them back in the day, and they're a blast to ride!!😊😊
Congratulations Tramp! Nothing like first start up of something that started as a box of parts. You'll get used to the right hand shift. Way back in the dark ages of 1974 I was running a DT 250 Yamaha and a 66 BSA for the summer. Couple of unplanned, hard downshifts and you adapt.
Corey, you started that bike up and it sounded awesome but I said to myself I'd never want to trust it dpwn the road.....but then there you go laughing and loving the ride. Great to see you feelin life! Thanks for Sharing!
Hey Cory That is awesome, I feel the excitement. My girlfriend has a 74 Sportster, and when I ride it especially in the city you have to be so aware of the brake and shifter. Like you say though it sounds great and is fun. You are an amazing mechanic. Stay safe and say hi to Kim.
Wow man great video. I'll definitely go check them out and by the sounds of your voice you can tell how happy you were man to have the ole ironhead going.. Good job.
awesome!!! congratz on getting the ironhead on the road! such a great video, Saddle Tramp! oh, and I sub'd Termite Offroad too. Hope y'all have a good weekend.
Yeah really... At one time I was starting to think it wasn't going to be anything more than a shop ornament. That started bugging me, so I had to see if it could live.
Well done. Yep, love the sound. My first Harley was a Sportster, that was over 40 years ago. I put drag pipes on. I loved the sound but the guys I rode with didn't. When we rode together there was a pocket they didn't want to get into.
Great to see it up running and going down the road! Sounds awesome! You best buy another project to keep the content coming so we can all stay tuned!! lol great work Corey
