This family residence is one of the nicest places these guys have ever been allowed to visit , nevermind pick! Most generational homesteads don't allow strangers or solicitors on their property. It was a very cool glimpse at a great American family!

@kartikbakshi5535 3 года назад

Probably slave owners, I won't be surprised if that how they made their money off plantations / and slave transportation. 10 generations ago definitely makes sense.

@@kartikbakshi5535 Well, maybe. But that has nothing to do with the current living members of the extended family.

@Nexxarian 3 года назад

@@kartikbakshi5535 This is upstate NY. His family lived there since 1750 and only 5 generations later did they have the farm. The last slaves in NY were freed in 1827. So, no, they probably didn't own slaves, and if they did, it would've only been for a short time.

I have a 1969 XLCH Sportster in excellent condition and it's worth about $14,000 according to the insurance appraisal. Had it been just a little nicer the appraiser said it would have been in the $17-19,000 range. I don't know how much nicer it can get but that's fine since he put a $14,000 value on a bike I have owned since it was given to me by my uncle in the mid 90s . He bought it new and only put 5184 miles on it . It now has 9157 miles on it.

I wish i was a better mechanic. I have access to buy motorcycles that were "junked" from accidents. Either the owner doesn't want to ride the bike anymore (understandable) or the bike was totaled or cost of repairs was too much. A minth ago, I could have bought a 2019 R1 for 500 dollars. Like I said, I'm no mechanic but it looked like it needed new front forks (not sure if that's really what they are called) and a new gas tank. Repairing a bike like that would be fun

@joshuawalker9031 4 года назад

DeeInTheHouse a I’m not sure what u mean sir, I meant no disrespect. I believe what’s in the vid to be a shovel head because of the heads on the cylinders. The shovels and iron heads are shaped differently, as a reference you can look at my pfp or simply google. The shovel is more prone to look like the head in the vid, whilst a iron head has a divot in the top such as mine. Plz correct me if I’m mistaken that’s just my knowledge tho, there may be a year there that I’m not aware of where they made iron heads with heads that were similar to shovels.

Mike is not the nice guy he pretends to be on TV. He is always expecting his customers to be nice and generous with there time but when I called Mike on his cell phone after my Dad passed away he was not concerned that I was looking for information on a Indian race bike that my dad use to race in the late 50's. I called him because he claims to collect Indian bikes and I really thought he could help me know what the bike was by the pictures I sent him. The only thing he was concerned with was what website had his info it. SO he wanted info from me but did not reciprocate by helping me out at all. He just ghosted me. I never called him or texted him again out of professional curtesy. I just thought it was a total d--k move. He only cares about him self and what he can make. No longer a fan of Mike Wolfe
