Amazing what mufflers do. As a kid inthe 80's, my best friend and neighbor's dad owned a 1945k knucklehead chopper. Original frame, suicide shift with a q-ball shifter, ape hangers, dark blue with naked lady airbrushed on the side of the tanks. It was beautiful. Probably my most favorite memory of childhood. Anyhow, my friend and I always knew when his dad was going to be home because we could hear his bike a out a mile out from the house. It was unmistakable. It gave us plenty of time to stop doing anything we were not suppose to be doing.

Those Harleys came through in groups several times a day. The sound was glorious. Thanks for the time travel:)

I remember my dad taking me to the "Honda" shop when I was a kid often because we were a motorcycle riding family . Me and my brothers rode motocross and the old man had a Yamaha 650. In the very early 70s we went to the Honda shop and the owner asked my dad to the back of the shop to show him something he got on trade and I went with him to look . The owner showed us two Harleys that a guy " traded in " on a new Honda and those 2 Harleys were either both original knuckles or panheads..I dont remember because at the time I didnt know the difference but they sure looked a lot like this one . There was a time when old Harleys were cheap. Can you imagine trading in 2 old Harleys and some cash on a new Honda ? Wow !

The oldest big twin I have ever rode was a '76 FLH, and I felt it was a better bike than Harley made at that time. I'd really like to ride a old knuckle to feel the same thing my father did I can't imagine it being like anything I have ever rode. You are a lucky man Matt to be able to ride cool old classic at will. Have a great day man, and enjoy the knuckle.
