My old man showed me the float bowl tap when I was a kid. Sadly he past in 2020 but I still carry on everything he taught me. Great channel and always refreshing to watch your positivity. 👊🤙

Cool! You're a reincarnation of your Dad. My wife and I visited your museum years back and watched him fire up bikes on the first kick, he was an exceptional man, the world needs more like him.

This is why I love you guys.. saving these beautiful old bikes

"We've got spark at the points. That's a BIG positive". Made me chuckle 😄.

Such a beautiful bike. The proportions on that model are perfect. I bet it was a blast to ride it! A great addition to the museum.

Another amazing bike for “Wheels Through Time “.As always 😮WOW!

I have coming to you museum on my bucket list. I’m all the way from Oregon. I get all my accurate facts on motorcycles from you channel.

So excited to watch this. 60 years ago, I was in high school, did the same thing several times, love it. Know the bike just like my own fingers. Still riding today, by the way. God bless America !

Ha ha! I said 12 kicks.....and was bang on! I'll just go out and buy a lottery ticket, now!

Man, that is a beautiful ol' Harley!

That just gave me goosebumps I love pans I've had my 1960 since 1979 44 years now and still is my favorite. Thanks for the video made my day.

What a wonderful find you lucky bastard 👊👍💪👌

That bike sounds absolutely amazing for sitting for so long

Such a special moment in history in what I believe is the first start up and ride! This pan was loved and cared for. Thank you for sharing this!

Beautiful bike😊

Thanks for preserving these beautiful historic bikes. I really enjoy your channel!

I have my grandfathers 1941 Indian Bonneville Chief. I purchased it from my grandmother after grandpa's death. The restoration took my 7 years to complete. Before starting the restoration, I wanted to ride the bike to see if it would start. It had to be pulled behind a tractor to finally get it running after decades of setting in an old barn. It really surprised me that for such an old bike, how well balanced the bike was. When coming back to the house on a gravel road, the rear tire was rotted and blew out. Even with the rear tire blown the bike was still rode very well. I believe that if this had been a newer bike, it would have gone down. The people who manufactured and build motorcycles and cars decades old took a lot of pride in what they did.

What a beautiful machine, Thanks Matt and crew

I was in the museum for the first time just last week, I can still smell the oil ! When you get a chance go ! Thanks Matt and Dale

Great video man I love those old bikes

The feeling is unspeakable when it start working back to life ❤❤

absolute beauty

Amazing bike 😍

Love all that you do

I have fond memories of my first HD, a '48 Pan. Found out I didn't have enough coordination to stick with a suicide shifter stopping on all the hills where I lived so I put a mouse trap and took to the breeze. 50 some years and 7 HD'S later, I'd like to find another Pan like that '48. Your find was incredible! Maybe someday...

All I can say is so so SWEET

Too cool man, I love it.

Sweet find !

How sweet thank you for sharing this matt

Awesome find!

Great bike thanks

My brother owned a 57 panhead...the balm! Great video man!

Isn't it amazing how manufacturers went to great pains to make things beautiful, in those days? Form and function - that's what's genuine; no postmodernist anachronist mish-mash.

Man, i love an old panhead. Wish i could afford one.

love old harleys man. my grandfather had a 1953 indian and a 55 panhead. killer bikes. i just had the misfortune of someone slamming on brakes in front of me a year ago and i totalled my shovelhead. keep getting it brother.

You brought home some gold there. Great bike!

The suspense had me on the edge of my seat

Sweet bike, Missing my 48. 😢

What Classic machine, Wow.🫡🤟

Sweet!

This is ART man!

Awesome find 😅 true American muscle 💪

That was pretty easy to get it running, love the patina, looks like it's going to be a solid driver. Good luck

Awesome video brother stay strong and God bless

Man knows his stuff and what a find get the back story if you can on that survivor - awesome - should have been me who found it - I don't know if I could handle the absolute amazement if I did congratulations 🎉

I injoy watching ur videos very informational and always cool stuff.

Very nice. 👍🏻

What a find!👌

Beautiful bike! I am so tempted to sell my RG for an old pan head. I know, rose tinted! Just love the look of the old Harleys and that you need to work for forward motion rather than push a button and go!

Such a handsome bike.
