I Bought a Brand New "Antique" Harley Davidson Motorcycle 

He is the bearded mechanic on youtube

I miss Craig! Is there ever a possibility of getting back together ever?

@@jamescrockett6887 he said in a previous video they'd still do some videos together

we miss you craig

@@puro Yup, I could see them doing some challenge videos like cartrek and the grand tour.

Its true, been to Tenn a couple times and the people I've ran across have always been so nice and accommodating...

Tenn, N Al, NW Ga and NE MS(once out of a City)people are all alike. All of them are great to ride through.

right? had a smile on my face for that entire segment 😂

Sean offering him the 1st ride was a nice gesture too. Awesome video for sure!

This is in Wisconsin...smarty pants🎉 And dickhead Dave didn't even let him SIT on a bike 😅 booooooooo

Well said! Completely agree.

Well to you 2.....The penny will drop one day that our God..... Jesus, is the risen Savour. A personal relationship

same, I still cringe a bit any time I hear a bible verse but at least he keeps that part to a minimum, the rest is just good quality character, seems like a really nice dude

then sean took credit for figuring out the problem lmao

Mini Craig!

I think I figured out the problem, I should have asked the boy to begin with.

@@Beckii2k11 that's the christian way.

Lol yeah

Definitely 👍

Tiny dks supporting other tiny dks. So cute

@@Brandon-bc5um Oh did you come up with that all on your own or did you steal it since it's the most worn out, smooth brained joke when it comes to motorcycles. If you're gonna be an a hole, at least be original.

Got to keep it positive

@@BikesandBeards thats because he got his friend the Holy Spirt riding with him. God Bless yall!

Hey Sean are you gonna keep making videos

I was watching the other friend's channel but I like yours buddy I don't know what it is Your content is so much different I like beards and Bikes better

@@BikesandBeardsenough with the bible verses. That’s where I stop watching and give the video a thumbs down

That's pretty cool.

Small world - This shop used to be down the street from me in Spring Hill. I'm pretty sure another youtuber, Vice Grip Garage is also in Lewisburg.

ADD? It's called PASSION! :)

So does Harley. Well u better be prepared 2b sliding. Across thpavement if u riding 1of these dreadfull HD piles. Go ask any nurse what she thinks of HD bikes, lazer pointers blinding 100's children, &pets, or bright green anti freeze, chemicals that smells& tastes sweet almost like kool aid. Very worst most notoriously poor handling example of end all in dangerous motorcycle configuration ever created in humans history pioneered by thIndian company/ embraced by thsnakes@ Harley Davidson. Since th70's I always used Harley &Co. as my hood ornament illustrater displaying finest example of what not 2ever do& how not 2b as an engineer or customer. They bow2 their idiot customers. U see these biker people locally, 50k bike front yard of a falling apart trailer home. These bikers have a "yea my obnoxious bike will put me in poorhouse hell& I gonna show that off" thing going. "And u all, u can deal with it while my engine says f-you without a muffler." Loooong flexy whippy frames set on nex2 zero suspension grossly excessive 890lb curb weights (b4 u plop on a 300 lbs of leather& meat) ...makes them flex even more. Especially if u riding out here. In pothole infested country roads. If so you (will, will, will) be going down. And hard. There is a reason these guyz wear leather more then any other motorcyclist. If I place 30 lbs on my Mt. Bike entire frame begins flex like sphagetti. Their front wheel weighs a good up2 80lbs (more then my entire too heavy electric moped) &that with wimpy little cowhorn skinny pot metal handlebars. Anything th engineers could have fathomed 2do wrong, thats what they went ahead&did. Mikes brother Ken from Minnesota came over 1time on some 1500cc behemothing it took 3of us guyz 2nervously dismount & walk him across 6" puddle. I have gone down on pavement many times I used 2cafe race 4years. Motocrossed even longer. Just slidding, sliding, sliding on pavement it feels like cold ice wearing 2your bones.

Amen to that

Love Harleys, Dave's shop is 40 mins from my house, it's great

HD has gone Woke-Puke. Don't care about them anymore.

Nope the cool shop owner was! That guy needs a channel

Huge shout out to Dave

Same here. If I ever add another Bike, it looks like I’ll be Driving from Texas to Tennessee to Buy one from Sean. The only Honest Dealer in America probably.

Once you know what a plasma arc sounds like, you just know. Learning young.

Made by British company Armstrong, licenced to Harley..

As far as I know the British Army only ever bought the 350 cc version from Harley. But the rifle carrier on Sean's MT 500 does look identical to the ones fitted to British Army bikes. A couple of MT 500 demo bikes were brought into the UK, a mate of mine bought one of them directly from H-D UK.

@@Boodaduk With an Austrian engine.

@@ekspatriat Cool, I always thought Rotax was Japanese. I learn something new every day!

Total agree , definitely Brit spec.

Are you serious? He thrashes everything he sits on! Have you seen him do a 0-60?! It's brutal to watch.

When is American not American? It is an Italian design with an Austrian Engine that was made in the UK and sent out to the US as a kit when HD bought the project. The project was sold as the engine couldn't be run NATO standard fuel which all new purchases had to have. It is a great example of HDs delusional grasping at straws and of British motorcycle history.

Check Armstrong UK guys. It is no more a US HD than a Honda....

It's like the early Bikes and Beards/SRK Cycles videos where half the comments were saying, "You need to get a real mechanic!" ;)

Looking at the rifle storage box, looks like the rubber is the same shape as an SA80 hand guard if you ask me

out of curiosity why would the British Army use them. They were Armstrong company or something built? just went with that contract rather than triumph or another British bike, or is Armstrong a British company.

Were you in a postie squadron?

I believe you are correct sir. 🤔

You beat me to it. The rifle is the L85a1 (sa80) ironically, they took the rifles of us not long into the conflict due to unreliability in desert conditions. God awful reliability with these bikes, just like the original rifles

I.remember when these came on the market almost immediately out of the surplus stores ,a lot of them made it over here as the bike is an armstrong mt500 at heart and we alresdy had loads, but years back i rememeber the harleys appearing amongst the ads from the old armstrong british built bikes.

​@@SquareWheelMediathey were unreliable in northern Ireland to lol nothing to do with the desert

Took my test on one of these in the early 80s in aldershot uk . As I was in the army we could us the 500 to learn on as it was the only bikes we had

It's a Museum/HQ not a drive up garage. Last thing they want is people dropping by for service. They let them shoot on the property and supplied some staff to assist. But no, they wouldn't even let them in the building.

@@badad0166 Aww quit with the HD apologist nonsense. Have you ever heard of a thing called public relations? A guy who has a rare HD bike and 1 million plus subs, you don't give a helping hand? Yeah right. They have a large collection of bikes and with that comes staff who maintains and is equipped with tools. So tell us all how an hour or two of their time would bankrupt the company?

@@kman-mi7su There is no mechanic on site, the museum's primary function is preservation, not restoration.

They have plenty of people there that could of helped. The dude wouldn't even let him sit on one. Its a Harley, not the Monalisa. I bet the dudes over at wheels through time would of been more than happy to lend a hand and probably let him sit on whatever he wanted, and those bikes are way more rare and expensive.

@@rm25088 No, they don’t, it’s a museum not a motorcycle shop. Go ask if you can sit in the Egyptian coffins at the Louvre, see how that goes 🤣🤣.

The most Honda looking Harley I ever saw!

I thought I was the only one who said that, love and respect brother

Awesome, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

@@BikesandBeards I did man. I enjoy all of your content. I usually watch a dozen old videos a week between drops. You do a great job 😀

We still miss Caleb 😢

@@FreeFincadw im still here

Also the rear weapon rack was perfectly sized for the 5.56 SA80 rifle. It had a centre stand also, part of the test was to kick start the bike and place it on the centre stand

An Italian design, with an Austrian Engine that was built in the UK and assembled in the USA to try and get a military contract, but failed due to not meeting the brief. I did my apprenticeship for a company in the UK trying to convert them to standard NATO fuel, not my department, but would see them around. I guess it was a failed project, why it was sold to Harley. Thorn EMI was the company, did a few military contracts, but mostly known for making lamps and renting TVs. It might have saved HD a few bucks if they had done so research first. The least American American bike ever, even your average honda probably has more USA made parts in it.
