The First American Dare Devils 

One wonders if he's aware of New Zealand's,Burt Munroe ?I'm sure he is.

Sounds like he doesn't watch the Isle of Man TT

@@VeritasEtAequitas Sounds like somebody's jealous.

@@VeritasEtAequitas Great viewing.

@@1953beetle Burt didn't die running bikes.

Is it his collection or does he curate for the museum?

@@djquinn11 him and his dad but his dad just passed away unfortunately.

H brother what do you want alll model old model of harley davidson AS A PAINTING ON PAPER WITH WATER COLOURS.

I am an artist

@Frank Bohacek hi sir !! My channel name is ""azhar art gallery"""on youtube !! Sir if you want then you can see my work!!

Just take a week and ride the area and visit you will not be disappointed it's been my go to place almost every year. I live in Michigan.

@Jack Amberson Same disease here, it's called adrenaline junkie, if it's not trying to break my own speed record on a motorcycle then it's working as an Ironworker putting up buildings and bridges. I don't know about anybody else but adrenaline's the best drug I've ever done, they should bottle that stuff, and the best thing is it won't show up on a drug test🤣🤣🤣.

That triple was the worst sounding engine in motorcycledom. I used to say they sounded like a coffee can full of rocks. I can't remember seeing one since the seventies.

@@stevek8829 appearantly you never experienced one first hand...so your opinion means jackshit!

Mine too when that rear cylinder started burping blue flames.

Most of these have been "restored". They're not original like he says. It means new paint, new parts even if they need to be custom made.

@Jeff Kopis Yep, just like Guy old Joe was all over the place, he'd of had his own RU-vid channel if it existed back then. Exactly why he was in the cockpit with Hughes I can't remember, I read once why he was there but it was so long ago I can't remember the particulars, I think he was actually working for him at the time but can't be sure.

Tough guys back then. I suppose they were proud that they were on state of the art race machines.

That's not true, his records been beaten several times with under 1,000cc streamliner motorcycle's at Bonneville, his record only stands in the S-FA class only but not just for "anything under 1,000cc", he was beat by over 15mph faster 3 years later in 1970 by a streamliner that was under 1,000cc called Big Red. Look up the official Bonneville records and you'll see he's been beat several times overall all in just under the 1,000cc class.

@@michaelofsc4143 Yea well Wikipedia doesn't explain that that's just in one particular class, it's not for ALL streamliner motorcycle's under 1,000cc. Bonneville's official records are listed on their site, look up "under 1,000cc", you'll see that there's 3 or 4 speeds that are faster than his.

@@dukecraig2402 ... Did you notice it said one record still stands and they recalculated another to a faster speed, in 2014. If I remember right, the Indian motorcycle company tried to beat Berts record with a newer bike, but they failed.

@@michaelofsc4143 His record is only in that particular class but not as a "under 1000cc" blanket, only in the S-FA class, which is "Streamliner, Special fuel (not gasoline), Special construction". There's been people beat that speed with gasoline burning machines in the 1,000cc and under class. The only reason his record still stands is because no one's ever built a machine to run in that specific class, it's real obscure, but people have gone faster in the same basic types of streamliner's that burned gasoline in under 1,000cc engines. Carl Morrow went over 202 mph 20 years ago on a Harley that had to have the original unmodified frame but was allowed to have fairings built for it but not a full streamliner body, granted it was a 1340cc instead of 1,000cc but still it burned gas and had the stock wheelbase without a streamliner body, just fairings. If someone tried at that specific class his record wouldn't be around for very long, look at the speeds, there's people going over 200mph on bikes that are stock frame, stock body work that burn gasoline.

@Kathleen Shaw No kidding? That's awesome! I'll have to look around the internet to see what i can turn up then. Long time mid town KC resident myself.
