To me this is how all 100 year old bikes should look. Not brand new paint and shiney chrome. Your carrying on the family biz very well matt. I know dale is up there grining watchin the 39 fire on the first kick.

@terrymoore9185 Год назад

That's badass!

@G58 Год назад

Well it certainly works as a metaphor for manufacturing industry in the USA. The only question is how much new rust will accumulate while the majority figure that out…!??👀🙄🧐😎😜🙈

@bryanmccomas7480 Год назад

Bad ass, made in USA

@tyler1671 Год назад

No the 37 they did for the giveaway bike last year shoulda been done the way it was

@dylanmccallister1888 6 месяцев назад

I disagree unless its just for display Because bikes should be ridden. And if you kept riding it in that condition you wont have a bike to pass on to the next generation of caretakers. And that is all we are, caretakers. We pay for the privilege to be caretakers not owners of these old bikes. They should be restored and ridden, thats the best way to keep them in working order and in good condition in perpetuity

@Ed-cg7dl Год назад

I think this style of restoration better represents the level of quality present in these earlier American bikes. The fact that this looks AS GOOD as it does after all these years and abuse is testament to Craftsmanship and pride in work that we seem to be missing more and more each passing year. GOOD WORK. This is why I watch wheels through time - this is what makes you guys my favorite out there doing it.

Love your channel…why? If my Dad (born in 1922) were alive he would be 102 and had bought a used souped up knucklehead when he came out of the Navy after WII. Like many others he just wanted to live life to the fullest after the war. I can clearly remember him explaining about the gear shift on the side of the gas tank. I have only one black & white picture of his bike, I have to try and find in my keep sakes. Your channel brings sort of bring my dad back to life. Thank you!

I can’t believe the sheet metal is so straight! I’ve been a body man for 40 years and I’ve restored a ton of antique cars ,bikes,gas pumps,coke machines etc. I also own a 39 EL and it has to be painted to hide all the repairs to the fenders gas tanks and oil tank. I could only dream of finding one so straight! Nice one Matt!

@timothyschamber6339 3 месяца назад

I'm not even into bikes, but damn I love this channel. True passion, knowledge, precision, and solid production value keep me coming back over and over. Thanks for the proper history lessons on some ridiculous bikes. We need more dudes like you! And damn that bike sounds good!

@scottarmstrong1172 Год назад

I've never seen a basket case that was so complete. How often does that happen? It certainly made it to the right place! Great job on the restoration (as always). That is one sweet bike. I can't wait to see it in person.

@222foont Год назад

I absolutely love this "rustoration"! I support your decision on this project 100%! This is the way it's done!

@gregshamieh6339 Год назад

As somebody that saw this bike as a pile of parts in tubs, it's just stunning to see her back together, complete and running. Sweet piece of work and a sweet bike.

@BackroadExploits Год назад

Not a big fan of rat rods or rusty rides, but this thing would have anyone grinning from ear to ear to own. Matt this is a thing of beauty that you and your team/family can be very proud of!! I do enjoy how freely you share your knowledge of these museum pieces too. Congratulations on a job very well done!

@rickharper6320 3 месяца назад

I love the “sewing machine” sound of the engine !!! Muffler sounds great !!! Nothing barks like a knuckle !!!! Brings back many fond memories !!!

@PDLM1221 Год назад

Sweet , nice job putting this back together, I noticed just before you started it there was a whoosh of air blew in , you can see the leaves moving , it’s like the bikes spirit blew in to come back to bring this to life again. I’m not a freak , but I couldn’t help but noticed that.

@nathanbrownmolotov8697 Год назад

Another great bike brought back to life. You are a miracle worker.

@seather863 Год назад

Fantastic 39, can't wait to see it in person👍.

@lukemurdock2236 Год назад

Your love for these machines is infectious !!!!!!! I love learning from your videos .William S would be proud of your dedication to his masterpiece !

@mickgerard6696 Год назад

Fantastic. Nothing like that first start on a project. A high that no drug or alcohol could ever give a gearhead. 😎🏍

@cosmovet44 Год назад

This bike looks like a total sleeper. Great job to get this together and back to running condition.!!

@michaelmitchell5909 Год назад

Absolutely amazing. It only fired on one kick because you put it together Matt...

@lawrenceklein3524 Год назад

After owning my '47 El Knucklehead for 40 years, watching this video is a sight for sore eyes! Seeing all the familiar sights creates a flood of old memories! (Especially the downtubes with side-car loops!) Hmmm; is that an M32 Linkert carb?

@dallas7346 Год назад

Beautiful rustoration and runs like a top.

@georgewanner8859 Год назад

Beautiful bike can't wait to see in person will be there in June with some friends who haven't been before I was there last year for the first time and will be back as often as I can. Keep up the good work 😃 love you guys

@rexburch4146 Год назад

I'm not sure who has more passion for this old bikes. You or your Dad, Love the history lesson I'll be heading your way come Aug !!! I'm super STOKED to visit the Museum !!!!!!

@deejackson5930 Год назад

Sounded so good I had to put on headphones and listen twice. Your laugh when it started told the whole story. Well done.

@scottmartin356 Год назад

Congratulations! Thanks for taking us on the journey!

@RXRSawdustStation Год назад

Fantastic work! Awesome! She sounds AMAZING! Well done, all! Thanks for the trip!

@keeptwowheelsdown Год назад

I was right. After procedure, one kick! Great looking basket bike sir! Keep up the good work

@madeinfoxtrap5539 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful job Matt. Dale would approve I’m sure. This is from the era of manufacturing that produced machinery that was made to last. Now we are in the plastic era where everything is cheaply mass produced and don’t last jig time. Keep up the great work. Love your old bikes.

@lukepaulson3428 Год назад

Brings a smile to my face every time you turn one of these beauties over. Gets me every single time. Awesome!

@bluzzjazz Год назад

Matt is a walking/talking museum of motorcycle history and mechanics. Matt, if you see this, it's time for an Indian restoration!

@alindanaomi9101 Год назад

@TrainMaster04 Год назад

Great video! I plan on visiting the museum this July so I will now be looking for this incredible bike.

@daveco1270 Год назад

It was cool to see Matt show up on American Pickers tonight. (The rustoration bike was in the background in many shots.)

@irineumf Год назад

Just perfect! Rustoration is the best definition... Greetings from Brazil!

@greasyboykustomsdandalessa8234 Год назад

Freaking awesome. You and the team did a great job. I'd love to see a "rustoration" as a giveaway bike in the future!

@vince4005 Год назад

Outstanding! That's a beautiful Knuckle! Thanks for the ride Matt!

@adamprue9187 Год назад

I miss Dale. Matt, thank you for your passion and knowledge teaching me on some machines I will never build or ride !

@justinkeller9187 Год назад

Absolutely love it in this finish! You guys are masters! Thanks for sharing

@kevinreagan9541 Год назад

Memories Bought a 1942 knucklehead back in 1976 rode the wheels off of it for years After watching this video now I want to get it running again Been parked for 15 years for health reasons

@michaelalbert8474 2 месяца назад

@2000tc88 Год назад

I could listen to you talk about these bikes all day Matt. I recently got a 61 ci 46 so I am biased towards the knuckles but love all the bike you have there. Have to cross the big pond again one day soon.

@1wesleydb Год назад

This motorcycle build should have a link to Wikipedia for Basketcase. Awesome work.

@marlonbrando9279 3 месяца назад

Absolutely stunning , such a wise choice to maintain that gorgeous period patina.

@jessebravo2090 Год назад

Outstanding job Matt...looks great

@johnsearl6431 Год назад

great stuff.....awesome gates.....matching patina with the knuckle head

@pipersall6761 6 месяцев назад

I understand the value of 'rustoration' but man, that bike runs and sounds so nice and everything works so well, it sure would be nice restored. Great bike!

@watchjaredwork1487 Год назад

Beautiful job. Loved watching!

@douglashine9638 Год назад

@gregmcbee2585 Год назад

That is awesome. Something made me smile today.

@JOHND_RC День назад

Hands down the most beautiful motorcycle ever !!!

@roderernst9990 5 месяцев назад

Funny but the rusty look is trendy here now,perfectly fine old utes, bikes having the paint stripped off and chemically rusted ,than clear matt applied! Definatly no holes in their petrol tanks to be repaired. Lovely work and great result for a nearly complete rare Knuckle, down to nuts, bolts and accessories! Thanks for picking this road to go down with this restoration.
