More Sam please. Old man motorcycle wisdom. The fact you opened the trailer and he immediately said 78 Harley and then looked it up and down and knew everything about it. Fantastic

I learned this from living in biker neighborhoods in Southern California. The trick to getting your Harley running perfect and tuning it perfectly is you gotta do it in a crowded neighborhood at 3 AM, get it running, and just keep revving it over and over and over as you tune it, but if you don’t do it at 3 AM it isn’t gonna stick.

Back in the late '70's (yes...I'm old) the local Harley dealer had the shop walls lined with the stock 2-1 exhaust systems taken from brand new bikes because they were 'too quiet' and everyone wanted the staggered drag pipes. It was SO funny that Harley had spent a lot of time and effort making an exhaust that worked well...but everyone took it off losing 5-8 horsepower just for the look and sound they wanted. Never let it be said that Harley owners aren't a special breed of cat.

Although I appreciate and watch both bikes and beards and Craig's channel, I do miss watching them both together in 1 video. God bless ya

You should call the trailer Buddy Haully

Best roadside repair for a stuck float bowl is to turn off fuel, run bike till it dies then blow into the over flow tube…good to go with no tools…works every time 👍🏻

My first real motorcycle was a 76 sportster. Put 44,000 miles on it. Even drive it in the winter as it was the most reliable thing I owned but that’s being eighteen and no money. Lol

Man I love Dave, He is such a genuine guy, and very knowledgeable. He's helped many people and makes the world a better place. Also thank you Sean for your love of motorcycles and putting this channel together. I'm sure it isn't easy.

One suggestion. Take the extra key off the ring. It flops around and scratches the chrome on the horn cover.
-
I bought a 78, in a basket, and built it. Only thing I wish was duel disc on front, and a rear break that at least acted like it did something

My wife of 44 years rode a '72 Ironhead Sporty for 13 years. She loved that bike.
-
I love ironheads, they only run as well as the mechanics knowledge, been wrenching them since 77, any ironhead I build I wouldn't hesitate to ride cross country if I only had the time, Did a 8,000 mile trip in 2013 in 12 days, never got out the tools, just rode that bike a few days ago, close to 70,000 miles since the rework. also have several shovelheads, same story with them.

Had a friend that bought a 78 sportster back in 98. Died five miles from the dealership on the day he bought it. We gave up trying to fix it and took it to the local Harley guru. His first words were "I wondered who would be dumb enough enough to finally buy that bike." Told us he would give anyone $500 if they were able to make it to Amarillo and back on those bikes without a major breakdown.
-
That would suck to pay 2000 dollars at a motorcycle shop getting your bike all fixed and tuned up.. just to have the tuner say it needs to be tuned up.. 😂
-
That trailer is sick!! I gotta be honest, walking through that shop and then seeing your little trailer I was underwhelmed to say the least. Then you opened it, and my life changed forever! No only kidding my life is still the same, but that trailer is friggin incredible!!
-
I bought one of those for 7000 and I sold it at a massive lose of 2000, just because I thought asking anything more would be a rip-off, and I put a brick through the dealer's shop window.

My mom is in hospice and bought me a Yamaha Bolt because she wants to spend her money before the doctors drain her bank account on her way out. Anyway, I'd like to paint it candy dark purple in her honor, as she loves purple. Does anyone know any good paint shops with fair prices in the Pittsburgh area? Thanks! Also, we have been waiting over a month for a new video, glad to see you back. God bless!

That trailer manufacturer is pretty sweet
-
I wish you could find brand new cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s, still "new in box", just waiting to have the plastic coverings removed and the gas tank and crankcase filled.

Buckhorn bars are one of the most ergonomic style handlebars, but people often screw up their install. They are meant to lift up and come back down, the ends should be facing downward, not horizontally. Turn those bars downward about 20 degrees and watch how much more relaxed your wrist angle becomes. Although those are very early buckhorn bars and not as good as the newer style ones.
