I Bought the Legendary “ROADOG” Motorcycle(to Ride)

I worked at a motorcycle shop back in the 60's and saw a photograph of this same motorcycle, and somehow I got it and it is still hanging in my bedroom. I have always wondered if it was just yard art, or if it really ran and drove. You have answered that question I asked over 60 years ago. What a awesome creation, and to wonder how long did it took to fabricate this machine? Thom

It's actually true! The prophecy has been fulfilled!!! Most manliest motorcycle ever, I'm about 99.7% Sean's beard grew 1 inch as soon as he sat on that bike... 😂

I am 72 years old and I am from Croatia. I have seen the picture of this monster in Yugoslavia newspaper when I was maybe 17 years old and I have never forget this motorcycle.

I'm not a motorcycle guy but this video put a smile on my face... the amazing story of the bike and how it was put back on the road was fantastic. Well done, guys!

I was about 12 years old when I learned about Roadog and Wild Bill.. i saw a picture of it in an encyclopedia and i imagined myself riding it.. then i closed the book and thought I'd never see it or hear it ride.. Thanks to this video, I heard it and saw it in action.. and who better to ride it than someone I hold in such high regard.. Sean.. you "rock" brother.. much love..

I saw Bill and that bike twice at my grandparents bar in the early 70s in Ishpeming Michigan . I talked to him myself both times he was nice to me . I was 8 years old .

Dude, this is actually a great episode. It seems like you have taken a step up in production. I love the history and seriousness and story driven episode, not just a "we bought the cheapest/most expensive thing on Amazon". Those videos could be done with anyone with a camera and money, and everyone owns a camera, they're just too broke to do it. This is different, this has history and a story behind it. Buy more one of a kind things with a story, these rare gem videos are awesome!!! God bless brother. I'd like to refer to ROMANS 12:9 for a second with you. "Cling to what is good". These videos are great for you, cling to this style of production.

Sean, I’ve got an idea for you. We have a legendary motorcyclist / snowmobile racer / drag racer up here in Mn named Marv Jorgensen. The guy is the Evel Knievel of the Midwest. I think it would be awesome if a YouTuber with your level of nostalgia and motorcycle knowledge would do a interview with Marv. He was a Boss Hoss dealer and still rides like a teenager running from the law as he moves through the retirement years. It would be great for us to hear his story and have it in a digital memory bank for all future generations.

That thing is surprisingly QUIET. Wasn’t expecting that. Crazy😳

I remember seeing this bike in the Guinness Book of World Records back in the 80s. I was just a little kid then, but man did that bike leave a lasting impression on me! Thank you for doing this video, I always wondered what happened to Road Dog.

Two really genuine good guys w/ a father looking down on his son with a huge smile. RIP Dale . Thanks for another great video + scripture

I thought the road dog was housed at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Iowa? I saw and took pictures of it there. The museum recently closed which may explain the availability of the bike.

Congrats Sean! Some might not get it… But this is part of American motorcycle history! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

That is pretty wild. I hope the owner of the other bike reaches out and you are able to get the 2 of them back together again.

Honestly, this is one of the best things ive seen this year!! I saw something about the Roadog years ago when all those chopper shows were on tv. Even internet searchs said very little, and the bike was supposedly in a collection. So not just finding it but riding it too, less "training wheels", that experience had to be without words!! Thank you for this!!

I’m sitting in Frankfurt airport waiting on a flight and this is the best way to wait. Seeing Sean and Matt ride Road dog is an amazing thing to see. Do a road trip with Matt now, please.

This was one of the scariest bikes I had ever ridden. Who thinks I need to road trip this bike ?

😂 That is the ONLY bike two men can ride on together without people laughing 😂

I'm so glad these legendary pieces of history will not be shoved in some garage of a private collection not to be seen on the road again! CONGRATULATIONS on your new acquisitions. I hope too see more videos of them in the future. The history, and the bikes themselves, are very awesome, and actually works of art. Bill's story, up until his premature demise, is extremely interesting. What an Engineer and Fabricator he was!

I'm 60 and remember seeing pictures of this madness when I was in my teens. I'm so happy I watched this vid, and honestly, I was pretty nervous for you leading up to your ride. I'm glad it worked for you, and I want to see you road trip the Roadog! 😎👍
