[GoodTimesChopShop]

Beautiful machine.

[tippycolfax]

You can always tell when someone"knows" their bike.

Sounds excellent !

...in the wind.

[taatayem]

@tippycolfax

Thank you for comment.

And I like there being always it in wind.

[saulocpp]

Nice horse, dude.

[taatayem]

@saulocpp

Thank you for comment.

It is the best good word for me.

[JTA5799]

LOVE THE BIKE, KEEP OLD IRON ON THE ROAD

[taatayem]

@JTA5799

I love motorcycles, too.

And I want to do RUN of the States sometime.

[qooky86]

Hey, we want our old Harleys back in the U.S.A... Send them back! Just jokeing. Your bike has class.

[taatayem]

@qooky86

The acquaintance with "the knuckle" of the fellow becomes me in this Japan for 16 years. And he says it; because "like Japan, live here"

[fluffydolly]

very kool!!!!

[taatayem]

@fluffydolly

Thank you!

Do you like Knuckle Head too?

[bigdaveonbass]

Old school...

[taatayem]

@bigdaveonbass

Do you like a chopper, too?

[bigdaveonbass]

@taatayem Yes, I do, but I ride a bagger. I had a '80 FXWG for a while, but sold it when my kids started driving and I got insurance poor. Once my kids are grown and gone, I plan to build a chopper bar hopper. That Knuck has a sweet cam lope at idle. Is it a 74"?

[taatayem]

@bigdaveonbass

Frame, crankcase, Springer are made in 38 years, and there is many producing it in the other parts for 40 years.

[taatayem]

@bigdaveonbass

Yes, capacity 74 of the engine is a cubic inch.

[Jimskateuk]

bet some work went into that tick over

[1971SuperLead]

Dude, your bike is fucking bitchin!

[soobeng]

Congratulation. you got one of the world's most beautiful bike. and it sounds so amazing. WOW.....you're a lucky man.

[taatayem]

Thank you for a special prize.

I am very lucky.

[luegemalda]

fucking nice idle....

[taatayem]

I like this idling, too.

And your Vincent Black Shadow1954 is very splendid.

[stratejakit88]

omg sexy old knuckle! no seat left tho lol

[taatayem]

Thank you for praising my motorcycle.

[ReDact45]

Very nice scoot. Ride safe.

[taatayem]

Thank you!

And I thank for gentle words.

[ironslede68]

very nice, i love old knucks, i ride a shovel right now though

[taatayem]

Thank you.

Please show the movie of your shovel

sometime.

[wid1967]

GOOD !!

[taatayem]

Your Harley is cool, too.

And your sensitivity is very good.

[hdnodoubt]

How can you get that old potato-potato idle sound?? I have an 87 1100cc stock sportster but can't get it to idle/sound like that. Do you have to change or modify something??..Cheers

[taatayem]

As for this motorcycle, the engine of a knuckle head made in 1938 becomes the base. In addition, the ignition time is made hand-operated late by the ignition time. Therefore I can make it low idling.

[hdnodoubt]

I can also lower the idle on my sporty but it would just stall or die. Mine idles perfect at 1000 rpm but still could not get that potato-potato sound. Some people says that changing the CAM might help. Is your CAM stock or did you have to change it?? cheers

[taatayem]

I do not change CAM.

Because I make the ignition time late by manual operation, idling does not do a stall. Harley of the old times controls the ignition time by manual operation. A right grip is an accelerator, and the left grip is the ignition time.

[wanderer1031]

this isn't really helpful at all but properly tuned ironheads sound just SICK!!!!

[kimnoerskov]

God damn... this Harley is fantastic and the sound of it is like sweet music to my ear. The sound is much better than the new Harleys.

[taatayem]

Thanks!

I think that there is the charm of the sound that became refined by having passed through time.

The sound of your Fatboy is good, too.

[specialed1942]

What year is the motor? 61 or 74 cu?

[taatayem]

I do not understand it in detail, but probably it is mixed a thing of from 38 to 40.and capacity is 1000cc.

[specialed1942]

Nice knuckle head.....Do you ride with Takkymac in Japan?.......Check out my black 42 knuckle......the other SPECIALED video is me riding a 49 panhead, my first time with a side shifter.....Still...nothing like a Knuclehead.

[taatayem]

Thanks!

I do not know Takkymac directly, but do the channel registration.

I owned Hydra Glide before, too.

It is only this Knuckle head now.

Let's enjoy Vintage HD each other.

[depoty]

nice bike, nice vid, nice sound !

[taatayem]

Thanks!

The motorcycle made in China is rare.

Please show a video understanding the form of your motorcycle sometime.

[snowbiker111]

wow beautiful bike!!! that thing is a chopper the way they should be... i like it alot

[taatayem]

Thanks!

I love chopper, too.

And my Harley is this form for 15 years.

[ZELPHOR]

NIce

[taatayem]

Thanks!

Do you have Knuckle Head too?

[ZELPHOR]

Oh man I wish. I've owned two bikes one was a 71 Triumph 650 Tiger and the other was an old Sportster. I'm sorry I sold them both. I appreciate people who maintain any of the old HD's. Good job

[taatayem]

I was sorry that you had sold Triumph650Tiger and Old HD Sportster.

It is hard to maintain Knuckle Head as for me, but the joy owning is more than it.

[ZELPHOR]

it's all good, I had just beem married and needed the money. Someday maybe I'll own another but if not. I get the pleasure of seeing classic bikes and know there are people out there who will keep them up and running.And you are right "the joy of owning and rideing" can help equal out money spent.

[taatayem]

I continue running.

And you should be able to run in a classic motorcycle of the best condition together sometime.

[taatayem]

>MESTREVIPER
