[iLOVEadamANDaj]

[kikujiro499]

bittchin´ bike!!!!

[55points]

Not sure whether I liked the bike or the kick start better. Jeezzus you got a mean kick goin there man. and no, its not a fetish..lol..just enjoyed watchin your kick startin it.

[kaveebee]

Anyone can press a starter button..........

[SquatchyActivity]

Its a sportster fag. And no i ride a panhead

[Drobium77]

Do these bikes have a decompression lever or something or do you just need a good strong leg to start it?

[SquatchyActivity]

@SAzeroKAL Theres a 62 right now thay i know of ridgid frame and everything ready to go. $2500. Sportsters (ironheads) were built for girls to ride. Theyre small and light. Thats why girls ride them.

[canadachop]

@SquatchyActivity your an idiot girls ride bikes that are kick only and hardtailed? that bike is badass and you probably ride a bicycle

[SAzeroKAL]

how much it cost?

[theedtree]

No good for a bank job get away then x_x

[greenc51]

too much work

[boxrecordz]

Nice ride

[starkumpel]

very hot, nice starting..!

[Knots4Knives]

Pretty cool old CH but it's idling too slow for a bike with. Magneto. The headlamp drain is probably it stalled.

[caferacervic]

to much oil around



[Jret13]

what front end is that? Looks kick ass

[jezzmoto]

Wouldn't wanna use it as a get away bike ; ) cool bike

[fahquoof]

Fucking retard runs his bike w/ no air cleaner. Good Idea ! 

[Greddybear]

@fahquoof relax ma man he does what he do

[xTheLDx]

@fahquoof That's how Burt Munro ran his.

[robociock]

what bike is that? i like it

[52hogan]

cool

[mowrman100]

I love these bikes but this one's got a compression leak on one cylinder. Hear it? No wonder it won't start and idle right.

[gjtlt1]

what a toilet

[KEV1N02Productions]

well, at least we know it wouldn't make a very good get away bike.

[StrelokTymochenko]

Sur YouTube, j'ai vu des tonnes de bobbers. Mais j'avais encore jamais vu un Bobber aussi beau et aussi classe! Superbe machine!

[420clinic]

what is the front end off of?and where do i find one?



[Hardcast1e]

what are the specs of your hardtail?

[surferaroulet]

si ca c'est pas la classe...ne la vends jamais..tu m'as bien compris..jamais!!!;)

[addicted1121]

Sweet bike.....where's the breather?? lol

[ibanezmnm]

angry,pretty,sexy...

[yz426clint]

i think it weard when people start a bike from the side?

[bubbatvbitch]

too high

[ckelley63]

Man the Ironhead has got to be the fucking best sounding Harley ever!!!!!

[nlmedic]

Kicks the shit out of the bling bling across tehh ocean!!!!

素晴らしい

[massethree]

@2220Blues because no one in the their right mind wants to put up with kick starting a bike for 5 minutes before it'll actually run, its also a safety hazard if u were to stall out and need a quick start to escape

[kaysandesses]

@massethree You have a good point about "quick start to escape", but if the bike is properly set-up, it can be started in 3 or 4 kicks every time. Turn on the fuel, pull out the enrichener, retard the mag, roll the engine through to compression, and kick it through. Each one is slightly different with the amount of throttle at start up, but it can be learned with a little practice.

[copokitapo]

@kaysandesses

Yeah right these mofo's were hard to start when the gas was right for them. Today even at their best you are looking at several kicks to get them going on pump gas.

[kaysandesses]

@copokitapo They're really not that bad if they're set up right. Good point on the fuel, gotta use either premium or octane booster.

[onizukaanata]

you put more effort on the kick starter..damn..wasting energy...what a rough bike..

[RockswithVox]

Could anyone give me some specific details on this bike or point me to some info on the web? What modifications has he done-if any? I have just recently gotten into Harley Davidson, thus, i lack the trained eye as some of you other enthusiasts. Thanks

[Boabiegringo]

Cool as Fuck

[struttinironhead]

I love the Ironhead, But that Knuckle head is bad ass too.

[countrytrucker01]

Nice!

[SenorOLEVINO]

THAT´S ALL?!!!FUCKING BOOOOORING!!!!



[falcon1163]

No wonder you don't see any antique Harleys in the United States anymore. These magnificent bastards have bought 'em all up and got 'em thundering in Japan. I didn't realize at how big the H-D subculture was in Japan. You go guys... and gals!!!

[npetrovi]

Best bike I have ever seen.... beats the F4

[npetrovi]

Best bike I have ever seen....

[crazzywolf37]

gata love working to start your bike i love kick start

[magnodk]

Hi I am from Denmark but I have se this shopping in kobe , many time I came bay just to look all the nice bike.kkk

[unclewilly2]

guys you are cool i wish i could do something for you Now !!! becaus the zunami.....

[712Dirty]

sounds like shit, your motor will last a lot longer if you run an air cleaner. your abusing a piece of history by not taking care of the air that runs through it

[LifeLongHacker94]

They run thease with out air filters?

[tempestadossa]

nice evil bike!

[govern99]

why is there no air filter on this?? no wonder your bike runs like shit. you're probably going to have to replace the pistons you dumbass

[mousehunter311]

Is this some kind of subculture in Japan? Wishing you were an American in the 60's?

[JooHaxDemoTaken]

@mousehunter311 Don`t flatter yourself yank.He likes bikes but that doesn`t mean he wants to be a fat, arrogant twat.

Have a nice day!

:P

[mousehunter311]

@JooHaxDemoTaken I wasn't even trying to be a douche.... I was asking a serious question. Way to be a dick for no reason. :] Have a nice day!

[JooHaxDemoTaken]

@mousehunter311 Lies!

[JSVyolence]

Is this the Knick-Knack bike in it's "before" stage?

[peterbiltpl]

what front end this is ,anyone knows?

[bubba7208]

@peterbiltpl looks like bigtwin ´49 up - replace the steering stem with one from a sporty, and you´re good to go

[skylinerintegra]

Where we goin' we don't need air filters!

lol

[FrankaDith]

He looked cool till he had to run to stop it from stalin ,he really didn't like kickin it at all .

There is no need to work that hard when starters have been around for 75 years fack!!

[misery13666]

@FrankaDith And some people would like to keep the vintage look and feel of their bikes. go modify your kawi ninja or whatever you ride (if you do). Plastics just will never understand riding old iron.

[FrankaDith]

@misery13666 Funny enough i ride a old Honda XL 600 R turned Hypermoto and its a kicker ,but with my knees being what they are i dont like kicking like i used to ,but point taken ,them Vintage are quite beautiful SORRY .

Sold my ninja two years ago and i miss little carver almost everyday ,i guess we all have our choices : )

[TomPauley]

Real men kick start real machines. Get real! or just push your feckin' button, wussies...

[1LadyRider]

all good. I have a 71. Well done!!! No Sporty injuries there

[1LadyRider]

all good. I have a 71. Well done!!!

[rednecklowlife]

ironhead snortster with a mag, cool!

[jkomen]

Love the paint on the on the tank, Anybody that does not like this bike just does not get it. Greetings from the USA.

[hndbll]

not back suspension??

[Lalann]

@hndbll You dont need it.

[AdamBostonLeone]

sick mate!!!

[chunkyfecalbreakfast]

where is air filter?

[zezimawanabefriends]

thats back when harleys ust to use chains lol thats how u no its old

[kkkkkkkkkmil]

These guys are real artists, not like the american shitty choppers, long forks, fat tyres, apes hangers, fuel injections, just a bunch of shit!!! LEARN!!!!

[AmericanMuscle85]

@kkkkkkkkkmil

If you think that about American choppers then you need to go look at my videos.

[mageac]

@kkkkkkkkkmil not all of them are like that, just the pos bikes that are usually on tv

[charliebuck697]

bandera001 up your ass faggot.Harleys aren't junk,your rice burner is.Lick my cornhole.

[Mechansus]

Sounds really cool! But a big to old bike.

[duncandeew]

probably the beautifulest bike i've ever seen

[Kylion22]

@duncandeew BEAUTIFULEST NOT EXIST ! ASD

[noushitaisa]

And then the bugger stopped.... Cue more leaping up and down... How do you spell masochist?

[garrytil]

@noushitaisa I spelled masochist as a dude who goes to a gym, grunts and groans to lift heavy weights so he looks pretty in silk under wear. This dude is just starting a cool motorcycle.  Go back to the shopping mall.

[noushitaisa]

@garrytil This dude is starting a neglected motorcycle that hasn't had the attention it deserves. That's why it won't run... Prick that you are...

[msgais]

Thats a sweet ironhead.

[bandera001]

You people make the best four cilinder motors on the planet and still want to be dealing with those v twins pieces of shiet?

[mrdevin1337]

rkerns337@comcast.net got a 47 knuck on a 58 pan frame. I feel the love when it fires up. Iam pushin 60 but still got leg. No battery pure mag , what a way to roll. ride on.

[69ParadiseRoad]

XLCH...the CH stands for CHARLEY HORSE!...

[thewalton]

@69ParadiseRoad the ch stands for Cick Hard ;)

[TheMaypo2]

@69ParadiseRoad correction, it means Xtra Large Charlie Horse...... ;)

[wingking077]

coolest harley ive ever seen

[bigcotie]

that needs a carb cover and sounds like shit . Fix up a Honda or something .

[Hixi1000]

cool sporty, im i seeing things. are those shovle heads no dat sporty. If so its a shovster very cool

[whiskeywilliams]

serious question for GonzaDeath. Do you run a battery? I didn't see one, but you may have hidden it well, or I'm just blind. If you're not running a battery, how do you have your headlights run?

[kruppcody1]

@whiskeywilliams the head lights run from the motor much like a coil gets its spark when its running, hope that helps

[jandean61]

why so many harleys in Japan ?

[whiskeywilliams]

@jandean61 Google the Basara MC, you'll find out why there's so many old Harleys in Japan, and why it's good that they are!!

[lostbuffalo]

@jandean61 cuz when they had money they spent it on something real

[Ghawdxi]

@jandean61 There is a huge Americiana subculture in Japan, especially around 1950s/ motorcycle/ greaser/ hotrod culture.

[baileytom78]

another nice bike Ya'll are very lucky folks.

[ifukdhhell666]

that seat....

[credman83]

B E A Utiful!!!!!

[mojonm]

This is in Japan

[gtiturbo18litre]

I came at 0:22

[pretol1]

Shit, I've kicked a lot of 650 thumper dirtbikes, but this looks like a sure way to fuck up your knees... 

[dabody06]

what kind of carb are you running ??

[Dusters7090]

first off i love the bike i have a 61 sportster ironhead chopper with extended girder front end. now a question for you or anyone who has a bike like this. does your bike ever kick back at you? mine sometimes will kick back and if i started it the way you do it would send me through the roof. i have to put one leg on each side and jump up and then fall on the kicker while keeping a limp knee. any one have the same problem?

[punkrockdj]

@Dusters7090 they call it sportster knee.

[Timduke525]

@Dusters7090 dude i got a 72 sporty. 1000cc, its about how you set your points. fuck that eletric shit! my bikes about to look the same with the wideglide and the santee hardtail.

[Louisxs650]

@Dusters7090

I think its because you timing (ignition) is backed up too much... it fires to early and the piston goes back down before the crank reaches TDC and it turns the cranck backward, hence the kick back . happened to me on my XS.. thought I broke my ankle!

[iplaycs3]

GIVE IT SOME GAS YOU NOOB! (thumbs up if you agree)

[GIwillo]

nice cafe bike dude

[Reedynn]

This is one of the coolest bikes on youtube

(magneto's are soooo fun)

FUCK FORWARD CONTROLS.

[voxproletariat]

Who made your pipe?

[schicktd]

Krazy after market forks...?

[Foolhollow]

Imagine trying to do this in a hurry...

[rampart1664]

Nice bike, what forks are they...? Theysure don't look standard.

[Greenmarine6]

LOL try doing that after 15 beers

[HeatherHell666]

that's an interesting exhaust on there. it looks like it gets ridden at least some. that's awesome, garage bikes suck ass. i don't care for the headlamp, the bars, the white, or the seat/fender thing myself and i like foward controls but shit, it's cool to see old metal still getting used ride hard and be safe !

[kranioo0]

rly awesome!

[madmitch105]

that's a cool semi-cafe racer set-up, i dig

[999iron]

I don't get it, a video of somebody kick starting a bike?

[Ghawdxi]

I effing love this bike.

[LazerSparks]

Coolness without trying.

[Demboledemi]

why don't they make cool bikes like this anymore. At the moment the best bet is Samurai Choppers but they are so freaking expensive.

[acedrumminman]

Yeah, great bike till you have to break it down every 1000 miles...

[arios53]

now thats a real motorcycle no japanese trash.

[fireblade95]

cool bike!

[chunhaylee]

Kickstarting a magneto fired bike! It doesn't get any more macho than that!

[ushouldntjudgeme]

The paint scheme on the tank reminds me of SO-CAL theme, really cool

[towerselgitano]

honda and suzuki the best

[YekAdameRadif]

@towerselgitano hahaha idiot

[d1incharge]

who needs an air filter when your working with such big ol' tough and sloppy inards.

[taytrong]

the Japanese do Harleys better than Americans

[wingking077]

its true, most harley riders in US are posers, and dont know shit about the old stuff

[naszeak]

boys in japan no how to roll ....

[powerofpaper]

@naszeak For boys in Japan to roll, they still need American motorcycles lol

[applejak2000]

@naszeak

They olnly know how to roll oOnly because they copied us !

[Katjump]

nice machine!

[greaserleo]

kick start ballet! - sweet engine, all unnecessary's removed.

[ex1le444]

man I'm goin to Japan, you guys have the best cycles!

[wingking077]

new harleys-posers

old school harleys- BAD ASS!

[crashkanzful]

@wingking077 ... How is EVERY new harley rider and or bike a poser? What an ignorant statement.

[BooneBright]

lol, I used to have a '74 Vespa which I think was the hardest little piece of shit to kick-start

[Dingleberry66]

o and sweetie its called a carb

[loveanianimeme]

why is there coming exhausts out of the side of the motor at 0:15?

[dalebfast]

its a backfire. burnt fuel coming out of the carb. Common among Harley's...

[loveanianimeme]

ohh...

[Dingleberry66]

vapor

[MortenBoHansen]

word!!! hehe, i fucking love it, its raw, simplicity in it self, the racing feel it has got to its look, man i'd love to own a bike only half as cool as this! plus it has a nice sound!

[dagosonfire]

any faggot talking shit on this bike or owner is a goon who cant appriciate a raw fuckin cycle,,,wpww

[tittiblaster]

gonzadeath...where can i get cafe seat like that? is it fiberglass or steel? are you using only the two struts to mount it?

[treborif]

I think you need an air filter matey - i can kick my ironhead over and ive got one leg! (the left one) - no ballet kix.

[scavenom2008]

kick start si just plain stupid

[garrittpwl]

well when your electric start goes out; or your battery is dead; your gonna want that kick starter

[powersliding]

welcome back gonzadeath

[lukeyboy900]

vieryuiop.. you can run a bike over here without a front mudguard.... or you could be anal and make a mudguard that about 3 inch long lol just to take the mick... i love choppers and pretty much live around them... building my own soon but its gonna be my 1st bike too o im kinda stuck about the engine size... i want a big harley engine but cxan only ride a 125cc on CBT... its crap... so i think am gonna make a show bike lol

[tuca999]

..i cant help, but it sounds like my mothers sewing-machine... XD XD XD

[171apples171]

I spent my whole summer restoring a 1982 Suzuki GS300L D model and when i see videos with bikes that look that cool, I begin to believe I'm wasting my time with that bike. I still gotta do a compression test on the thing and if the PSI doesn't go way up after i dump alittle oil in the spark plug holes, then I'll keep at it because the ring aren't bad. NICE HARLEY THOUGH!!!

[deedeecapone]

Nice machines!

Respect!

S.Y.L.O.

[vieryuiop]

That bike looks great Gonzadeath! Is it legal to ride without a front mudguard in Japan. I'm building a 70's 500 Yamaha flat-track racer and plan to run it on the road, but here in the UK you can't run without a guard. Maybe I'll move to your part of the world. Stay safe! Vieryuiop

[henerymag]

That joint pain your gonna feel is called " sportster knee"

[wanderer1031]

air cleaners are for japanese wussies
