Wheels through Time was an amazing stop!! Thank you all who made it out to cheer on the riders!!
It's one thing to see these old bikes running at the museum... To see them running across the country is nothing less than amazing!!
Thanks Matt for keeping the history alive...
We meet Gary at the museum in August. He was working on some electrical gremlins the JD but was more than willing to talk to us about the bike and the upcoming canon ball run. Whishing him and the rest of the riders the best of luck and a safe ride for the rest of the adventure!
My thoughts and Prayers for all those riders!!
I remember when the Cannonball came thru Rochester NH and I saw a "Wheels Thru Time" bike in the parking lot... It turned me on to these wonderful machines!!
Thank You, Matt!
Wonderful seeing these old bits of kit out and about and doing what they were built to do!. No 'preciousness or cosetting and no sitting in a museum gathering dust!.... Good on ya guys!. Nuff said. 🙂 Maddog Melbourne Aus
I had a chance to ride a JD about fifty miles. Those old bikers had some hard asses no doubt. Though it was not a Harley to get the feel of man and machine, read about Lawrence of Arabia's race against a British bomber. This man is my motorcycle hero. And those old bikes are a blast to ride.
WOW, just wow. I am so jealous of those folks. I wanna go. Greetings from Pismo Beach ..
So awesome!!!. I love this stuff, and I could see the happiness charging thru you Matt...thanks for sharing this awesome wonderful event.
So cool in this day and age!! Good luck guys!.
Good luck Gary! Best of wishes to all the riders!
What a trip it would be to see all these old bikes running across country, great to see an Australian showing how to do it too, Rj in Oz
Great segment. Those guys and their bikes are truly epic. Hats off to Lonnie Isam!
Just awesome! Hope it continues for a long time and I hope that the kid's get to see this too.
So cool the Cannonball Run still rolls. I hop Gary makes it all the way to CA.
Love this stuff! Incredible!
Hey Matt Jean here from Ont Canada ,just wanted to say this is so cool to watch looking forward to the next video thanks for posting this.
Great great stuff! Some of the coolest that ever was or will be!
What a brilliant video so looking forward to the next episode
very cool video. Love seeing those old bikes out riding.
Amazing
What an adventure!
Go Gary go!!
Wow! Makes the London to Brighton run, here in the UK, look a bit tame.
Your Pal that converted his early Indian 'dry cell' ignition to work with rechargable 18 volt drill batteries is my kind of motorcycle geek. 😁
That's fun man
"Nice Save" Matt !
So cool. I'd love to do this or the Cross Country Chase. I imagine there's a big difference between a 1909 and a 1940 motorcycle. Id like to get the newest bike I could qualify on.
59 seconds in - will the bike make it? Yes. Gary? Maybe but I think so.
This is so awesome
This is so cool!
40 years ago I bought a Harley that was 40 years old... I hope it's still chugging along out there somewhere...
I love it, I am putting this event on my bucket list.
That sure looks like a good time. Even for the spectators. Do you think they'll ever bring back Board Track racing? I helped my father rebuild his 1927 Peashooter.
All i can say is 🇺🇸 God Bless Gear Heads !!
Like that guy said it is better to see them on the road then a museum
Amazing to see the old machines run cross country.
Yeah, I have an old British Army motorcycle which I ride around the neighborhood; with those Lucas electronics I feel lucky if I make it home.
Awesome!
that is so awesome
What fun.
❤
I need updates every few days and you need to fly to California for the finish...
If i get lucky and win the 37' knucklehead I'd love to do this ride 😎👍🇦🇺
What about riding the homemade bike in the back room collection
That’s cool
WOW !!!
Go Garry Go!
Nice
Few years ago, i think 2017 when they rolled out of new jersey to california they made a stop at my local harley dealer (Chesapeake Harley Davidson) and a guy on an Indian twin blow a valve through the head of his front cylinder and another guy on a shovelhead i think it was had a pushrod go through his gas tank causing the bike to go up in flames
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Matt your a legend ! Your father will be so proud of you 😭
😎💯✌
Well it's three months later I wonder if gary made it
Sure, you can ride a 95 year old motorcycle 3,800 miles if you don't mind stopping every 50 miles and fix it constantly, just like when it was new!
my god and american his so big
All I have to say is WOW!!
Couldn’t get yourself to feature any of the Beemers that are participating?! Very disappointing. #38 1931 BMW R2 and #157 1929 BMW R11 are still going strong. Wish you guys weren’t so biased! But glad you support the event nonetheless.
1909 being ran off a Chinese battery. SMH. Disgrace.
Awesome event and stunning to see older bikes with real life enthusiasts running them like it was a 100 years ago. Here’s to the next 100 years 🏴
Are the route sheets available for past Cannonballs? Seems like it would be a fun journey to take.
So awesome! Wishing and praying for safe riding for everyone!
Keep us updated, race looks a lot of fun
Superb, a mobile motorbike museum, there's some lovely old bikes there, not sure modern machinery will be running a hundred years from now.
Wow I have a 1997 Yamaha royal star and I had it for 2 months now. All i did was buy new tires and fix the wire to the fan so it don’t overheat. It’s been so fun and I’m so happy now. Today I will ride my bike in the cold and rain going across New Mexico
Matt your are such great guy. I learn something everytime I watch a video.
That was a fantastic day and let us know how he makes out with the clutch
WOW...I don't know how he made it at all with that clutch falling apart.....Thanks again Matt...From an Old Flying Shoe🇺🇸
I rode my 48 el pan east coast to west coast in 4 1/2 days, Hardtail. slept for a day afterwards, and hurt for a week. Man the 1970's where great!
I left San Diego California for Daytona Florida on December 31. I had 5 days till first day of
School at A.M.I.below freezing crawling in weekend
R.V. traffic almost quit due to
Painful cold brand new leather
Gauntlets with hollowfil insulation waterproofing & seamsealed but I remembered my gortex mittens so ok.warm sunny had dinner at McDonald's in
The desert was raining and
18 22 degrees until Beaumont
Texas where my Kz 750 lost
Spark 3 guys in El Camino stopped I had five bags and left my bike at the barb wire
Fence lucky for me they insisted I put the bike in the
Back and they dropped me off
At a motorcycle junk yard it was closed and Friday after five . Nothing to eat or drink
Till Monday the owner sold me a cdi box soldered my coil
Wire and threw n a side cover
For $80 and put 50# fishing line on both side covers. I kept at 80mph (except for crawling out of my San Diego ) got a speeding ticket in New Mexico once I hit the
Pan handle I opened it up and
Did 140 except when I saw cops which was maybe a half a dozen times always two or three units stopped and ticketing cars I passed everything except for one
Sport bike as I was nearing Jacksonville and he must have been doing close to 180
Or 190 my after market gauges were right on the money I had found out in New
Mexico. After Jacksonville I did the speed limit and got to
School in time took the motorcycle mechanic course,
Then the Harley Davidson course volunteered to be a
Corner Marshall for the 50th
Daytona 200. That was the first time a v twin won since
The four cylinder Japanese bikes started racing there it wasn't a Harley but Doug Poulen #23 on a Fast by Farachi Ducati (please excuse
If I misspelled anyone's name)
And he not only won but set a
Track record. I worked the corner to the right of the stands. On the Saturday before
The 50th 200 a bike went down the rider was unconscious I had a little trouble getting him off the track - his arm was up to
His shoulder between his rear
Fender and wheel the clutch was inoperable the shifter bent and jammed we were right in the middle of the track
I didn't want to red flag and I told my helper not to indicate
What side of the track the bikes were coming out from the haybales at 90 mph some
Went to the right of us and some went to the left of us.
The first thing I did was check
If the rider was breathing and
A beautiful nurse was right there before I could check for
A pulse . The next day the Sunday paper had a front page photo of just the bike
And rider. Two weeks later I was on my way back home,
I was fourth in my standing by
Two hundred of a point when you train to be a Corner Marshall, down at Moroso and
You work the races your grades go down but it was fun!

Great story!!! Thanks. Reminds of my loner rides all over 60-80’s sleeping and fixing under the stars
Exciting video! Thanks much!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Even on a modern motorcycle this would be a hard ride,great too see history coming alive
I’m 78 and I respectfully disagree. Nothing but a great time each day a few hundred miles in the wind. Back up crews, motel beds, cooked meals. Nice party. A leisurely vacation on a motorcycle. Couldn’t think of a better 2-3 week vacation.
Cry about a little sore ass. Oh well
You must not ride much.
@@dawnmathis2659 At the moment no, due to illness, but i have ridden all over Europe on my little Guzzi, ( 38HP)right around Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland and lots of Germany, plus the UK, often through the night to arrive someplace, however our roads are not wide and smooth like yours, they are narrow, and many have a 2 thousand metre drop, nor are their food parties and stuff awaiting, and often the weather is vile, snowing and heavy rain, I have covered 500 mile sin one day, but I felt it, 300 is a reasonable distance, now on your straight roads, I would pick a Yamaha Fjr and use the throttle and cover 600 to 700 a day with ease
You must just go from your house to Grandma's house. A cross-country ride on a Honda 1800 goldwing a piece of cake.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Saw them come through Concord, NC @speedwayhd. Amazing group.
Great job getting Gary going again Matt!
Thank you Matt and company for hosting us!
Just visited the museum on September 15 first time being there it was absolutely amazing
Very nice, like a NASCAR pit stop awesome job 💪
What alot of fun this run looks like, these old bikes are proving their worth 💪
Wish them all a safe run "go Indian"👍
should have been a part 2 to this ??
❤ love them cannonball runs that so cool
Anyone can go cross country on a new bike. This is the challenge of real hardcore bikers
As Matt follows Gary out he says WTF I'm on Dads 1915 let's keep going it's only 3000 miles 😂
Give me a 1920's Indian Scout over any Harley.
I think it's about time that more Indians were featured on your channel.
Remember Indian was the first motorcycle company to build a v-twin.
Harleys may rattle apart but somehow they get you there even when missing parts.
That’s way cool. Fixed the clutch and a escort out of town
They didn't have locktite back then
Very cool!
Best channel on UA-cam.
Where's "Fass" Mikey Vils?
Good luck competitors
Living the life
Awesome ❤
That is a great event thank you for bringing it to us , I like the channel 👍😎
Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe.
If he can't, I can. 1910s to 1918s here. Guys got anything else besides Harleys and Indians?
Are you asking about the museum? If they have other makes? They have tons different ones. All American made and they all run!!
