      It definitely smokes well, I wonder if does have any rings in it, lolol. The moniker peace pipe sounds good to me. Hell I got a contact buzz just watching the video. Cool machine!!

      I would think that would be up there for one of the rarest Harley and Indians ever made especially if there isn't many of them left floating around and if it were mine I would throw a set of rings and bearings in it to make sure everything is up to complete running order have the carburetor rebuilt and throw a set of tires on it and some lights and ride it just as is atleast every once in a while but when I'm not riding it and it's just sitting on display I would have the original tires and wheels on it and if it's not meant to have lights on it I would take them off to sit on display but that bike is begging to be ridden

    My dad told me as a child that all they need is air, fuel, and fire. Then she'll fire off. I'm 39 now and have been a GM dealer mechanic for 19 years, and I will say it's more complex, but the basics haven't changed. It's just harder to figure out why it doesn't have one of the three.

    What an incredible piece of history, glad it made it to where it belongs (at Wheels Through Time, of course!). Plus I got another instance of what's become my favorite phrase here: "There's only one other in the world" usually followed by Matt pointing across the room and saying something like "and it's right over there" 😂

    Nothing like starting up a vintage bike for the first time.
    I started my 1968 XLCH the first time after sitting indoors for 34 years! After doing some basic prep just 4 kicks and she fired right up! Smoked like a fright train at first but now…absolutely no smoke at all and pulls hard like a freight train! That thing may comeback without a ring job.

    Matt, yesterday the family and I were on our way home from a short holiday, and I suggested we stop at Doc's HD in Shawano WI so the kids could see the animals and the wonderful museum Steve has there.
    While showing the kids the shop and such, Doc was in his shop getting a cannonball bike ready, and while talking to him, I looked on the wall and saw a big picture of a Gelbke auto 4 with 2 people on it, and he said "yea, that's me and Dale Walksler driving". My mouth hit the floor, and he proceeded to tell me the fascinating story of how that all came about with the show what's in the barn, and how wonderful of a Man your Dad was. Steve also told us some History on Wild Bill, and the stories of the 2 auto 4's that were built. He also showed us around and we saw some incredibly rare peices. I could listen to stories like this for hours. Of course, the kids were getting impatient, lol.
    The moral of the story is that I appreciate what you are doing there as well as Doc in the preservation of history, and I appreciate the passion that you people have for the History, and the stories alike.
    I have never been to your museum, but I swore to everyone there that I would 1 day visit Wheels Through Time. Thank you for what you do, and thank you for taking the time out to make these videos. God bless.

    Yes it will run and it will take 2 kicks after the prime kicks. Pretty cool old bike. I don't know if I'd give it new rings or not. Maybe soak it in some penetrating oil the old rings may just need to be freed up. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
