    How many lives are changed by the presence of one man? Hundreds? Thousands? It's hard to say but Matt is one of those men that touches the souls of those around him in a positive light. God Bless You Matt...❤

    I almost cried while watching this video. Reminds me so much of my childhood days in our country, the Philippines. My dad has a Harley repair shop business in the early 50's and I grew up riding those sidecars as our main transpo. They're usually painted red like the one in the video, my dad;s favorite color, I presumed. By the age of 16 in the 60's I, together with my other big brothers was already doing harley repair works, engine overhaul and body works. My dad likes them as original as possible and even the smallest screw should be harley certified part. I learned a lot from him how values the every details of being a harley mechanic. I really missed those days.

    Complete overhaul and runs like a camp. The look on Stan's face when Matt said Don't Flood It, is priceless.

    I have always loved the older motorcycles. Now because of you guys I appreciate them more because every time I watch a video from you I learn something new. It is so cool how good they were designed and how user friendly they are. Really hope to have one that you and your team built someday that would be the best.

    I never knew Harley made a flathead beyond 36, Now I have a whole new outlook on flatheads and I am becoming a big fan. I have been around bikes my whole life and never knew it I am a flatheader now. I had Triumphs Nortons and BSA's and Harleys when I was finally able to afford one we would get a 900 iron head Sportster and though we were hot stuff.😂
