So glad you included the "Full" instructional video, with tips on removing the bike from the garage. I can't even count the number of times I have ridden in circles inside my garage, because no one shared this information with me.
"After congratulating himself on a job well done, the rider can now demonstrate his satisfaction to all of his neighbours..." A fair percentage of the coffee I was drinking shot out my nose when I heard that. Nice bike by the way.
If there are no Harley's in Heaven, I dont want to go. The sound of a Harley makes me smile every time, no matter how bad my day has been. Doesnt matter if it is chopped, ratted, or chromed. They all sound like angels! :D
Nice video, especially the part about reassuring your loving neighbors that you (or your bike) are doing "OK". Should mention the increased muscular development of the right leg in most Harley riders of that era, something that is getting lost with current electric start technology! Great vid, happy riding, Ciao, L
You rock, man. I just got done reading the Hell's Angel's ridealong book by Hunter S. Thompson and they mention the CFMC a lot and the Hessians a few times too. I love hearing stories like yours, you need a blog or something some day! Killer bike, as well. Those forks are ridiculous!
Most people have no clue how to kickstart a bike. Their idea of starting a bike is, 1) Insert key and turn. 2) push start button. Which is why I love my harley! Kick start only, right side shift. Most people who might want to steal it would break their leg starting it. (has some SERIOUS compression!) and if they got past that, they would wrap their ass around a utility pole when they discovered the shift is not where they thought it was... or the main brake... LOVE my bike! :D
Just checked in after a long while. FWIW a few responses to comments: *It's a foot clutch/hand shift Jockey lid with three neutrals. Correct, I always check to make sure it's in one. Correct, the bike wouldn't roll if it was in gear. *It won't idle when first started unless I leave the enrichener engaged. *The headlight might be a little loose and rattle. So do my balls. *I'm a former Chapter Pres. of the CFMC. Later I went on to become the West Coast Pres of the Hessians MC. HFFH stands for "Hessians Forever, Forever Hessians". *The lightening bolts were given to me as a present by a good friend. Like any art, you're free to draw any conclusion as to what they represent. They have a certain meaning to me but interpret them as you wish, just don't assign your meaning to me or others. *Thanks to those that posted positive comments. The negative opinions are your right as well - if there were no differences of opinions there would be no horse races. I will say however that I can't be insulted if I don't value your opinion.

i like old sportys.. my dad had a 71 xlch and it was a mean bike.. it had drag pipes with a little upsweep and the end with fish tails.. and it looked mean too.. i loved that bike
I brought mine an old friend custom built from his wife after his passing, before he got sick, he had done an oil change and forgot to put the oil cap back on and took it for a ride, which spilled out a lot of it oil, so he stripped out the engine to have it serviced to make sure it didn't cause internal damage, when he got it back, he was very weak and never got the chopper put back together before he passed, so when i got it, it was in pieces, never worked on one, never rode one, a year later, i got it up and running and been riding it for a year, i was told by everyone i wouldn't be able to get it running and i shouldn't start with riding a chopper since i never rode any motorcycle, i shut those MUTHER FUCKERS up, i would never part with it, it's keeps my friend memory alive and he was right when he told me, "you got to feel the ride, its greatest feeling you'll ever have."
Just for some of you girlies' info, I was a Chapter Prez of the Chosen Few MC before becoming a Hessian MC member. The CFMC was and is 95% Black. Chew on that. As for the SS, it just might be a kill symbol on a killer bike - my father was killed by the Nazis while entering France on Omaha Beach 90 days before I was born on Oct. 6, '44. I'm responsible for what I say and display, not what you understand. Have a nice day, I'm goin' riding.
The kick start is what it is also known as the kickstart peddle you may be thinking of jockey shift which is for changing gears its on the other side of the bike. I think it takes more skill to ride with type of gears
move the Pistons at top dead center valves open and swing with the starter arm with the momentum like when you spinning a bocket full of water around and around and get to the point when you do not apply any force it is going by itself
first let me say i agree with you completely how ever the lightning bolts on his tank have nothing to do with the nazis. yes they were used by the nazis in the 40s but they were not developed by them same thing with the swastika two emblems meaning power, strength, unity, health and good fortune. these emblems have been used since about 3 thousand years ago, and just because one group of ignorant people used them many years ago should not pigon hold what they represent with that said
A 1958 BMW R50 required only 1/3 of the steps involved to turn on the bike, a 1966 HD has no excuse. Still, it's nice to know what use to take 10 steps only takes 2 now (Put key in, press ignition).
The acronym "HFFH" (Hammerskins forever - forever Hammerskins) and the double "sieg" rune clearly are nazi symbols and not to confuse with some "killer symbols". The double "sieg" rune was ONLY used by the SS. Who shows this in public should at least have the courage to admit this. And who ever wants to learn something about the SS should google "Einsatzgruppen" (Task-Force). And dont whine, if you dont understand german, you can use google translator (herewith dispensable ;) )
And to this day Harley-Davidson is still making these outdated engines. They cannot take a beating unless you strip them down to the block and put all good internal parts in them ones that can withstand high heat
@@rudolfgiulani140 I am white, from Europe. SS troops are responsible for savagely slaughtering ( burning alive..etc ) thousands of ( white ) civilians ( small children..etc ) in Europe and also killing US prisoners of war. They were the most notorious Hitler's butchers....
@@rockinsergio4969 I get it but there's another rules. California mexicans have aztec symbols to identify and we got swastika, ss bolts, iron cross etc.
yeah... my dads bike is both... my grandpas 82 shovel is kick only... his 67 shovel is kick and electric.. my uncles is kick only and my friends is kick only... and once i scrape up enough cash to get a shovel its gonna be kick only

cool video, very cool chopper... wish you all days a nice ride!!! greetings from Hamburg, Germany
I try to use this method to start my Yamaha 125z. It worked. It's alive in just a single kick. Thank you very much sir 👍👍
I love that last part, so happiness is being a the neighbor of a Harley rider am I right?
This video makes me feel alive!!!!!!
There are good things in this world!
Look at that cool motorbike folks!!!!

The louder it is is music to my ears
Note to self: do not rob a bank on one of these even though it looks cool.
Ha ha ha ha ha
😄😄
However, it is perfectly acceptable to rob a KFC on your chopper.
Yeah trust me it doesn’t work I got caught

what a groovy film man.
that dude is a easy rider for sure man.
I like this bike and I can't understand why anyone doesn't .Its a custom built Harley chopper! It doesn't get better than that.
@properchopper1 Just got in from a ride myself today.I enjoyed the video.Beautiful machine you have.Be safe man!
Step 1: roll bike out of the garage.
Step 2: forget about kick starting the bike, just keep rolling it...
LOL, awesome video, beautiful bike!

I know how to kick start a bike but honestly. I dont have a harley and its nice just being able to watch it getting kickstarted. What a noise!
So we leave the choke on while riding?
:D
On a Harley, you can. Its not a "true" choke. BUT, only for a few moments, then push it in and its all good.
I thought the same thing!🤔
What a beautiful shovel
Good catch ! Been a friend of Bill W. for a long time. Bike's tricky enough to ride minus the booze !
i like old sportys.. my dad had a 71 xlch and it was a mean bike.. it had drag pipes with a little upsweep and the end with fish tails.. and it looked mean too.. i loved that bike
Was für ein geiler Hobel...was für ein geiler Hobel !!!🤩
Forgot to shut off enricher knob! : ) great bike man!
I am just glad the guy looked like a rider and not shorts or tennis shoes
Super SICK...need Robitussin now!
what fishtails are those they sound badass!
Good looking put.
Love those old school choppers! Wish i had one. If i did i would never part with it.
Me too. Always on the lookout for one, I'd buy it in a flash.

Super cool!!
Still watch this
i've always wanted kick start these bikes but i don't have good blance! how hard is to do for a newbie who has never done it before?
Great video, Bruce. I noticed a triangle in circle symbol on the back fender. Interesting that an outlaw biker chooses to be sber...
Was that duel GMA brake caliperson the reare whell
Who cares about a paintjob, that bike is AWESOME.
Good lord get on with it
beautiful machine
I live in Scotland, step 11 would be push the bike back in garage as it's now raining.
This was funny, I like it! :-)
Bolts are bad ass man
AWESOME!!@ Thanks 😊
We have that club In Vegas !
Bikers had it right years ago even for covid lockdowns When You Outlaw Freedom-The Free Become Outlaws
Nice bike those bolts need to go

Despite the bolts... That there is a nice bike.
Now time for BAR Hopping!!!!!!!!
yo dude~ awesome bike!!!
✌😎... dude I know that guy ,....ahahhaeheheh...
Thats a badass scoot
can we go over step one again? im not quite sure i get that.....lol
The kick start is what it is also known as the kickstart peddle you may be thinking of jockey shift which is for changing gears its on the other side of the bike. I think it takes more skill to ride with type of gears
I would kill for a Harley-Davidson Chopper
I wanna know what the stuff on the tank means
SS lightning bolts for one, lots of these old school chopper guys involved in MC's were white supremist sadly
That's a fucking beautiful bike!
"A hand shift is a manly shift".....
@properchopper1 u talkin about depew chosen few in depew ny
you didint state weather or not you must be in neutral, and can you kickstart in gear with the clutch in?
those SS what a nice touch
What kind of exhaust pipes are those?????? I've been looking for the elevated kind like that but can't find any!!!!!!!!!!
very nice!
I never knew you had to twist the throttle twice and kick twice before starting. Last step, keep your boot away from the open primary! 🤣
Love it 😍♥️♥️
thats great i liked it! I have a kicker too
move the Pistons at top dead center valves open and swing with the starter arm with the momentum like when you spinning a bocket full of water around and around and get to the point when you do not apply any force it is going by itself
What is the SS on the tank stand for..? LIBERTY ?
it means SchutzStaffel, it was the nazi's special forces
it means that son of a bitch is a white supremacist, basically...
first let me say i agree with you completely how ever the lightning bolts on his tank have nothing to do with the nazis. yes they were used by the nazis in the 40s but they were not developed by them same thing with the swastika two emblems meaning power, strength, unity, health and good fortune. these emblems have been used since about 3 thousand years ago, and just because one group of ignorant people used them many years ago should not pigon hold what they represent with that said
Looks like a lot of work
Same procedure as on my 58 Pan :-)
Old skool cool.
super moto ! Hans
How will they make a fast getaway on the sons of anarchy prequel? They'll have to leave the bikes running and then they might overheat
Bellla la moto!... e il centauro e troppo forte!!!...
A 1958 BMW R50 required only 1/3 of the steps involved to turn on the bike, a 1966 HD has no excuse.
Still, it's nice to know what use to take 10 steps only takes 2 now (Put key in, press ignition).
Note: turn choke off after a few warm up revs on a warm day.
Cool!
bad ass fucking paintjob man
Badass scooter
Too Good!
Wow.....this bike is for sale??
Support your local 1%ers. 👌💨
@larrabeerr
Nope, California & Arizona.
Man, i thought I was chromed out.
If I don't "reassure" my neighbors at least once a week they start to worry about me and my bike.
No neural?
Nice
1:11....am i trippin or is that SS
The acronym "HFFH" (Hammerskins forever - forever Hammerskins) and the double "sieg" rune clearly are nazi symbols and not to confuse with some "killer symbols". The double "sieg" rune was ONLY used by the SS. Who shows this in public should at least have the courage to admit this. And who ever wants to learn something about the SS should google "Einsatzgruppen" (Task-Force). And dont whine, if you dont understand german, you can use google translator (herewith dispensable ;) )
How bout you go fuck yourself? Or say something about the man's club symbols to his face?
Wtf is up with the ss bolts ?
This was out of order, check the gas before you roll the bike by hand around the block LOL
STEP 11- pick up all parts when engine explodes from Hi Rev during dry start..
And to this day Harley-Davidson is still making these outdated engines. They cannot take a beating unless you strip them down to the block and put all good internal parts in them ones that can withstand high heat
Hope He's got a spare set of spark plugs with Him.....He forgot last step....Turn off Your enrichener!!
Forgot to take the choke off, lol
Nazzi SS sign on your bike??
yea men if you happen white = u got this on yo bike thats not big deal in MCes

Look at whites in Vagos, Hells Angels, Hessians where he came from
In Europe, it is illegal to display Any nazzi or nazzi allies insignia. One would most likely get arrested if cought displaying that
What the hell is up with that Schutzstaffel stuff? Why do people put that emblem on their bikes?
lol.. is your bike an old sporty
