Still got my 57. I stole many ideas from the bike displayed in the wall at the Frisco clubhouse. I soon met the builder of that bike Bob Roberts. He taught me how to build the motor. He had 1 rule. When you came over to his house you had to have a cup of coffee with his brother Cliff. It was cowboy coffee and believe me you we set for the night.
Thanks for this episode Mr Christie. Looking forward to more. As a kid who blew their allowance on chopper magazines in the 60's and totally drank the Easyriders kool-aid and became a Harley rider/owner in the 70's and beyond, the motorcycles fascinated me. Was never an outlaw or a club member, but just being part of the HD/motorcycling fraternity back then, by proxy you were part of the sub-culture. Fun times.
George , you are my motorcycle guru sir. When i listen to your stories, i learn so much about lifes choices, motorcycle clubs and how you hold yourself and to be truthful and honorable. Thank you.
I have to tell you I love it when George Christie corrects those who were never there on their recall of History. Those who are correcting him probably never had the balls to even prospect. Love your channel
I live in New Zealand,when I was young I used to get Big Bike and Choppers magazines whenever I could,I remember the Motor Shop ads,just a small ad mentioning that they specialised in 80 inch parts,and we're in Oxnard,Ca.This has stuck in my mind for many years......
Hello George I love hearing you talk about the old days in Ventura I was with dave at the shop and you sold me a pair of knuckle cylinders for my 1939 el and I bought a frame from you that you were buliding a shouvel head to put in that fram but you did something other that that frame so you sold it to me and I worked at 65 fix way for mr stanly any way and I knew the free wheelers nead I say more GOD BLESS George Bill I also knew a lot of the slaves
Hey George, Could you tell us a little bit about your Vice President in the late 90s. I knew him and his brothers growing up. His name was Dennis. But I'd like to know more of his history as a Hells Angel.
Right on time, george, i'm having a bad day Thank you so much for doing this, George. I look forward to this every week. Aint much to do out here in Indiana. I want to say God bless you. God bless your family and like always, brother May the wind always be at your back then Sun upon your face. I think you're one.Hello of a man george christie
my favorite episode love hearing about the bikes, brilliant idea for the manuals its really tough to work without em and Harley just dont give a shit about their old inventory, I thought you were gonna say they started Clymer manuals 😂
Good on ya George, love your storys mate can't wait for the next one... As for all those who leave derogatory comments to the legend, to the man, George Christie "stick it where the sun don't shine" This is the only social media platform that I am on!! (and this one is toxic enough) but sometimes I wish I was on others just so I could watch what else you upload!! Thank you again George love your stories please keep them coming and all the best to you mate🙏🏽 From Australia🇦🇺 originally from New Zealand🇳🇿
George, absolute topman. You've certainly lived a life. I do struggle to believe you never saw the 2 mechanics who weren't gonna return your bike again😂. Top stuff👍
George most respect you ever got is when you went by yourself to meet taco that took balls no one else would do it. The guy from Cave Creek always bragged on you for that.
George I just hope the government protects Trump as much as they case you and Sonny Barger out wake up America leave these clubs alone plus taco Bowman
Thanks for the share. Love the history. HD stole the image and style from the culture and sold it back at a big profit, but they did not include the culture in HD museum.
Very cool episode Mr. Christie loved hearing about your bikes. Being Canadian I’d love to hear about the Canadian biker war , I’ve read all the books out there about it, would like to hear your take on it
I built a bike starting with a 1957 straight leg frame when I got out of the Navy in 1973. People knew me as "the guy with a straight leg frame in his closet." Hey, you gotta store your project parts somewhere!
I remember that flathead when it was featured in Easyriders. Do you think that one day you could do a video with Keith Ball, former editor/writer for the magazine? Would enjoy hearing stories of the magazine in the old days before it all changed. Thank you.
I have a High Standard 12 Gauge, smooth action. Steve McQueen used a High Standard in the Movie "The Getaway" I seen Pics of your Flatty with the Springer, that was a nice ride...
my older brother had a 55 spaceship first h-d i ever rode at 15 years old 1977. so he says if you can start it ill let ya ride it as im letting the clutch out if ya dump it dont come back well id been riding motorcycles since 1972 so not a big deal kids in the neighborhood sure thought i was cool
Hello George and thank you for addressing the many 'grey areas' of 1%er history. I am looking forward to the release date of your next book, 'Crossing the Rubicon'.
Saturday morning n coffee with George! Man.. he’s gotta do like a multi season series of his inside n out of the outlaw underworld. Not a sons of anarchy b.s. but his life’s journey in the m.c. With situations like having to get his frame n tins back.. how he goes alone with his shotgun like a man n gets his shit back! The dice game n gets a bike.. I know millions of people would watch it, and the merch would bring in cash also, a film of his life basically. That’s what people really want, real shit from real people… Wish I had the cash to produce it bc I absolutely would. It takes a set of real nuts to go alone to someone’s house you’ve got major beef with, plus I can’t imagine the talk going around within people do in situations like that you know once you see that person you’re beefin with, or he sees you it’s fkin on full tilt. I myself have done this twice, I went alone and knock on the dudes door, I hear about 4 or 5 of the others he always hangs with inside that house.. drinking n carrying on about what ever it was they were talking about and none of them like me either and im not from their side of town as well n i might possibly wind up fighting not only the 1 guy im got the issue with but all 5 lol, fk it! I was more than ready to really ready for whatever ever happens.. I believe someone looked out n saw me, I’m not saying in Billy badass but they never came to the door! N I pounded on the door n stood out there for about 10 mns. I know they peeped out the window blinds and saw me there and I’m sure now looking back they all would have jumped in once I started warmin the dudes head up I had beef with but ya know what, there comes a time when you just don’t give a fk what happens and I didn’t. Good or bad I was so ready n to be honest about it I was quite disappointed they didn’t come out man but sometimes you just gotta warm a shit talker’s head up! Again, I’m not Billy badass but I will say I know that feeling going alone, facing a very dangerous unknown situation and that’s part of becoming, or being a real fkin man in my book… n I felt never more badass after I did it bc the word spread on both sides of the town n I got even more respect, doubled my reputation and the fear of fkin with me grew even more also which when dealing with people that are great with their hands, guns.. a knife is more than not a good type of reputation to have, but you also better be able to back that reputation up. It was a major rush , talk about an adrenaline dump! I was ready to do the unthinkable, I excepted the absolute worst possible outcome, I was willing to die! n I faced it head on n it changed me for the better I believe. I was 18 or 19 then. So Stand yr ground… right! Even if yr a little fk like me. That was back in 89 n I was fresh out of a boys home ready n willing to tcob! N I did. I’m sure most of you have 2👍 now I’m 55 and I can still handle situations if need be. But also I’m so much wiser and I know when and when not to, that’s important.. staying out of jail is top priority lol. There’s only mostly ignorant guys in there, no women! Fists or lips! You gotta to know when to use them and when not to. Violence isn’t always the solution, sometimes it’s a must unfortunately. Being a man, one with real honor is a must.
I had a 49 EL that the left case kept cracking around the main bearing. I had a well known motor builder replace the left case with one that was not stamped. I stamped my numbers on it myself. Nothing shady about it. 40 years ago there was no issue with that and it was not uncommon to replace a case half. Now there would probably be problems.
Gotta love the flatheads…ran forever and you could run them on raccoon piss . Quite a few 74 panheads ended up with 80 flathead flywheels stuffed in them . I started with a BSA then a Triumph then a 42 EL knucklehead .Now I’m putting around on a 2002 Sporty maybe for another year or so .Filthy George is older than dirt but he’s still younger than me by two years or so ….😂 Peace George 👍
Old Independent Trucker on this end, I would haul Produce from Oxnard Vertura [70s 80s] area to Hunts point Market NYC. Any way is that Wagon Wheel Motel still goin? Big parking lot Phone Booth easy to get to for the Rig so I could call Brokers, would always see bikes there but never no time to hang. Enjoy your tales Grads on making it to your 70S +. I feel really happy about making it to 70 with my lifestyle not as wild as yours, but sure had fun. BEST from New York [up state] Mts..TRUMP VANCE 2024 GO GO AMERICA WE GOT THIS.
Know Bud Smith by chance? He's a Long time ventura trucker, he father was featured in an Allstate ad because he had millions of miles accident free BUD is my nephews grandfather . Ring a bell
This is the one I’ve been waiting for. The ain’t that George picture is epic…larger than life. Those Indian scouts are beautiful machines, would be nice to see a picture of that one. Things would’ve been a lot better if everybody just kept it about the bikes and the good times and skipped the wars and the dirty dealings, but that’s the way of the world.
Bill reed.....gawd i would run into that guy in the strangest places......blew my mind.....1 day ya see him.....2 days latter 1000 miles away ya run into him in a desert somewhere.........robo reed lol.....erybody has seen the sticker.......'i know bill reed.....not really but we sure ran into each other......was a trip 😉
i heard that they called you dirty george because you wouldnt take a shower for months at a time. your levis would standup and walk around with out you manual victor told me that. i was in one of bargers books. a whole chapter lol, god it is bad all we have left is memories. hey be nice about modesto i was out of there. the old club house on 9th street.i also owned cycle specialties i built a lot of harleys for the boys out of oakland and painted them
you probably remember there was 2 quebec biker wars first with the Outlaws than with the Rock Machine , though there was another group the popeyes took out before becoming Quebecs Hells Angels
Monte Miller. Bought my '82 shovel from Monte when Ventura Harley was on Main St. and before they sold HD clothing. Quite a character. We called him Phil Silvers...only old farts will get it.
Laurence Shurtliff aka Ramon Rodriquez,aka Ram Rod. Given his moniker by Neal Cassady while traveling in Mexico with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.
I'm not an authority on Prankster, or Grateful Dead History. I have read a lot of material. I would also clarify that it may have been Kesey who gave the moniker to Laurence Shurtliff ? Sources differ on this. The story goes that Kesey was on the lam in Mexico w/ Pranksters. Shurtliff met up at some point. Kesey and some others wanted to travel to another town to see where a film was shot. They had 7 people and a VW Bug. Shurtliff announced himself as Ramon Rodriguez, Mexican tour guide at your service. He proceeded to ram 7 people in the VW and away they went. His name was Ram Rod from that point. He became the Head roadie,and later he was elected to President of the board for Grateful Dead Productions. He was well respected. I hold him in the highest regard.
@ronfahrnbruch1910 fascinating, while I only know it vaguely ( maybe I'll go deep today) is Kesley, what an interesting person Since you seem to like history, take a jog down the Dave McGowan works rabbit hole
I hear you about,"nick names" I've known people for years!! And never knew there real names! I never asked neither. Names like cheese, cupcake, Arab, Clever. The list can go on..
Tom Noel A Girl back in 78 I knew west side of washington state Her Name was Brandi worked at A Bar name Bojangles I think she said Her Daddy name was Tom Noel ! She was 21 or 22 years old .
george, i will bring up a few names to see if they jog your memory, manual victor, chris the swede,tony sapata. lil ugly, hell man i still have my old panhead. my 1sst club bike,
Still got my 57. I stole many ideas from the bike displayed in the wall at the Frisco clubhouse. I soon met the builder of that bike Bob Roberts. He taught me how to build the motor. He had 1 rule.

Lee Stanley. RIP. I grew up 4 houses up the street on Loma Dr from Lee.
Love these thamk you. Peace ✌️
Damn, George, you had some really nice bikes but,my favorite is your big twin flattie. Loved that bike the first time I saw it in ER.
I remember that flathead when it was featured in Easyriders. Do you think that one day you could do a video with Keith Ball, former editor/writer for the magazine? Would enjoy hearing stories of the magazine in the old days before it all changed. Thank you.
Thanks for always keeping real
that flathead was a beauty.
I bought a '57 FL in '77 for $1200. U S dollar value has gone to shit in 47 years.
Panny power!
I bought an 06 softail with 8k miles on it for $3k. I still ride it. Too poor for a pan
