man, even if Matt wasn't Dale's son, I can't think of a better person to carry on the legacy of this amazing museum.
Amen brother !
I totally agree
Totally agree with that 👍
No one else has the heart for it like Matt does now dales gone
Matt you are a national treasure. Love your enthusiasm. Hope to shake your hand someday. God Bless. The Flanders bars are sweet.
These are my favorite type of videos! Going through all the “stuff” ; parts/accessories, memorabilia, advertising etc! Would love to see more of these!
Even if you ain't a bike fan, just the excitement and energy in these videos will make you one.
Drinking game. Take a shot every time Matt says ''incredibly rare!''
Just pulling your leg guys. You could make a drinking game of every time I've said ''wow!" ''no sh*t!?'' ''man that is so cool!!''
Wheels through time is just the absolute sh*t! I cant wait till I can get there in person. I just cant tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of these incredible pieces of American history with us. Thank you so much Matt.
Stunning finds. So enthusiastic with you.
You remind me of a five year old kid on Christmas morning, feelings and excitement we don't have any more as adults, you are so blessed.
Also, I had to LITERALLY talk myself out of this year's raffle, because that bike was SO GORGEOUS, I am not going to let it happen in the next one.
Matt, just a great pile. I met you and your late great dad Dale at that meet several times. I remember your Dad told me I have the best looking Knucklehead on the judging field. It was a '39 model E ( only 214 units produced) It's also my birthday. I'd say run those Flanders bars, they look great.
For those vintage Flanders 30s-40s handlebars, they look better on that other project. They just make the bike look as if it came straight from the Milwaukee factory. Nothing against the high bars, they’re cool, but OEM stuff makes it more cooler and classy. What a killer find Matt!
Hope to hear that ‘48 Panhead run soon!
Nice find Matt, hard to come by parts there you got a good 👁️ EYE Matt✔️👍😎
Thanks for the history lessom Matt. Great finds.
AWESOME that you were only 15mi from my home! Hope you had a GREAT TIME! I LOVE your show and your museum is top of the list in my bucket!
Matt I reckon between yourself and the guys from antique archaeology you'd be laughing when it comes to getting 100% original bike parts and antique or vintage bikes.
You look like the kid in the candy shop with the excitement on all the parts you picked up lol.
Have fun mate!
I could walk by it a 100 or more times and not know what I was looking at. Matt you are incredible 👍
great video ... much great stuff - been following for years "whats in the barn" the 1907 - 08 vintage races (when you blew the front tire near the finish line) this show really reminded me of your dad "that excitement ,that energy" you have an incredible abundance of knowledge to pass on to others - thank you
Thanks for watching!!!
By far, this is my favorite UA-cam channel. It’s authentic, in an era where so many are trying to become UA-cam stars.
Thanks Brad! We appreciate your support!
I would pick the Flanders handlebars...but I wax nostalgically. Great finds Matt.
The enthusiasm is over the top, just like his dad.
I hope to visit the wheels through Time museum some day. Thanks to you and your father for all you do
Great score Matt what a life you live I can't wait to visit USA and go to swap meets and vist your museum the 48 panhead looks cool
Matt, you're like a kid in the candy store, and you just can't fake the excitement and enthusiasm you display over any thing to do with these treasure bikes. I'm sure you have Harley Davidson motor oil runnin' through your veins. God Bless and stay safe.
Just dig your excitement mate, there's nothing like finding cool stuff at a swap meet.
Love your enthusiasm Matt the 🍎 🍏 apple didn't fall far just like Dale Thanks for always sharing your finds
❤️ love it ❤️. What a great way to start a Friday! It's awesome to see Matt so excited about vintage parts 😍
Those knucklehead high drag pipes, ultra 😎😎
Great find Matt !!!!!
We just found a new project for them... stay tuned!
Its awesome , and rare that a Son has the same passion for something as their Father, but you do Matt. So cool.
The passion is real! Great find brother.
I have to change out my apes for a safety check , and those flanders are exactly what I need on my 99 STC bobber!
Great Finds!
I can feel your excitement and I'm several hours south of you!
The red bike is very cool, and worth a go!
Excited to see future builds...
Blessings from Georgia
⚔️🇺🇸⚔️
🤜🤛
As excited as Matt is here it hardly compares to when he rolled up with the rhino bags at the swapmeet!
Good to see you Joe!!
If everyone was as passionate about something as you the world would be a better place!
Glad to hear some Pan stuff os in the future. Pan's are My favorite motor. Love that look. 🤟😎
Once upon a time all those bikes there had a loving owner who worshiped it and used it as it was intended to. It was their only bike and was an important part of their lives. I truly hope that all the bikes there get to enjoy that again.
Nice friggin' score, Matt! Holy shit, you got some incredible stuff, and that bike is crazy!
Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through you; this is dream stuff! Thanks, dude! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
VERY cool Find....FOR Sure the Flanders Bars on your Project🙏🙏🙏🙏
P.S. Those Knucklehead high pipes would sound absolutely mind blowing without mufflers. Just straight and glorious.
excited is an understatement Matt you were like a little kid in a candy store very cool finds
His excitement is contagious LOL
One of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam. Thanks for such great knowledge and entertainment. I'm really looking forward to the weeks ahead.
So stoked for you....and the museum, which means we'll get to see the haul. Better than it being hidden in a garage, basement or attic somewhere.
tomorrow morning i will be at the post office as soon as it opens to get my wheels trough time t-shirt... took almost three weeks to get to Italy, but who cares... can't wait!!! Much love and appreciation from Italy to Matt, Chris and all the staff at WTT, thank You for sharing all this with us...
Thanks for your support!!
Use the Flanders bars. They looked better even with you just holding them up there.
I agree.
Only motorcyçles can have a adult man tha excited especially with the musem so your like a kid in a candy store and you still go crazy you and yoir dad are both legends doing amazing things
Ahhh there’s that ‘50 pan I was fortunate enough to get a “sneak peak” of during our visit. Matt, it also happened to be the very same day the couple stopped by on their jet ski bikes😎👍
Matt , just love to watch you. You’re like a kid in a candy store coming back from the vintage bike swap meet. Totally feel your excitement !
your enthusiasm is exemplary!
This is so much fun. The craftsmanship that's gone into all of this is what we have to get back to as a Nation. Motor on, Matt!
So much excitement, you'll sleep like a rock tonight, old buddy.
Is it fair to say you are somewhat excited? Great video as always. This channel is addictive.
Great video. We’re there last August and Matt you were so awesome to us. You started up a few bikes and some of your old cars. It was a great visit. Thank you for being so friendly and willing to explain different things to us. My wife and i along with our friends appreciated it.
when you are at these meets and you see these ultra rare parts, do you manage to keep a poker face on while, in your head, you are flipping out? I don't think I could!
My favourite channel on youtube without a doubt. Could watch for hours.
I visited the museum today it was amazing!
Man, I love your enthusiasm!
It was great to see you there! I will be at the museum in September.
Your newly found rubber-mounted Flanders bars look great!
Just for everyone's info, the mt Garfield hill climb is August 6th. Muskegon Mi. There's stuff from there on the hill in the museum.
it is awesome just watching you GEEK OUT over the parts you found. i do the same thing.
Love it, keep iT going, fun to watch.
good finds, folks may hate on "tiawan tedd" but they keep a lot of old bikes running and on the road with stuff no one else even makes.
I can just see you smiling driving down the road looking at the bags hahahahaha
My father was an alchy, so no school bags for me. I grabbed one of my father's old leather saddle bags he used to use on his early 50's Matchless, added a rope, threw it over my shoulder and I had a better school bag than any of the other kids.
Another great video. Thank you.
That 48 Panhead is beyond epic......
Thanks for the videos Matt.
I’m not much of a motorcycle guy. I don’t ride (yet) but your channel has inspired me!
I love history. I love museums and what you are doing is just amazing!
We have a 46 Indian Chief my late grandpa loaned my dad the money to buy when we lived in Mississippi in 1993-5 when I was 7-9.. it was only $500, a complete rust bucket missing the seat and fenders and the engine and trans had been full of water and locked up.. Both my sister and I sat outside under our patio cover the winter we got it sanding the primer a local guy sprayed on the frame for free. Unfortunately all the work was for naught as when we were coming back to California we stopped in Oklahoma City and someone broke into our Jeep and stole my dad's guns and threw the frame on the ground scratching it down to bare metal, and it also needs some rust repair anyways.
My dad's a disabled vet, his dad was US Army retired and had worked on Indians in WW2 which is why he helped him get it, he died in 2000. Unfortunately we don't have the money to put into fixing it.. I'm autistic and have a LOT of physical limitations that keep me from working so I'll never have the money to put into it. I wish I could do a build series on here of fixing it, even if it was just hot rodding it/making it more drivable on today's roads with like a Baker 6 speed and good brakes and bobbed/Harley fenders.. The tanks are in PERFECT shape, they just need cleaned and painted.
I think if I'd be okay with anyone buying it it'd be Matt, I know he'd take care of it and treasure it, even though I wish it could stay in the family and let my nephew ride it someday. (I don't have a gf/wife, let alone kids) Oh and btw, the engine and transmission are both numbers matching according to my dad.
On that 39 project.. .Flanders bars for sure!
Absolutely love this me and some friends are coming down in a few weeks can’t wait to be in the museum again
Your enthusiasm is contagious - great video 👌
Thanks for watching!
Man, you’ve got some great treasures there. Really dig the j-slot air cleaners and the Flanders bars. Been thinking about fabbing some exhaust for my 47 and really really dig the exhaust you rounded up. Didn’t know you had been hunting beaded windshield stuff. I’ve ended up with some nos beaded windshield replacement pieces for those windshields that came in a pile of parts mom and dad got at an auction from a dealership that gone out of business. Got red, blue and clear bottom panels and some new clear tops that are all oem replacement parts and pieces that I’m assuming were for use on wrecked bikes but could just be leftover parts that were never used.
Had to hop back on and give an opinion on the bars. The Hellings and Stellings bars are okay but they really do look better on a K-model style bike or very early Ironhead. Even though they’re a 1 inch bar they still have a bit too much of the British styling for a big twin for me, again just an opinion. Flanders bars are the Cats a$$ as far as I’m concerned, bought a couple sets from Darol Dryden over the years and they’re some of the best bars I’ve ever owned. They have the most uniform wall thickness thru the bends that I’ve ever seen and are almost unbendable. The internal throttle and spark retard are even better icing on the cake, surely you’ve got some Beck grips to go with em to add to the dealer accessory styling.
1948, first year of the Panhead, last year running the Springer forks. One year only!
Your passion is a credit to HD restoration would be happy with 5% of your knowledge.
BEST WISHES FROM AUSTRALIA
That red 48 pan is just a year older than me and we bought have a little life left in us. I sure we could spend it together.
Amazing haul!! ...got a little work to do !!
Great score Matt, those flanders bars look like the original beach bars
Definitely the Flanders bars
Matt you should check out The big bike shop in Columbus ohio for part's/ bike's. Probably have to get ahold of the realtor/family. Fred had at one time a bunch of original parts in oem boxes
Love the look of those bars Matt, ether pair would do the bike justice but the Flanders bars is the old school look and ride. Also nice parts hall !!
What a score Matt
Yes to the Flanders bars on that bike..
Matt, you should put those '39 bags on the '22 knuck raffle bike.
I'll need some way to carry my luggage when I ride it out of there....LOL
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome.. thanks buddy…
Flanders bars.....Yes!
Love to see the excitement.
Yeah I live in Wauseon Ohio the fairgrounds is over by the turnpike there’s actually a restaurant over there that’s got pretty good food I didn’t make it to the swap meet this year I was out of town but it is a fun time to go
Great video matt yes the flanders bars will look superb on that 38
Nice finds Matt
Perfect👍
I wish you'd call them "foot boards" like Harley-Davidson did and not "floor boards" which is an automobile term. After all, we don't call foot pegs "floor pegs."
Great haul! Congrats!
Original Flanders!!
The only thing about Harley that interests me , is the panhead . My first Harley was a 56 pan . I guess I never should have sold it . Lol . Now I m trying to find another one , I sure do like that red one you got there .
Christmas 🎄☃️ AGAIN ! ! 🤯
There used to be a motorcycle shop in Fridley Minnesota called Kokesh motorcycle and they used to have a knuckle head drag bike with a supercharger on it that looked like the same kind used on the Studebaker golden hawk and it had a custom frame with a big slick on the rear and they named it the white knuckle express. They used to have it on display in the building along with other old HD 's that they restored and when they had their bike show each year they would put the drag bike out for people to look at and sold t shirts on the bike to help pay for parts and fuel to run it . The shop was around for years then the owner died and his son took the business over for a few years and eventually it closed up so I bet that bikes probably somewhere in the metro area still . There used to be 2 drag strips not far away from the shop one called North Star drag ways in Mounds view and the other Minnesota drag ways in coon rapids and I am sure this bike used to run at either tracks at one time. This bike would look cool sitting on display at this museum if they could some how find where it's at and strike a deal up to buy it and bring it to the museum and get it running to start for the patrons coming to the museum .
I love old bikes and especially Harley. That said I never collected any. I did however collect early ford parts and pieces fr 1964 on. The best era when old stock was purged from closed dealerships.
I know exactly the ‘joy’ you had finding these coveted and rare parts. And as well the joyous ‘pain’ of overspending the budget. Some things are so cool or rare… well you just gotta jump on it. Well done Sir.
Early Ford… meaning 1932-1948. Sorry for the date confusion I started attending swap meets in 1964.
Hey! I was just there the other day! I recall seeing you, Matt roll up to the door with your daughters in a sidecar after they had a ride. It was adorable and I loved your museum. It was on my list alone of my destinations to see before I left tacoma. I'm back home now after riding 7,500 miles. But im lookin forward to coming back to maggie valley.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit! We hope you had a great trip!! See you next time !
@@wheelsthroughtime oh ill be back for sure. It was amazing
Love it.
Was there and a good meet, glad you found a guy with gas.
Matt would you ever consider doing a video for someone that is new to the old bikes (like myself), on what to look for if shopping for say a flathead or knuckle? 😬👍
