Great video. Long but good. He starts it and drives it. Check out the pullback and handgrip angle on the handlebars! Also the open/exposed pushrods and rocker arms with no oil lube. It has rare options like a gas headlite/tail lite and floorboards.

Fullscreen mode gives the nicest perspective:

That's awesome. Still sounds great too!

 

The thing that struck me is how much it sounds like a modern Harley.

That is a beautiful motorcycle. Thanks!

 

Exactly. If you heard it go by but didn't see it you would just think it's a Harley. Sounds just like today's bikes.

 

Great bike but what a pain in the azz back then, retard spark... choke.... set throttle.... pedal furiously, no fat guys on Harleys back then

 

You almost had to be a mechanical engineer just to start the thing. I did notice, however, when he is shown riding it he is obviously not in America. Canadian video?

Edit: Ah, missed the Manitoba license plate part. Never mind on that last part.

 

I said the same thing! When he was riding toward the camera I expected to see road king!!!!

 

Thanks for posting that. Great video and loved his narration.
