A well-worn machine proud of its scars and age, this 1936 Harley Knucklehead was not run since 1952. Brought back to life with only a light tune-up, not a restoration. Only a pair of new tires, a flushed crankcase, a new coil and greased bearings. An honest and beautiful bike too happy to be ridden again.

One thing about Jay is that he was a enthusiast before he was a star which made him able to expand his enthusiasium to what he has now. Jay is for real, not a poser like so many!
LOVE IT ! Cant wait to finish my 47 .
Wow; what a find! Thanks for sharing, Jay…whether you are into HD’s or not; a neat machine.
A telling statement while he’s on the ride: “You had to know your stuff”
$1,500 when you were in High school…..??? Wow!
When we were in high school they were giving away fatheads and a Panhead was about $500….
No one wanted a Knuckel, they were too messy.
What a difference a day makes….. 🙂
“…tank-shift, foot clutch…” Thanks Jay…!!!
Jai is a reall nice fella…
As usual…very cool! I’m hoping to win the Fully restored 1965 FLH Electra Glide from the American Motorcycle Heritage Heritage Foundation. It’s a Pan but will I’m sure offer a lot of the same emotions than Jays knuckle. Wish me luck!
Jay is so cool. Great video!
Thank you for sharing your passion with us Jay.
A 1936 Knuck did 136 mph on Daytona Beach in 1936, with 61 “, ridden by Joe P.. What else do you have in the corner Jay. Great story, nice bike.
As always a very well put together & educational video from Jay
All the one’s I’ve seen, so far have been down to earth
Giving a lot of a chance to see/hear bikes
that a lot of us never would’ve except in a museum, under glass.
Way to go, Jay & Thank you Cyril !!!
