01x01 - Revival of the Rumble

[bunniefuu]

This is my dream.

It's a quest

marked with all of my wildest,
most ambitious ideas.

Impossible pursuits that
I've had in my head for decades.

It's living on the road

always on the roam...

endless searching.

I'm a vagabond, a dirtbag.

I'm a roamer.

Hungry for inspiration
wherever it presents itself.

Training my eye to see the world
through the lens of individuals

who have inspired me greatly.

Legends, mentors...

and friends.

Their obsession is the story

and their art is the gift.

This is On The Roam.

For as long as I can remember

I've always been drawn to, like,
old bikes from the '20s and '30s.

Since the moment I heard
my first bike and I rode on one

I was like, "That was freedom."

The way that I feel
when I'm on the bike

and I'm focused,
and I really sink into my machine

and I love it,
and you get in tune with it.

So, I wanna do that
with the bikes that are broken.

Let's bring 'em back to life.

Most of them are in museums
or private collections

never to ride again.

Just to appreciate
as a thing in the past

and I... I just...

I love that

but I wanna ride it.

I've been searching for builders

to revive these machines
that have been sitting for a century.

I wanna see these bikes rumble
and come alive.

And I wanna ride them
like they're meant to be ridden.

This all started in Maggie Valley

where there's one of the most
prestigious collections of rare bikes

Wheels Through Time.

I see what you're saying, where you
just, like, look at that cabinet

and go, like,
"All right, I'm overwhelmed."

- Oh, yeah. Maybe it's the shock...
- You can just spend so much time

And you can see it,
and you don't actually see it yet.

Matt Walksler is now the owner

of Wheels Through Time

And he has such a wealth of knowledge

about bikes.

I'm lucky to call him a friend

and learn everything
that I can from him.

I grew up riding dirt bikes as a kid

and... and just always
had kind of a need for speed

and, you know, that thrill
that you get from going fast

can't be replicated.

When I walk through
Wheels Through Time

the amount of inspiration that comes
from these hundred-year-old bikes

is just surreal.

Man.

Do you guys see this?

It's, in my opinion,
is the holy grail to me.

I love this one.

- This a 1930?
- 1930.

That's number nine and the one
in front of it's number ten.

They were consecutively numbered.

Nine and ten. This is...
How many are in the world?

I think they made 20 of 'em

and there might be ten of 'em left.

- Ten of it...
- It's hard to know.

Ten of these left in the whole world.

I think most of the things
that I really love

happened, you know,
in the '20s and '30s

whether it was board track racing
and these hill climbs and...

I never got to experience any of that

and generally I'm too big of a guy

to ride on any of those bikes
anyway, so.

The DAH was built by Harley-Davidson

strictly for the purpose of racing
and climbing hills.

It was, and still is,
an incredibly powerful bike.

The factory made a certain amount,
and a lot of them get scrapped.

I... I think there's probably like
eight of them left in the world.

A lot of people
have never even heard of this.

I mean, this is so specialized.

- Yeah.
- Guys like us

we couldn't even buy this back then.

But still, why has this not even
been duplicated or replicated?

Is that because, like, the valve...

the people who had 8-Valves
or who had JDHs could...

You know, they patterned it all out
so they could replicate those

because you... You know what I mean?
Like, how... how does that...

how do you go about doing that?

- It's a huge cost.
- Yeah, a huge cost.

Huge, huge cost.

No one would voluntarily
take that apart

- That's right.
- to go make the motor.

Yeah, and if you got one

you don't want
to let somebody copy it.

- Right.
- Because if you do

then what there was only four of,
now there's five of.

Well, in order
to pull this design off

you gotta buy DAH

you'd have to take it apart

pretty much 3D-cast everything.

So, while visiting Maggie Valley

I realized I wanted to recreate
one of these DAH bikes...

and then race 'em.

I brought my friends
Nick Toscano and Brian Charles.

Two amazing humans.

Two amazing bike builders.

I mean, at first

when J asked
if we could do it

I think we both
said yes

thinking that
it wasn't really

actually ever gonna happen

And then all of a sudden we're like

"Oh, sh*t. We have to do this."

Nick and Brian's passion
and knowledge of bikes

is so unique

and I've been looking for a project
to do with them for a long time.

I think it would be so much fun

to be able to take something
and not have to...

These are sacred. You wanna keep 'em.

Maybe start 'em up every once
and a while

- but I wanna... I wanna ride 'em.
- Yeah.

So, I wanna make it like
a group of homies

that just get to
go ride these things.

I just love the idea of bringing
that type of event back

but we needed the blueprint.

A bike we could reproduce
part-for-part.

And that led me to Jeff Decker.

Well, even before Jason told me

what he wanted to do

he wanted some
motorcycles that I wanted

and I didn't know what...
why he wanted them

and I told him they weren't for sale.

I thought he was crazy.
I thought, you know

"Yeah, I know you got
a lot of money, but"

you know, "that's not happening."

I saw these two bikes at his house

and they floored me.

They were just like this mirror image

of what I would wanna be
if I was a bike.

And I was very afraid to ask...

because I didn't wanna be...
I didn't wanna insult him

in his home.

I think, over time, he kinda saw
where my passion was

and he understood
what I wanted to do.

I don't know what it is about
the slant artist and hill climbing

but it's always been the most
romantic of all the racing for me.

Maybe it's the ugliest.

If you think of a board rider,
that's hill climbing.

People would come from all over
to witness these events.

They were some
of the most dangerous races

that were happening back then.

There's nothing about the geometry
that made them street-friendly, ever.

They weren't sold to the public.

There were a dozen of these made.

There's a generation gap
with a lot of people who ride

that you just don't get to see
these board tracks

and... and it's
such an older generation.

I think Jeff has really...
he always embraced it.

My dad was a car guy

and I always got to, you know, learn
how, like, dirty and despicable

and horrible motorcyclists were.

So, that's what I dreamed to be,
you know?

Jeff's like an artist
through and through.

He's just like a living...

He does everything
with art and passion.

I feel like I try to do that

but a little dirtier version of him.

I'm no athlete
and certainly not a mechanic

but there's something about that
that I've always been drawn to.

And so, the way
I could express myself was art.

I didn't have art galleries
that ever supported me.

I had to go to swap meets

and just trade my art
for dirty motors.

You know, I was
Jack and the Beanstalk.

I got... Never cash.

I got motorcycle parts

but I was clever enough
to get the right motorcycle parts

and then I could trade up.

I failed for 20 years

and then realized I was doing
pretty good as a failure.

Jeff's art just blows me away.

We share the same passion
for hill climbs and DAHs.

And you can see
that come through in his work.

I've had these things

and I put 'em on a shelf
and let 'em gather dust

but I never imagined
that they'd get dust on a hill climb.

The team he assembled,
to put 'em together

it's really mind-boggling.

I don't think it's been captured
since the 1930s

and if you even look back to then

it was on some film camera
that was, you know

probably shot pretty poorly

and that's all we had to go off of.

To be able to use my talents,
my crew use their talents

to be able to direct and sh**t it
in the... the way that I want to

and make people feel it,
and really be a part of it

that's it.

Just the thought of doing
a period-accurate hill climb

with all original bikes
and all of my friends together

is something
I never thought was possible.

You know,
when you look at an old bike

it's... it's had so much passion,
and love, and hard times

and they've... they've seen so much

and I just feel like I wanna hear 'em

And I've... I... I know I can't ride
all of them, but...

I'm gonna try.

I've been lucky enough to be welcomed
into the bike community

and introduced to some amazing
craftsmen along the way.

There's just so many people
that I've met

that have opened their hearts,
and I... I love...

And you find at the root of it how...

what kinda artists they really are,
and their stories.

And so, that's...
it's just so beautiful.

We raced quite a bit
against each other

- Ah, yeah.
- and became friends.

You're probably
the only guy I talk to, so.

He don't have time for anything else.

- Anything else.
- I don't have time for anything.

It's just like talk to you
and then talk to my wife. That's it.

Nick's funny. Nick's always like...

Nick kinda has like a
Sopranos/DeNiro face, that's like...

And he always kinda, like,
doesn't wanna say that he can do it.

"It's possible. It's po..."

And Brian Charles'll be like...

"Yeah... we can do that. Yeah."

He's very positive, but it's like...
Brian Charles is, like, game.

Jason's great.

He's like energy.

He's like a force of will.

Working with J

he's such a lovable guy

and he's got this awesome vision
of, like, everything.

"Yeah... f*ck, yeah,
I wanna do that."

But then, like, you get home
and you're like...

"f*ck. Why did I say that?
sh*t. That's gonna be stressful."

His character and motivation
helps you wanna

you know, make yourself better.

These guys, they need to make
four of these bikes a year

but they're such a one-off,
and in a small space.

I wanna celebrate that.
I wanna celebrate those artists

that are just doing it
outta their back shop.

In my journey to create rare bikes
to be ridden...

I was led to Mike Silvio...

to build a never-before-seen


- No way.
- Yeah, yeah.

We're going a little...
a little bit less than a BMW deal.

Yeah, that's right.

These are... beautiful.
This town is just...

Hey, get over here.

When I got to meet Silvio,
he's just...

He's hilarious, man.

He's so much fun.

Wealth of knowledge.

I love him to death.

When I met J,
I had an absolute blast

and... and met a guy who was
overly passionate about antique bikes

and in love with 'em just like I was

and we immediately hit it off.

Jason's been in and around
the industry for a good while

and his name's coming up
left and right.

Holy moly. Look at...

This place is beautiful.

He's built this museum.

He's... he's wonderful at his craft,
and he's got a museum.

One day he might inspire me
to have a museum.

- That's the original paint?
- That's original paint.

That's the bike
that started it all for me.

Oh, man.

When I was little,
I always wanted to have a...

you know, I wasn't really
raised with my father

but... you know,
wanting to build a bike...

build a car and wrench on that.

You know, I didn't have
that opportunity growing up.

I think it's one of those things
I always wanted to do.

And so, definitely building a bike
was something huge to me

and at 19 is when I saved up
enough money

and I bought my first Harley

And... and when you get old Harleys

you learn how to work on bikes

and then you also get
to meet a lot of friends

and it brings you into a community

and takes you around the world
to meet more friends.

The antique motorcycle community

is a very, very small,
close-knit group of people.

And that's the best part

is you're growing relationships
with people that are like-minded

that are curators, that are builders.

- Here it is.
- I've never... I've never seen this.

I bought it
and had it shipped straight to him.

So, pretty g*dd*mn excited.

- Bro.
- How's it look?

My gosh.

Look at that.

I've always worked with my hands.

I've always been the...

I used to get in trouble
when I was a kid

for taking stuff apart.

I'd get a new toy,
and I had to take it apart

to figure out how it worked.

When I got involved with motorcycles

I wanted to know everything about it.

I get just as much satisfaction

out of working on a bike
as I do riding the bike.

- Boo.
- I know. I can smell...

- Smells good out here.
- So, how was the house?

How was it? How was it?
Was it like...

Me and Mike Wolfe are both from Iowa.

You know, I've respected his...
his art form

and just... he has such
a wealth of knowledge and...

and you know, he perpetuates

and keeps all the information
from all the old-timers.

Now just like, it... it sucks
because there's a lot of people

that are just passing on with all
these beautiful history and stories

and... and I think Mike is definitely
that connection to it.

Holy sh*t.

We all walked away alive.

The bikes are good. We're not.

Bikes are good.

- Too much fun.
- What's your deal about it?

You know, I get to spend time
with these guys

and they open up their homes

and you get to see what inspired them
and inspired their styles

and ultimately,
it's just all these artists.

First time I'm gonna see this, Mike.

I'm excited.

You've never seen a pink '36.

I've been asked
to build a lot of bikes

a lot different colors, man.

Bro.

I've always wanted Pepto-Bismol.

How can you... That looks beautiful.

- I'm trying...
- I know you don't like it.

- No, I do like it.
- Don't lie. Don't lie.

No, here's the thing. You...

You've never...

"If you got a bunch of spare parts

would you be cool
if I buy 'em off you

and we'll go make a '36?"

"Hell yeah. Awesome."

"Who's your builder?"
"Silvio." "Who's Silvio?"

"Mike Silvio. Look it up."

My mama raised me on Elvis, right?

I have a '55 pink Cadillac
that I've had my whole...

That... that I've had
since I was early twenties.

I still have it.
I've always wanted a '36 Knucklehead.

You have two.

You have the original paint.

Well, when Jason showed up...

and presented this opportunity to me

I was floored, I was stoked.

I... I couldn't have been
more excited

because he's a great friend of mine.

I got a little nervous
when he told me he wanted a pink '36.

I think out of all the '36s I have,
I don't have an original frame.

This is the first...

This bike will be
every single piece on this

thank you to Mr. Wolfe.

That was one of the first things

that really stood out
when I first met Jason.

Everything was pink.

His shoes, his clothes, his jackets

his key chain to his car.

He was the one, like,
"Let's build this '36."

"I wanna make it pink.
It's my favorite color."

He's like, "Yeah."
I'm like, "Are you cool with that?"

And he's like, "Yeah...
Let's do that."

I can imagine the people.
They're gonna find this bike

and they're gonna look at it,
and they're like

"Who the hell painted
a '36 Knucklehead pink?"

You know?

That is a original '36
Knucklehead speedometer.

That is a rare, expensive part
right there.

Yeah.

I've always wanted one, man.

Just being with my friends, too,
and watching them do it

there's a certain satisfaction
you get outta using your hands.

Silvio is a guy that people come to

and say, "I wanna do this,
I wanna build that..."

And they'll usually hand him
a transmission

a carburetor, or an engine

or sometimes he's lucky
and he gets a whole bike.

I can just imagine him
going by 65 mi an hour

and somebody standing
on the corner going...

You know, "That was... that was
like a tsunami of badassery."

I mean, this bike is like...
it's... it's that ultimate moment

where you're like,
"I can't believe I have an original."

Every part on it's original.

I love the idea of taking all these
little pieces found by Mike Wolfe

gathered from all over
this beautiful country

and then bringing them together
with Silvio.

With... with Wolfe and Silvio,
it's...

He's got a phenomenal place, dude.

This guy's just a...
He's a whiz, man. I love him.

- I'll see you in six months
- Six damn months.

and you better have
my f*cking sh*t done.

You understand, man?
You gotta get it done

'cause otherwise I'm gonna...

You know, the idea of taking
a very expensive 1930s bike

disassemble it, scan it all

and then have to do all the castings

and basically build it from scratch.

No one would buy a bike like that

and take it completely apart

but we did.

- How's it going?
- We got the motorcycle.

Yeah, yeah. See, here is the part

that's, like, you've been, like,
telling me about.



- That's pretty sweet.
- Harley-Davidson. Super rare.

You gotta think, like, you know

these bikes back then
were handcrafted and handmade

with the entire force
of the motor company

behind a small group of people.

I mean, every single part
of this for as much

you might've worked on
a hundred motorcycles before

but this is such a challenge
because nothing existed.

A digital representation
of a part that can't be

- you know, reproduced easily.
- Yeah.

Getting that digital footprint
or fingerprint in

is always really smart.

So, we're gonna be able to copy these
and even get the original cast

and marks, and everything
right down to the T.

As we're building these bikes

you run into little things
that don't quite add up

or don't fit right.

You know, every little part
was handmade

and, all right,
you put something together.

"Ah, this part doesn't fit."

"All right. We'll get these scanned,
and we'll have prints

and then we'll go to the foundry,
make that."

We can be anywhere else
on this planet

any other square

but it's right here where we stand.

This is it.

It's what we do. This is it.

So, appreciate it.

As my wife said, I always say

"If it's not sketchy, it ain't fun."

That's not how we live.
Isn't that nice?

That's how we live, you know?

I think having
all these bikes together

and all these men
who I call friends together

is actually, you know...
that's the accomplishment.

Building this world
for my friends to capture this

and we can put together
something that's amazing

and that right there is, like, fun.

Accomplished it.

I had this dream to be able
to take all of my friends

that I've ever met in this community,
bring them together

and then race each other.

And what came out of it
were the Roamers.

We're an incredible bike group
whose brotherhood

and love for bikes runs deep.

And they have an unbelievable
sense of camaraderie

and when I met them

it was like being welcomed
into a family.

I wanted to make my own little...

just something for my buddies,
something special, so...

Brian Cannon.

Make it smaller, I'll be stuck in it.
Thank you, thank you.

You got medium.

There's a rebellious nature
to the motorcycle community.

I'm just a fan, really, of it all.

We all have
a deep-rooted love for bikes

and I love the idea
of building an event

where we could all share
this passion together.

One of my favorite parts
about the bike community

is how small it feels.

You meet one person and suddenly

you have all these people
who share the same love as you do.

Through Matt Walksler,
I met Buzz Kanter

A legend in the bike community.

He published a lot
of top motorcycle magazines

and he has a deep knowledge
of vintage bikes.

So, this is...
Tell me a little bit about it.

It's an original paint,
original 1927 Harley

with under 800 original miles.

It's over 95 years old

and it's traveled
less than 800 original miles.

It's a holy grail bike.

- You guys ready?
- I'm ready.

Dream come true.

Original everything.

Holy sh*t!

The 1927 JD is just unbelievable
to look at.

It's hard to explain
just how rare this bike is.

It's like looking at a time capsule
from a hundred years ago.

Anyone who gets close to this bike

and looks at it can see
the amazing paintwork

the craftsmanship
that can be duplicated today

but without the feel

without the soul.

I... I love things
from the early 1900s in every way.

I think there was a whole different
way of just things being built.

You know, the first dirt bike
that I had when I was 13

I saved up enough money
from cutting lawns

and bought my first dirt bike

and of course, didn't run,
so I had to take it apart.

Learn that way, put a new piston in.

So, like, right off the bat,
I was a mechanic.

Something I love is
taking a museum piece like this

and not just staring at it

but starting it.

To do that with a bike this rare
is unheard of.

Yep...

The bike was preserved so well,
it had vegetable oil in the tank

so that it wouldn't rust out
over time.

We fired it up, and it just smoked up
the entire shop.

How many races was this in?

How did they get the paint like that?

It's like...
there was the soul it holds

and how much sweat and friction.

Just knowing that Nick
brought that bike back to life

with his son there
experiencing his first ride

that was beautiful.

And that feeling...

that's what I'm chasing
when I find an old bike.

Oh, wait, oh, wait. They're here.

I hear it. Hear it.

It's coming in. It's in here.

Oh, you looked.

You sh*t. Spoil it.

- You guys ready?
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Yes.

It's ready.

Holy sh*t.

Look at that.

I mean...

Mama, it look good!

Looking at the pink '36

I was blown away.

Talking all these pieces

and having Silvio put together
my first stock '36...

and then to design it
the way you want it.

To go from a wild idea
to this finished bike.

Then I get to rip it around
with my friends on their '36s.

There's nothing better.

All right, so...

this is the first time
I'm gonna see the DAHs.

A little surprise for me.

Oh, damn.

Bro.

I've built and seen
so many beautiful bikes

and this is the most amazing moment
of seeing these bikes.

That's beautiful.

It's hard to believe that
this all started from one idea

of just seeing a DAH
brought back to life.

But now, standing in front of them

and being able to ride them
is an absolute privilege.

It's pretty amazing to go.
That bike right there...

We've got... Jeff Decker's coming in,
but to buy that from him.

Can we make some of these?

'Cause we can... If we have this,
we can make our own bikes.

And if we're making our own bikes,
we can make DAHs and DARs

and there's only one DAR out there.

Sixteen months later,
just so we can race 'em.

Just so we could all get together
and race these

'cause like
all those pictures you see of...

all those guys in the 1930s
having a good time on these bikes.

I'm like, "I wanna do that.

Why can't we do that?"

Seeing these bikes lined up
in front of me

ready to race with all my friends.

I just can't believe
we pulled it off.

I just wanna say thank you for...
for selling me this

and then also passing down
the history, like...

You know, I know you love this bike,
but it means a lot that I... you know

just to be able to have the vision
to make something like this

where we're all together.

- So, just thank you for...
- No, absolutely, man.

And... and it's... I'm happy that
it turned out this way, so beautiful.

Yeah, and this is probably
the only time?

There's never been four DAHs
running at once together. Never.

Building something
that nobody's ever done before

turned out to be a hell of a lot more
involved than we actually thought.

Nobody's ever ridden these things.

Maybe a handful of people
in the entire world

over the course of time
have ridden one of these.

It was just like a pipe dream.

It's one of those things
where you're like

"Ah, I wish we could do that.
Can we do that?"

"Oh, we're gonna do that? All right."

And then it all syncs in
for everyone.

You know, I get my own vision
of a bike

and to put a motor together
and then that whole anxiety.

Like, "How's it gonna run?"

And then when it fires up, like...

Ah, It's...
it's the greatest feeling.

They're so rare

and the way it feels, they're like...

and the way they sound,
they sound like these lions.

We woke up at 5.30 this morning
and started them up

and it just sounded like this...

Just this pride of lions,
growling in the dark.

It's been a lot of build-up.

"So, like, what... what are we
gonna be doing with these?"

"What we are gonna be doing?"
Like, "Where are we gonna be riding?"

"How are we even gonna set 'em up?"

I mean, whether
or not it was on our end

or on, you know, the filming schedule

or just, you know,
the logistics of everything.

I mean, I think anything
could've gone awry, so.

It's been very challenging
and obviously taxing on everyone

because we wanna make
all these things come true.

And here's the big thing.
It's like, it's all me.

It's all my heart.
It's everything I wanna do.

You're literally watching
everything that I love.

And so, that's scary.

It actually got to the point

where I didn't know
where we were gonna race these.

I knew I wanted to race these.

I figured it would be easy
to find a hill

'cause we've done it before

but it actually all kinda opened up
with a dear friend of mine.

I was over at his house
at Thanksgiving

and he told me that he had a track.

And I was like, "What?"
And we went and saw his track.

And it just... I called...
I called my... my partner, Brian.

I said, "I got it.
We have the track."

And I'm telling my friend about it,
and he's going...

"I don't know if you can race
these old bikes into it."

And also, the risk is
there's so much dust here

that it's very fine dirt
that if that gets in the motors

you're blowing up a hundred-plus
thousand dollars bikes.

You risk a lot for...

You risk blowing them up

to... to show the world

but it's worth it.

I had this crazy idea to take
this one very rare bike, the DAH

took it apart,
and then we made three of 'em.

This hasn't happened
since probably the 1930s.

Getting to see Decker do a hill climb

with a bike that started
this entire journey

it was surreal.

The slant artist.

Yeah, Decker!

- That was so cool, man.
- Yeah, man!

He didn't think he was gonna be
doing that two years ago.

That's awesome.

All right.

First one to the top
outta these three

between Cannon, Charles,
and... and Toscano

five grand, and it goes to whoever
you wanna donate that to a charity.

Five grand on this one, right?

It's the first one. You guys ready?

Let's get cameras ready.

Here, you can take 'em down here,
and then go race 'em up.

These bikes, they're like paintings.

They're these incredible works of art

and they've just been sitting there.

This is... it's... it's really
a dream come true for me

'cause I wanted to make
this show about all these artisans

and you guys are the tip-top for me.

You know, I love all these old bikes.

I don't... sadly don't know
how to build these by hand

but I appreciate you guys
so much, and I love riding

and then...and really,
being a filmmaker

I love having my friends

and with what I'm good at

capture what you guys are great at.

I treat these like delicate things
that aren't to be touched

and you guys
are hammering these things

and these are better
than the originals.

It's unbelievable.

And to see them treated the way
they were meant to be treated

you know, it's... it's something
of another level.

The group
that you've brought together

that we've got to play with
the last few years

it's just family.

It's amazing.

The people from all over

come together, like-minded

and it's just...
you guys are amazing.

- Thanks, J.
- All right, brothers.

- Absolutely, man.
- We love you, man.

Taking something that's never been
ridden since the '30s

and then making four of them
and racing them.

They've never even had four
of them together, ever, to race.

That's so cool and so much fun

and the people that are creating
them are just like

"I can't believe I'm doing this,"
and I'm like...

"I can't believe I'm doing this."

And I hope people
get inspired by that

going like,
"Yeah, that sh*t's possible.

It's not possible, but... is it?

Let's go do it. Let's try."

I hope my memory is good enough
that I never forget it.

That's pretty much...
It's been really, really amazing.

I mean, when I'm gone
it'll still be there, hopefully.

I could leave something to my kid.

He gets to see this
'cause he's only one years old now

so he'll be able to see the process
of what we've done

and, yeah,
something for my kid to see.

It's really wild
to see 'em all come alive

and especially
when you've got, you know

a dozen motorcycles firing at once.

They're all, like, hyper-tuned

and it really is these monsters,
you know, barking at each other.

Even before I got into acting,
I was bussing tables.

And I was working at a surf shop.

I was 19 years old.

Just wanted to climb and surf.

And when I, you know,
got into acting on the show

I didn't make much money,
and I lived with my dad.

I was like,
"All I wanted was a Harley."

And I wanted a Panhead,
and I finally got it.

I just knew I wanted one.

I've ridden tons of dirt bikes,
biked my whole life.

But I didn't know anything about it.

I just knew I loved that sound.

I loved the way it felt.

I wanted to learn it.

I wanted to, like,
just dive into the culture of it.

But all I wanted to do
was go across America

and I wanted to just go to all these
destinations and just be like

"All right. Here's just...
My life is in these saddlebags."

And I was just this vagabond,
and I wanted to have my Harley.

You can be on a new bike,
and I could be on this old one.

We're on the same road
in the same moment

and it's just...

it's such a high to be
on something that's so old.

I think there's nothing like it
in the world.
