"But he's a nice dog, so we're not going to get ugly about it". You're so pure, Mike! Thank you for such wonderful videos - consistently. These are pretty therapeutic videos for the gear heads out there.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have come across your channel, Mike. I have a 76 shovel inherited from my late uncle that needs some work. No stranger to turning wrenches, I'm still cautious when working on this very sentimental motorcycle. Your videos have given me hope and confidence to go a little deeper. Thanks, man.

Mike is a rare breed! A mellow mechanic!

[markstikkel]

Most professional, and non “ self - serving “ !
What a breath of fresh air .
I’ve owned (6) shovels ... totally appreciate your delivery .

Hi Mike, can't thank you enough for what you're doing. It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid to build a chopper and I finally bought an old '84 Shovel a few months ago. It's my first bike, and my first real mechanical project. I've been taking it apart and putting it back together every day since and your videos have been invaluable every step of the way. I truly wouldn't be as confident or this far along without your generosity and immense experience. You truly have helped me make a dream come true. I can't wait to send you a video of me kicking the bike over for the first time. All the best and hope to see much much more of your work for a while to come.

I love the way you talk and explain things...you are like the bob ross of bikes

[davidminter]

I can say from over here on the right coast, y’all are lucky to have Mike. We are all lucky to have him explain things so simply. If I was younger and in California I would have been a hang around at your shop to learn. Not too many people can say they had their hands in flat heads, knucks, pans, shovels, and evos.

Thank you for this video. I'm building a 1/8 scale model of a Harley and this will prove to be a valuable resource aid for detailing it's engine. I did learn that the engine for the model is a 'Shovelhead'.

[georgecolon]

Awesome channel! You're voice and how you explain things makes me feel as if I'm watching the Bob Ross of engine rebuilding.

[timsullivan]

Great Job Mike! I’m no mechanic but love to see a master at his craft!

[chrisgoodwin]

You do these videos perfectly man, infromative and your great at explaining all the odities unique to these engines, you are an awesome teacher man thank you

[TheWalther]

This is the last real USA Harley engine. It is my dream... German idea Evo and complicated TwinCam are aluminum jokes ... Great job Mr. ! I have Polish motorcycle WSK 125 from 1983 and it is so simple like Shovelhead ;-) Regards from Poland !

Hi Mike, Jim from Massachusetts, 80 Shovelhead. I’m just gonna take out the main shaft washer spacer/washer and put it back on the way it was. After this belt goes I’m just going to go back to the primary chain 😔. I’m 63 years old and work on the ground. Just can’t do it anymore. I’m still gonna watch you though. I’ll see ya when I see ya 👋.
