1
00:00:04,705 --> 00:00:06,106
JERSEY JON: I love the trees
down here.

2
00:00:06,273 --> 00:00:08,041
Like the palmetto palms
and all the live oaks

3
00:00:08,141 --> 00:00:10,811
with all the Spanish moss.
It's really picturesque.

4
00:00:10,911 --> 00:00:12,045
ROB: You know, Jersey?
JERSEY JON: What?

5
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:13,480
ROB: You're looking at trees

6
00:00:13,647 --> 00:00:15,315
and I'm looking through
the trees

7
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:16,917
to see what's on these
properties.

8
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,952
JERSEY JON: I know, Robbie.
You're just so visual. I get it.

9
00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:21,221
(phone ringing)
ROB: Well, you need to be
visual. That's what your job is.

10
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:22,556
JERSEY JON: Yeah. Hey!
ROB: What's up?

11
00:00:22,656 --> 00:00:24,758
MIKE: Hey man, where you at?
You in Florida, yet?

12
00:00:24,858 --> 00:00:26,393
JERSEY JON: Yeah,
we're in Florida.
ROB: Right outside

13
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,028
of Daytona Beach.
MIKE: Okay, great.

14
00:00:28,195 --> 00:00:31,098
That's perfect because I need
you guys to do me a favor.

15
00:00:31,265 --> 00:00:33,166
Jersey, you know Steve Coe?
JERSEY JON: Yeah!

16
00:00:33,267 --> 00:00:35,068
He's been on like four or five
Cannonballs with me.

17
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:36,670
MIKE: He lives outside
of Daytona.

18
00:00:36,837 --> 00:00:38,472
I was there years ago, man.

19
00:00:38,639 --> 00:00:40,674
He sent me photos like
six months ago

20
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:43,076
of some really nice
36 knuck heads

21
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:44,645
that I would love to have.

22
00:00:44,745 --> 00:00:46,680
MIKE: If you guys are in
the area, just pop by there.

23
00:00:46,847 --> 00:00:48,115
He'd probably love
to see you, Jersey.

24
00:00:48,282 --> 00:00:50,417
JERSEY JON: I'd love
to see Steve. I haven't
seen him in a while.

25
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:51,919
MIKE: Alright, guys.
See you in a few days.

26
00:00:52,019 --> 00:00:53,120
JERSEY JON: Alright, later.
ROB: Bye.

27
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:54,588
JERSEY JON: Six months ago?
What the hell, dude?!

28
00:00:54,755 --> 00:00:56,256
You gotta jump on this stuff
when it happens!

29
00:00:56,423 --> 00:00:58,659
JERSEY JON: These are 1936
knucklehead heads.

30
00:00:58,825 --> 00:01:01,828
They are super rare and this
dumb (bleep) is letting
them sit there?

31
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:03,363
(laughing)

32
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:12,839
JERSEY JON: Alright,
he texted back.

33
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:14,908
He says he's working
on a project, he's out back.

34
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,677
Go through the metal gate,
it's all good.

35
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:17,844
ROB: Alright.

36
00:01:17,945 --> 00:01:19,079
JERSEY JON: Steve Coe
is like a fixture

37
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:20,747
in the motorcycle community.

38
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,516
He's a mechanical wizard.

39
00:01:22,616 --> 00:01:25,118
Me and Steve, we've been on
the same transcontinental races

40
00:01:25,218 --> 00:01:26,954
several times
going across the country

41
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,623
from coast to coast
on antique motorcycles.

42
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:30,991
I mean, they're really
early bikes.

43
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:34,861
I took my 1911 Harley,
belt drive, single cylinder.

44
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:36,697
When you take a bike
like that, it's like riding

45
00:01:36,863 --> 00:01:38,198
your lawnmower across
the country.

46
00:01:38,298 --> 00:01:40,667
They're underpowered,
they don't go up mountains.

47
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,769
It's incredibly difficult to do.

48
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:45,772
And Steve, he's done it with me.
It's a badge of honor.

49
00:01:45,872 --> 00:01:48,475
There's a brotherhood. We got
a lot of road in our blood.

50
00:01:48,642 --> 00:01:49,910
ROB: Right here.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, this is it.

51
00:01:50,077 --> 00:01:51,545
There's a metal gate.
Let's do it.

52
00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:55,248
This place is cool, man!

53
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:58,752
JERSEY JON: Hello?
Hello, hello, hello?

54
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:02,022
ROB: Any dogs in here you think?
JERSEY JON: Be careful, bro.

55
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:04,191
ROB: I'm being careful.

56
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:06,994
Hello?
JERSEY JON: Hello?

57
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:08,829
ROB: Hello?
BARBARA: Hey!

58
00:02:08,929 --> 00:02:10,831
What the (bleep)?

59
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:13,600
(Bleep)! (Bleep)!

60
00:02:17,471 --> 00:02:19,640
MIKE: So, tell me more
about this Servi-Car!

61
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:21,108
DANIELLE: Are you
in Sacramento yet?

62
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:22,943
MIKE: I am already
through Sacramento.

63
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:24,811
DANIELLE: Perfect. Well,
I've been talking to Cathe

64
00:02:24,911 --> 00:02:26,747
this morning. She's looking
out for you, okay?

65
00:02:26,913 --> 00:02:29,516
MIKE: So, you have no idea
what year Servi-Car this is?

66
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:31,985
DANIELLE: All I know
is it has three wheels,

67
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:34,221
and it's a Harley,
and it's early.

68
00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:35,555
MIKE: Okay.
DANIELLE: Listen, I want you

69
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:36,990
to be surprised when you see it.

70
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,458
MIKE: Alright, well,
I'll let you go.

71
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,193
I'll call you later
and tell you how it went.

72
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,229
DANIELLE: Okay. Have a good day.
MIKE: Alright, bye.

73
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:45,999
(knocking)

74
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,368
MIKE: Hey, you Cathe?
CATHE: Hi. Yes.

75
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:50,170
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
You talk to Dani on the phone?

76
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:52,072
CATHE: Yes. Nice to meet you.
MIKE: Here, I wanted to give

77
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:54,007
you one of these. She said you
had a motorcycle but still...

78
00:02:54,107 --> 00:02:56,143
MIKE: Anything connected
to motorcycles too.

79
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:57,678
CATHE: Well, we've got
some things for you.

80
00:02:57,778 --> 00:02:59,012
MIKE: Okay.
CATHE: My uncle was

81
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:00,647
Uncle Fernando and he had

82
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:02,682
a gas station
in Oakland, California.

83
00:03:02,783 --> 00:03:05,485
MIKE: She said it was a,
um, a three-wheeler?

84
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:07,354
CATHE: Yes.
MIKE: Okay, cool. Whose was it?

85
00:03:07,487 --> 00:03:09,356
CATHE: It was my uncle's.
MIKE: Okay.

86
00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:10,857
Oh wow, you got it under a tarp.

87
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,392
CATHE: Well, it's special.

88
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:14,494
MIKE: Yeah. Can we pull it off?

89
00:03:14,661 --> 00:03:15,662
CATHE: Sure.

90
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:17,864
MIKE: Whoa! What the heck
is this?

91
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:19,766
No!

92
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,635
No way!

93
00:03:21,735 --> 00:03:23,637
I've never seen
anything like this.

94
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:30,944
ROB: Any dogs in here you think?
JERSEY JON: Be careful, bro.

95
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:32,279
BARBARA: Hey!

96
00:03:32,446 --> 00:03:34,181
What the (bleep)?

97
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,516
ROB: It wasn't a Rottweiler.
It was a lady.

98
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,118
And she looked pissed.

99
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,786
JERSEY JON: How are you doing?
I'm Jon.

100
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:41,922
BARBARA: Can I help you?
ROB: Yeah, Rob.

101
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:43,056
JERSEY JON: Hey. I texted Steve.

102
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,591
Mike was talking to him.
I texted--

103
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:46,593
BARBARA: Oh, he's back there.
JERSEY JON: He's back there?

104
00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:48,428
BARBARA: Yeah. Just go see him.

105
00:03:48,528 --> 00:03:49,796
JERSEY JON: Hey,
I'm Jon, by the way.

106
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,465
BARBARA: I'm Barbara.
JERSEY JON: Barbara,
nice to meet you.

107
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:53,300
ROB: Rob.
JERSEY JON: Hey, thanks
for letting us in.

108
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:55,569
BARBARA: Well, anybody walks
through that gate, so...

109
00:03:55,669 --> 00:03:57,871
JERSEY JON: Of course, yeah.
BARBARA: Straight back.

110
00:03:58,038 --> 00:03:58,972
JERSEY JON: Alright.
ROB: Alright.

111
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,240
JERSEY JON: Steve!

112
00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:03,844
ROB: Hey, Steve!
JERSEY JON: Hey!

113
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:04,945
STEVE: Hey!

114
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:06,313
JERSEY JON: What's going on,
Steve?

115
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,948
STEVE: Man.
JERSEY JON: How you been,
brother?

116
00:04:08,115 --> 00:04:09,850
ROB: What's going on, buddy?
JERSEY JON: Good to see you

117
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:12,419
again, man. It's been
a long time, man! Woo!

118
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,454
ROB: What's going on, dude?
STEVE: This is a buddy of mine.

119
00:04:14,621 --> 00:04:16,656
JERSEY JON: Hey,
how are you, man?
DARREN: How are you doing, Jon?

120
00:04:16,823 --> 00:04:18,325
JERSEY JON: I remember you guys
from the swap meet.

121
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:19,826
This place is awesome.
What's going on here?

122
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:21,261
STEVE: This is the way
hillbillies do it.

123
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:23,029
JERSEY JON: 45 here?
STEVE: Yep. Just building
another one

124
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:24,664
just to take it out there
for a pace bike

125
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:27,033
at the Sons of Speed thing I do.
JERSEY JON: Oh right, cool!

126
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,702
STEVE: I started racing in 1987

127
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:30,570
at the Daytona Speedway.

128
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:32,839
I got hooked on that.
Then I started just travelling

129
00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:34,641
the whole country,
doing the whole race circuit.

130
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:37,110
I had to go try out every track
there is just so I could say

131
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,612
I been there and raced on it.

132
00:04:38,712 --> 00:04:39,880
Never won a race.

133
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:41,314
Never won a race in my life.

134
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:44,117
I've come in second a few times,
but I just enjoy

135
00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:46,486
riding around,
waving at everybody.
Just being there.

136
00:04:46,586 --> 00:04:47,788
STEVE: You got down here
for bike week?

137
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:49,790
JERSEY JON: Well, I mean...
Mike sent us down here.

138
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:50,924
ROB: Yeah.
STEVE: Okay.

139
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:52,792
ROB: He said he talked
to you like six months ago.

140
00:04:52,893 --> 00:04:54,227
JERSEY JON: Six months ago,
dude.

141
00:04:54,394 --> 00:04:55,829
He said you had a set
of '36 knuckleheads.

142
00:04:55,996 --> 00:04:57,430
STEVE: Nah, I did,
but believe it or not,

143
00:04:57,597 --> 00:04:59,299
some floppy guy come
and got them.

144
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:01,268
JERSEY JON: Ah, man!
ROB: Really?

145
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:02,769
STEVE: It was laying out there.

146
00:05:02,869 --> 00:05:04,437
STEVE: He paid me money
for them, but...

147
00:05:04,604 --> 00:05:05,872
I really didn't want
to sell them,

148
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:07,841
but some stuff
you got to let go.

149
00:05:07,941 --> 00:05:09,743
ROB: Any other knuckle parts?
STEVE: No.

150
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:11,411
There's a little bit
of everything.
There's everything.

151
00:05:11,511 --> 00:05:13,814
JERSEY JON: I mean, we're here.
You mind showing us
around a little bit?

152
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:15,448
STEVE: Let me show you around,
see what you like.

153
00:05:15,549 --> 00:05:16,550
JERSEY JON: Alright,
that'd be great.

154
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:18,084
STEVE: Darren, stay back
and get that cup done.

155
00:05:18,185 --> 00:05:19,186
DARREN: Alright.

156
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,622
MIKE: I've never seen
anything like this.

157
00:05:22,789 --> 00:05:24,157
No!

158
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:25,759
No way!

159
00:05:25,859 --> 00:05:27,794
The engine. That's a JD.

160
00:05:27,894 --> 00:05:29,062
Gosh!

161
00:05:29,229 --> 00:05:30,564
She said it was
a Harley Servi-Car,

162
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:33,033
which was a bike
that Harley actually made,

163
00:05:33,133 --> 00:05:35,101
but this is way
earlier than that.

164
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:37,704
MIKE: Harley-Davidson started
manufacturing motorcycles

165
00:05:37,871 --> 00:05:39,105
in 1903.

166
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:41,942
By 1912, 1915,
they were really honing in

167
00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:44,711
on what the consumer
was using their bike for.

168
00:05:44,878 --> 00:05:47,681
There were sidecars back then,
people were carrying stuff.

169
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:50,150
Both manufacturers,
Indian and Harley,

170
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,118
were looking at that
and realizing

171
00:05:52,219 --> 00:05:55,121
that they could make something
for the commercial market.

172
00:05:55,222 --> 00:05:57,791
It was another revenue stream
they could go down.

173
00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:00,060
Harley-Davidson started
manufacturing

174
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:02,462
the motorcycle truck
with two wheels in the front

175
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:04,030
and a box in the center.

176
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,433
Harley also offered
the package truck

177
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,035
which was a large box
mounted like a sidecar.

178
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:12,606
MIKE: By 1931, Indian introduced
the Dispatch Tow

179
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:16,676
and Harley wasn't far behind
with the Servi-Car in 1932.

180
00:06:16,843 --> 00:06:18,645
At that time,
they really perfected

181
00:06:18,745 --> 00:06:20,146
what these bikes should be,

182
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:22,115
two wheels in the back,
and a box.

183
00:06:22,282 --> 00:06:24,551
It was more stable
with more weight.

184
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:27,554
The Servi-Car wasn't just
used for commercial purposes,

185
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:29,823
it was also used
by municipalities

186
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:32,325
like fire departments
and police departments.

187
00:06:32,425 --> 00:06:34,461
One of the industries
that latched onto

188
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:37,631
all three of these designs
over all of these years

189
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:40,033
were the gas stations
and service garages.

190
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,801
MIKE: I mean, it's incredible!

191
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,638
CATHE: It's a 1921 Harley

192
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:47,207
that my uncle modified

193
00:06:47,307 --> 00:06:50,410
for his business
in Oakland, California.

194
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:51,878
MIKE: It's just so unique.

195
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:53,747
There's so many different
things going on.

196
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:55,548
And I love the advertising.

197
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:58,918
CATHE: Uncle Fernando made it
and added this whole part.

198
00:06:59,019 --> 00:07:00,520
MIKE: I mean, it's crazy!

199
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:01,955
MIKE: Once I get past
the excitement

200
00:07:02,055 --> 00:07:04,557
of seeing the bike,
then I'm drawn into

201
00:07:04,658 --> 00:07:07,994
what they did to make
something so unique,

202
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:10,463
so different, so one-of-a-kind.

203
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:12,198
MIKE: What year did they
open the gas station?

204
00:07:12,299 --> 00:07:13,600
CATHE: Sometime in the '30s.

205
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,402
MIKE: Well, that makes sense
then, because there's different

206
00:07:15,502 --> 00:07:18,071
parts here.
The engine is a 1921,

207
00:07:18,238 --> 00:07:21,141
but the fork is from the '30s.
This is off a VL.

208
00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:23,243
This is what they call
an I-beam front fork.

209
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:24,678
This is a later front fender.

210
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:27,347
This is an Indian headlight,
which is really interesting.

211
00:07:27,514 --> 00:07:29,082
CATHE: Combination of...
MIKE: Yeah, just a combination

212
00:07:29,182 --> 00:07:30,517
of a bunch of different stuff.

213
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,353
MIKE: It's a 1921
Harley JD engine.

214
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:36,189
That's the first year
for the Harley JD.

215
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:38,925
But then it's got
a VL fork on it

216
00:07:39,025 --> 00:07:41,094
which didn't come out
until the 1930s.

217
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:42,696
And it's got
an Indian headlight,

218
00:07:42,862 --> 00:07:44,431
the handlebars
have been cut down,

219
00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:46,066
there's a brace
put across them.

220
00:07:46,232 --> 00:07:49,436
The front fender
is also JD, but it's later.

221
00:07:49,602 --> 00:07:51,805
MIKE: And then it's still got
the original transmission in it.

222
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:53,473
It's got reverse on it, too.

223
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,309
MIKE: The tanks on the bike
are JDH

224
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:57,644
and they're very narrow,

225
00:07:57,744 --> 00:07:59,612
so I think they're JDH
sport tanks,

226
00:07:59,713 --> 00:08:01,381
which are very rare
within itself.

227
00:08:01,548 --> 00:08:03,750
MIKE: It's got car taillights
on the back of it.

228
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:05,352
Look how elaborate this box is.

229
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:07,787
I mean, it looks like
it was factory-made.

230
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:09,789
This is the original section
of the frame,

231
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:13,059
this rear triangle, and they've
welded these plates in

232
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:16,229
to reinforce the rear end
of this thing.

233
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:18,298
MIKE: And then you start looking
at the rear end of the frame

234
00:08:18,465 --> 00:08:20,033
and how it's cut,
there's plates in it.

235
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,968
MIKE: Obviously, they had
to shorten it up.

236
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:24,471
Okay, I see what they got
going on under there.

237
00:08:24,637 --> 00:08:26,373
Oh my God, it's crazy cool.

238
00:08:26,473 --> 00:08:28,274
He had the mind of an engineer
the way he built this.

239
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:31,244
MIKE: All of this stuff
has been repurposed

240
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:33,646
into something that he needed.

241
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:35,849
This was a utilitarian vehicle.

242
00:08:35,949 --> 00:08:38,785
This wasn't just a custom job,
a one-off for fun.

243
00:08:38,952 --> 00:08:41,788
MIKE: This box right here,
this is where the battery was.

244
00:08:41,888 --> 00:08:43,123
CATHE: Okay.
MIKE: So, you can see cables.

245
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:44,324
So it actually took like,

246
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:46,393
a battery the size
of a car battery.

247
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,527
CATHE: That's crazy.
MIKE: Yeah. No,

248
00:08:47,627 --> 00:08:49,763
that's really cool. Gosh.

249
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,098
MIKE: There's so much
that is impressive about it.

250
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:54,501
It's the quality of work,
the craftsmanship,

251
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:56,436
the pieces that he chose to use.

252
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,204
MIKE: So you can see where
they cut this fender

253
00:08:58,304 --> 00:09:01,307
and rewelded it to fit it
into this fork.

254
00:09:01,474 --> 00:09:03,109
All of this is brilliant.

255
00:09:03,276 --> 00:09:05,011
The way that the tow bar
comes up,

256
00:09:05,111 --> 00:09:07,847
mounts underneath
that toolbox mount here.

257
00:09:07,947 --> 00:09:11,618
The way that this arm
is bent around the rocker

258
00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:14,287
to clear that. I mean,
it's really well thought out.

259
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:16,990
CATHE: He was a mechanic
and a machinist.

260
00:09:17,157 --> 00:09:18,525
MIKE: So, basically,
he had the ability to build

261
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:20,260
exactly what he needed.
CATHE: Yes.

262
00:09:20,427 --> 00:09:22,195
CATHE: Fernando was a genius.

263
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:26,666
A self-made man who only had
grammar school education.

264
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,068
MIKE: It's brilliant.
And this isn't shade tree

265
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:31,704
mechanic stuff. I mean,
he was very good

266
00:09:31,871 --> 00:09:33,873
at manufacturing
what he didn't have

267
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,076
or repurposing
what he didn't have.

268
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,311
I mean, all of it
coming together,

269
00:09:38,478 --> 00:09:41,281
it's really a utilitarian
masterpiece.

270
00:09:41,381 --> 00:09:43,316
MIKE: It's unbelievable.
I've never seen anything

271
00:09:43,483 --> 00:09:46,219
this early with this cool
advertising on it.

272
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:48,521
MIKE: I mean, the advertising
is what's getting me too.

273
00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:50,557
CATHE: Yeah.
MIKE: They were selling
Mobil products.

274
00:09:50,657 --> 00:09:52,959
And here's the Pegasus
horse on it.

275
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:56,196
That's stuff that people
are trying to recreate now.

276
00:09:56,296 --> 00:09:58,231
I mean, this is obviously
all original.

277
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:01,367
I mean, it's such
a time capsule. It's crazy.

278
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,570
MIKE: It's really difficult
to say what year

279
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:06,840
he built this bike, but based
on all the parts I'm seeing,

280
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:08,441
I would say it was built
in the '30s,

281
00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:10,677
right around the same time
he opened the gas station.

282
00:10:10,844 --> 00:10:12,912
MIKE: I think these
were porcelain signs

283
00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:15,482
that he cut
because the back of it,

284
00:10:15,582 --> 00:10:16,916
it just feels like
there's a little bit

285
00:10:17,016 --> 00:10:18,585
of porcelain on there.
CATHE: Uh-huh.

286
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:21,254
MIKE: And so, they painted
over something.

287
00:10:21,421 --> 00:10:24,124
Even if you're not
a motorcycle person,

288
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:26,626
you know, you look at this
and you're like, wow,

289
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:28,795
that's from an old gas station.
CATHE: Yeah.

290
00:10:28,895 --> 00:10:30,230
MIKE: And that tells
the whole story.

291
00:10:30,396 --> 00:10:32,632
CATHE: Well, Mike, it sounds
like you're really interested.

292
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:35,034
MIKE: Yeah, heck yeah.
Yes, I'm very interested.

293
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:37,403
CATHE: The motorcycle
was left to both

294
00:10:37,504 --> 00:10:39,038
my sister and myself,

295
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:42,208
and I don't want to make
any decisions without her.

296
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,277
MIKE: Absolutely.
CATHE: Why don't I call
my sister.

297
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:46,079
She just lives around
the corner and I'll have her

298
00:10:46,246 --> 00:10:49,516
bring all the memorabilia
and different things
she has on it.

299
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:51,417
MIKE: Okay. Yeah, thank you.

300
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,428
STEVE: We'd play pool
in here twice a week

301
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:04,230
for the last 35 years.
JERSEY JON: Wow!

302
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:06,399
ROB: What the heck?!
JERSEY JON: This is great!

303
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:09,068
STEVE: For 15 years,
I built houses in Palm Coast

304
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:11,237
and I'd keep all the wood
left over on the jobs

305
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:14,040
and built this farm.
I did motel demolition work

306
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:17,076
for years so every picture,
every brick, every mirror,

307
00:11:17,243 --> 00:11:20,246
every chandelier, I took all
this stuff down out of a motel.

308
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,849
People think I'm rich,
but it all come from dumpsters.

309
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:24,751
JERSEY JON: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, Steve, what is this?

310
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:26,719
STEVE: Oh, that's actually
my hat.

311
00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:28,922
There's 28 years
of AMA badges on there.

312
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:30,023
JERSEY JON: That is killer.

313
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:31,591
STEVE: Every one
of them was mine.

314
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:33,026
JERSEY JON: Ooh. It's a real
Harley-Davidson hat.

315
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:34,060
STEVE: Oh yeah.

316
00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:35,061
STEVE: I've had good
racing luck.

317
00:11:35,228 --> 00:11:36,763
I know hundreds of guys
that raced

318
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:38,665
but none of them
have had good luck to finish

319
00:11:38,831 --> 00:11:41,467
every race they ran,
and out of them 28 years,

320
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:43,036
every race I ever ran,
I finished.

321
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:44,704
That's real good luck,

322
00:11:44,871 --> 00:11:46,172
because that don't
happen to everybody.

323
00:11:46,272 --> 00:11:47,440
JERSEY JON: The Harley
captain's hat,

324
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,208
it's like, iconic.
All the badges

325
00:11:49,309 --> 00:11:50,476
are just so cool on there.

326
00:11:50,643 --> 00:11:51,911
STEVE: They're all real.
Since '87.

327
00:11:52,078 --> 00:11:54,247
STEVE: I'm out there,
the only one out there smiling

328
00:11:54,347 --> 00:11:56,716
and having a good time
because all these racer guys,

329
00:11:56,883 --> 00:11:58,551
they're all serious and they're
wanting to win the race

330
00:11:58,651 --> 00:12:00,954
and they did all this (bleep)
to get there, and I'm out there

331
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:04,824
riding around waving at people
because that's just me.

332
00:12:04,991 --> 00:12:06,059
(laughs)

333
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:07,760
JERSEY JON: This is a big
part of your history.

334
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:09,896
STEVE: Oh, it is.
JERSEY JON: So, I'm not
even going to ask.

335
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:12,065
STEVE: Yeah, I can't sell that.
JERSEY JON: I get you, dude.

336
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:13,266
ROB: Hey, Steve.
STEVE: Yeah?

337
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:14,767
ROB: What are these
headlights off of?

338
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,069
STEVE: Oh, no, no, no.

339
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:17,804
ROB: I know a guy like Steve.

340
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:20,039
All these parts down here,
they're untouchable.

341
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:21,641
Don't even ask about them
because that's

342
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:22,875
the next project for him.

343
00:12:22,976 --> 00:12:24,010
ROB: Steve, what's up here?

344
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:25,445
STEVE: Oh, car parts,
bike parts.

345
00:12:25,545 --> 00:12:27,747
ROB: But when I found
the cubby hole,

346
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:29,115
I knew the game was on.

347
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:30,583
JERSEY JON: Man,
it's hot up here!

348
00:12:30,783 --> 00:12:32,552
JERSEY JON: This is the one
opportunity that I'm gonna

349
00:12:32,652 --> 00:12:33,987
be able to get
into Steve's place.

350
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:35,521
He doesn't let anybody in here.

351
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:37,790
We're real lucky to be pawning
around in here.

352
00:12:37,957 --> 00:12:39,592
JERSEY JON: Whoa, whoa, whoa,
these are cool.

353
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,794
Risers. Flanders risers.
STEVE: That's real ones, yep.

354
00:12:41,894 --> 00:12:43,663
JERSEY JON: Flanders risers
raised your handlebars

355
00:12:43,830 --> 00:12:46,232
to give your bike that
quintessential chopper look.

356
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:47,800
JERSEY JON: Want to do
something with these?

357
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:49,235
STEVE: Uh... maybe I'll
take an offer on them.

358
00:12:49,402 --> 00:12:51,504
JERSEY JON: Let me see what
else you got going on up here.

359
00:12:51,671 --> 00:12:54,007
JERSEY JON: Oh my God,
look at these things, man!

360
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,742
Ron Finch.
STEVE: Yeah, I know Ron.

361
00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:56,909
JERSEY JON: He's a friend
of mine.

362
00:12:57,076 --> 00:12:59,412
JERSEY JON: Ron Finch
is an amazing artist

363
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:02,315
and motorcycle enthusiast
from Michigan.

364
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:05,785
He made these outrageous
aftermarket parts

365
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:07,954
for choppers back in the '60s.

366
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:09,589
STEVE: I'm surprised you
recognize all that old stuff.

367
00:13:09,689 --> 00:13:11,624
JERSEY JON: Yeah. Old chopper
stuff, man. This is good.

368
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,726
JERSEY JON: Big lights.
They're like ten inches long.

369
00:13:13,826 --> 00:13:15,161
JERSEY JON: Pawn lights
they call them.

370
00:13:15,261 --> 00:13:16,996
STEVE: Yep. They used
to put them on trikes.

371
00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:18,631
JERSEY JON: I've seen them
on choppers too, you know.

372
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,700
But they're cool for the trikes.
STEVE: I know.

373
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:22,168
JERSEY JON: What are you
thinking on these?

374
00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:23,636
STEVE: Make me an offer.

375
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,805
JERSEY JON: Anything that's
connected with Ron Finch

376
00:13:25,905 --> 00:13:28,775
is highly coveted
in the chopper culture.

377
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:30,843
It's like underground
chopper stuff.

378
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:33,212
JERSEY JON: For the pair? 400.

379
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:34,480
STEVE: You got it.
JERSEY JON: Yeah?

380
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:35,715
See, that was too quick.

381
00:13:35,882 --> 00:13:38,785
I should've offered you three!
Alright, wait, wait, wait.

382
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:40,420
What about the dog bone risers?

383
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:41,821
STEVE: Nah, we're talking
a different ballgame there.

384
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:43,623
JERSEY JON: No, come on!
What kind of ballgame

385
00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:44,991
are you talking about?

386
00:13:45,091 --> 00:13:46,592
You love them too much,
I can tell already.

387
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:48,061
STEVE: Yeah, that's
because they're real.

388
00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:50,029
JERSEY JON: This is an original
pair of Flanders risers.

389
00:13:50,129 --> 00:13:51,597
STEVE: There's a million
aftermarket ones.

390
00:13:51,698 --> 00:13:53,866
JERSEY JON: Yeah, I get it.
What are you thinking?

391
00:13:54,033 --> 00:13:55,601
STEVE: Five.
JERSEY JON: Ooh. Five?

392
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:56,836
STEVE: That's a lot.
That's the,

393
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:58,237
"I don't want to sell them"
price.

394
00:13:58,404 --> 00:14:00,573
JERSEY JON: I'll tell you what.
I would go four.

395
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,508
Would you do four?

396
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,877
That's 800 for the pawn lights
and the risers.

397
00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:06,446
I'd do 400 each.
STEVE: Yeah.

398
00:14:06,546 --> 00:14:07,714
JERSEY JON: Man, this is great!

399
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,716
STEVE: You're one of the few
to ever get to buy anything.

400
00:14:09,882 --> 00:14:11,551
JERSEY JON: I get it.
STEVE: That's because
I know you.

401
00:14:11,651 --> 00:14:13,319
JERSEY JON: Yeah, exactly.
And I mean, we've been going

402
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:14,721
to swap meets together
for how long?

403
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:16,422
STEVE: Forever.
JERSEY JON: Forever.
Since the '80s.

404
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:18,124
JERSEY JON: It's only because
I earned Steve's respect

405
00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:20,460
that he's allowed me to go up
into his parts room

406
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:22,261
and dig through his stuff.

407
00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:23,796
JERSEY JON: Thank you
so much, my friend.

408
00:14:25,431 --> 00:14:27,433
MIKE: I love
your uncle's entrepreneurship

409
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:30,403
and heart of like,
just putting all over the place

410
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:32,071
what he's doing.
CATHE: Exactly.

411
00:14:32,238 --> 00:14:33,506
MIKE: They sold Mobil products,

412
00:14:33,673 --> 00:14:35,241
they were a service station.

413
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:37,477
Everywhere you look
on the vehicle,

414
00:14:37,577 --> 00:14:40,646
even on the gas tanks,
the Pegasus is on the tank.

415
00:14:40,747 --> 00:14:41,814
CATHE: Exactly.

416
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:43,850
MIKE: This was his calling card
to the world

417
00:14:43,950 --> 00:14:45,818
when he wasn't on his property.

418
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:47,487
When he left the gas station

419
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:50,823
to go on a towing call
or a service call,

420
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,558
this is what people saw him on.

421
00:14:52,658 --> 00:14:54,861
They saw his name,
they saw the colors,

422
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:57,063
they saw the craftsmanship
of this bike

423
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:58,998
and they understood
that this guy

424
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:01,200
could build or fix anything.

425
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:05,071
MIKE: Look at this. This went
on the front right here.

426
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:07,039
CATHE: Oh...
MIKE: And bolted to there.

427
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:09,942
And then this clamped
on a bumper.

428
00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:11,911
See this C-shape here?

429
00:15:12,078 --> 00:15:14,614
That would clamp
on the bumper of a car.

430
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,315
And then they could pull it.

431
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:18,551
They could tow the car.
That's amazing.

432
00:15:18,718 --> 00:15:20,186
CATHE: My goodness.
MIKE: Oh my God, look at how

433
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:22,355
that's all coupled together
where it can be moving

434
00:15:22,455 --> 00:15:25,658
in any way. So, Harley
made something like this

435
00:15:25,825 --> 00:15:29,262
where there was a bar
that came up and folded forward.

436
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,564
So, they took this on and off
and kept it in the box.

437
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:33,699
CATHE: Mike pulled out
the tow bar

438
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:35,134
which we had no clue,

439
00:15:35,234 --> 00:15:36,769
we didn't even know it
was in there

440
00:15:36,869 --> 00:15:39,005
because we haven't
touched the bike.

441
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:40,640
MIKE: So, all the stuff
that's in the back

442
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:43,409
of the box here,
this was just always in here?

443
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:46,312
MIKE: There are so many things
that he needed on a service call

444
00:15:46,479 --> 00:15:48,481
that are still left here
in the box.

445
00:15:48,581 --> 00:15:50,950
There's a vice, there's rope,
there's clamps.

446
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:52,952
These are all his tools.
It's like her uncle

447
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:56,155
parked this vehicle
decades ago and walked away.

448
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:57,523
Everything is here.

449
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:59,325
MIKE: Here's the beauty
of riding something like this,

450
00:15:59,425 --> 00:16:02,128
especially in Oakland.
You know, it's a big city.

451
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:04,764
They can maneuver this around
into different spots.

452
00:16:04,864 --> 00:16:07,600
I mean you could actually ride
this up onto a sidewalk.

453
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:10,002
CATHE: Exactly.
MIKE: You know, and pull a car

454
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:11,637
away from the curb.

455
00:16:11,737 --> 00:16:12,972
You could do anything
you wanted with it.

456
00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:14,574
I mean, this was
a workhorse vehicle.

457
00:16:14,674 --> 00:16:17,877
CATHE: It's very special.
It's a family heirloom.

458
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,445
MIKE: It's incredible
that you guys have kept it

459
00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:21,280
all these years
in the condition that it's in.

460
00:16:21,447 --> 00:16:25,184
CATHE: Yeah. It's been under
wraps since the late '60s.

461
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:27,753
CATHE: My aunt passed away
in 1988.

462
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,389
That's when we moved it
from Oakland, California

463
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:32,024
up to Sacramento.

464
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:34,794
We didn't advertise it.
We didn't share it.

465
00:16:34,894 --> 00:16:38,231
So maybe a handful of people
even knew we had this bike.

466
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:39,899
MIKE: So, when's the last
time it ran, then?

467
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:42,969
CATHE: In 1988 when we brought
it up from the Bay Area.

468
00:16:43,069 --> 00:16:44,704
MIKE: I mean, it's incredible.

469
00:16:44,871 --> 00:16:46,038
Somebody has changed
the front tire.

470
00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:48,841
That's a Coker tire.
CATHE: I believe my dad

471
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:50,943
changed the tire
when we moved it up here.

472
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:53,846
MIKE: Okay.
CATHE: It's time to find

473
00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:57,383
a new home where it can be seen,

474
00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,919
enjoyed, and respected.

475
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:03,189
CATHE: Our hope for this bike
is to find a new life

476
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:06,359
with someone that loves it,
but we want it to stay

477
00:17:06,459 --> 00:17:07,994
the way it is today

478
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,595
and not to have it restored

479
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:11,264
so the memory of it can live on.

480
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:15,167
MIKE: To have anybody deface it
by restoring it would be crazy.

481
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:17,036
And there are people out there
that would do that.

482
00:17:17,203 --> 00:17:19,272
MIKE: This motorcycle
is a crossover piece.

483
00:17:19,438 --> 00:17:21,774
People that collect
antique motorcycles,

484
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:23,276
Harleys, advertising collectors,

485
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:25,211
especially petroliana
collectors,

486
00:17:25,311 --> 00:17:26,512
are gonna love this bike.

487
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:29,081
It's really a piece
that hits on all cylinders

488
00:17:29,248 --> 00:17:31,684
if you're into
transportation history.

489
00:17:31,784 --> 00:17:34,320
(phone chiming)

490
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:36,589
STEVE: 1939 Pujo.
You don't see them every day.

491
00:17:36,756 --> 00:17:38,190
ROB: I can run faster
than that, I think.

492
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,593
STEVE: Oh, I know.
(laughter)

493
00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:42,361
JERSEY JON: Your brother
is blowing my phone up, man.

494
00:17:42,461 --> 00:17:44,030
ROB: Let him stew on it.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, he's...

495
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:46,399
Look, there's five texts
already from him.

496
00:17:46,499 --> 00:17:48,200
ROB: What's up with
the drag racing stuff?

497
00:17:48,367 --> 00:17:50,069
STEVE: Oh, that's the stuff
I built back in the '70s.

498
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:51,904
JERSEY JON: You built this?!
STEVE: Oh, that's all homemade.

499
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:54,440
JERSEY JON: He puts together
these outrageous vehicles.

500
00:17:54,607 --> 00:17:57,209
He's got a v8 engine
in a Harley chassis.

501
00:17:57,310 --> 00:17:59,078
I mean, this guy
is off the hook.

502
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:02,348
STEVE: That Chevy-Davidson
was built out of a 1970

503
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:05,084
Camarro motor.
It's a 350-horse motor.

504
00:18:05,184 --> 00:18:06,519
It's kind of from E.J. Potter.

505
00:18:06,619 --> 00:18:07,553
JERSEY JON: Yeah,
the Michigan Madman!

506
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:08,721
ROB: Yeah.
STEVE: Yep. He had one

507
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:10,556
and I kind of wanted to copy
his thing,

508
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:12,625
but I did mine in the '70s.
He did his way before me.

509
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:13,926
JERSEY JON: Yeah.

510
00:18:19,865 --> 00:18:22,234
ROB: So, my brother bought
two of the E.J. Potter bikes

511
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:23,436
STEVE: Oh, he did?

512
00:18:23,536 --> 00:18:25,438
ROB: Yeah, and they're both
in a museum in Utah now.

513
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:26,839
STEVE: Oh, man.
JERSEY JON: Isn't that cool?

514
00:18:27,006 --> 00:18:28,074
STEVE: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

515
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,809
STEVE: E.J. Potter, he just
kicked his off a kickstand.

516
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:32,244
He didn't have a clutch.
He'd just hold it wide open

517
00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:33,913
and took off smoking the tire.

518
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,548
STEVE: That Chevy-Davidson
drove so nice,

519
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:37,049
I made a street bike
out of that.

520
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:38,417
(laughter)

521
00:18:38,584 --> 00:18:40,152
STEVE: I did mine different.
I put a clutch

522
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:41,721
and four-speed trans on mine,

523
00:18:41,821 --> 00:18:43,022
so you could drive it
on the street.

524
00:18:43,189 --> 00:18:44,724
JERSEY JON: This is a badass
street bike, dude.

525
00:18:44,824 --> 00:18:46,392
JERSEY JON: Imagine going down
the road with this thing?

526
00:18:46,492 --> 00:18:48,060
STEVE: 350 horsepower.
JERSEY JON: Unbelievable!

527
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:50,162
STEVE: Yeah.
ROB: This guy's a craftsman.

528
00:18:50,262 --> 00:18:53,032
I mean, he is going
over the top on this stuff.

529
00:18:53,199 --> 00:18:54,233
STEVE: Let me show you
some more.

530
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,401
JERSEY JON: Yeah,
I'd love to see it. Woo!

531
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,876
MIKE: So, this has a Model A
rear end in it.

532
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:05,478
So, it's got the rear end
out of a car

533
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:06,879
from that time period, the '30s,

534
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:08,848
and they've cut it down.
So, it was like this wide

535
00:19:08,948 --> 00:19:10,850
for a car. They've cut it
down this narrow.

536
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:12,718
MIKE: Being an antique
motorcycle collector

537
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:16,022
and really dissecting the way
this bike was put together,

538
00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:18,190
I feel like I'm getting
to know her uncle.

539
00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:21,394
The craftsmanship, why he chose
the pieces and parts

540
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:24,096
that he did, it's brilliant.
It's a masterpiece.

541
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:25,865
Obviously, it was utilitarian.

542
00:19:26,032 --> 00:19:28,534
It was something that serviced
his business.

543
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:31,237
But man, looking at it
so many years later,

544
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:32,405
it's a piece of art.

545
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,240
MIKE: God, it's so clean.
(honking)

546
00:19:34,407 --> 00:19:37,877
CATHE: That's my sister.
MIKE: Hey. Nice car.

547
00:19:37,977 --> 00:19:39,078
LINDA: Thank you.

548
00:19:39,245 --> 00:19:40,279
CATHE: Did you bring
all the goodies?

549
00:19:40,379 --> 00:19:41,647
LINDA: Where should we start?

550
00:19:41,747 --> 00:19:43,282
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
LINDA: Hi, I'm Linda.

551
00:19:43,382 --> 00:19:45,351
MIKE: So, all of this
is connected to the gas station?

552
00:19:45,518 --> 00:19:47,620
LINDA: Oh yeah,
all of this was for Fernando.

553
00:19:47,787 --> 00:19:49,288
CATHE: She's done a lot
of the research,

554
00:19:49,388 --> 00:19:53,192
and it was actually stored
at her garage for many years.

555
00:19:53,292 --> 00:19:56,662
So, she's got a really
deep connection to it.

556
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:58,030
MIKE: So, what does this say?

557
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,832
LINDA: Oh, that was
the Mobil banner.

558
00:19:59,999 --> 00:20:01,033
That's one of them.

559
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:02,802
MIKE: Okay.
Wow, this is really cool.

560
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:05,905
LINDA: In 1928,
Guidi Motor Service

561
00:20:06,072 --> 00:20:08,607
existed in Oakland, California.

562
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:12,011
At the time,
it was a Gilmore station.

563
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:15,481
Eventually it transitioned
to a Mobil station.

564
00:20:15,648 --> 00:20:17,983
LINDA: Now, this goes back
to the Gilmore days.

565
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:20,086
MIKE: Oh, they had a different
brand other than Mobil.

566
00:20:20,186 --> 00:20:22,555
LINDA: Yeah. He was a Gilmore.
MIKE: Oh yeah!

567
00:20:22,722 --> 00:20:23,856
LINDA: See?
MIKE: Oh man!

568
00:20:24,023 --> 00:20:26,992
LINDA: Go with the roar?
MIKE: Oh my gosh, look at that.

569
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,160
LINDA: Uh-huh.

570
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:29,628
MIKE: It was a southern
California brand.

571
00:20:29,795 --> 00:20:31,997
Gilmore started
in the early 1900s

572
00:20:32,098 --> 00:20:33,966
and ran until 1943

573
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:37,002
when Mobil bought
Gilmore Oil Company.

574
00:20:37,103 --> 00:20:39,438
There's a tremendous amount
of Mobil stuff around,

575
00:20:39,605 --> 00:20:41,507
but very little Gilmore.

576
00:20:41,674 --> 00:20:45,744
Anything Gilmore,
the glass globes, the signage,

577
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:49,215
all that stuff is so rare,
and it's big money.

578
00:20:49,315 --> 00:20:51,717
MIKE: So, do you guys remember
the service station being open?

579
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:53,552
CATHE: No, that was
before our time.

580
00:20:53,719 --> 00:20:54,687
MIKE: Okay.

581
00:20:54,787 --> 00:20:56,555
LINDA: In the '50s, I believe,

582
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:59,458
is when it ceased to exist.

583
00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:01,193
That's... that's all I know.

584
00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:02,962
MIKE: I love these.

585
00:21:03,062 --> 00:21:05,831
MIKE: The photographs
are so important

586
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,967
to piecing this story together.

587
00:21:08,033 --> 00:21:09,969
MIKE: The top of this fender,

588
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:13,038
the top of the front fender
was a cream color at one time

589
00:21:13,139 --> 00:21:15,040
and then there was a lion here,

590
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,510
the Gilmore lion was there
where the Pegasus is now.

591
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:20,212
LINDA: Okay.
MIKE: It said Gilmore here,

592
00:21:20,312 --> 00:21:22,014
but they changed this
to their address.

593
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:23,949
This said Gilmore
and then lubrication there,

594
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,784
and then obviously,
there was a line here.

595
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:28,954
So they rebranded the whole
vehicle at one time.

596
00:21:29,054 --> 00:21:30,589
MIKE: There was a lion
painted on the tank.

597
00:21:30,756 --> 00:21:33,159
It said Gilmore
on the fender skirts.

598
00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:36,796
But when Mobil took over
Gilmore in like 1943,

599
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:38,030
they painted over the lion

600
00:21:38,197 --> 00:21:39,765
and put a Pegasus
horse on there.

601
00:21:39,865 --> 00:21:40,699
MIKE: You can see right here,

602
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:42,268
see on the top
of the fender is white?

603
00:21:42,434 --> 00:21:44,303
LINDA: Yeah, yeah.
MIKE: And look,
there's no horn either.

604
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:46,672
LINDA: Okay, yeah.
MIKE: There's no horn on it.

605
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:48,974
So they added the horn
and then they painted it red.

606
00:21:49,074 --> 00:21:50,509
You know, it's just
interesting to me.

607
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:52,077
LINDA: It evolved.
MIKE: To see the evolution

608
00:21:52,178 --> 00:21:55,281
of it, yeah,
with their business.
'Cause these are shot in 1940.

609
00:21:55,447 --> 00:21:57,082
LINDA: Right.
MIKE: Which is, I mean,

610
00:21:57,183 --> 00:21:59,318
unbelievable.
I'm just wondering

611
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,086
where they got a taxidermy lion!

612
00:22:01,187 --> 00:22:03,622
(laughing)
Look at this one photo.

613
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:05,958
LINDA: It was the Bay Area.
MIKE: I mean, it's like
literally sitting.

614
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:07,626
LINDA: I know!
MIKE: It's just unbelievable.

615
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:09,128
LINDA: Yeah.
MIKE: These photos aren't just

616
00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:12,064
somebody snapping them
with a Brownie camera.

617
00:22:12,231 --> 00:22:13,432
I mean,
they're professionally shot,

618
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:16,001
they're like studio photos.
They're beautiful.

619
00:22:16,101 --> 00:22:17,636
They're really detailed.

620
00:22:17,736 --> 00:22:20,272
They really tell the story
of this motorcycle

621
00:22:20,439 --> 00:22:23,242
and this business,
and how they're tied together.

622
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,276
LINDA: Now, there's a patch

623
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:25,744
that would've been
from the Mobil.

624
00:22:25,911 --> 00:22:27,146
MIKE: Okay.
LINDA: There's a metal

625
00:22:27,313 --> 00:22:29,348
piece of Gilmore.
MIKE: That's a license plate
topper.

626
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:31,483
These are bookends.
Oh my gosh.

627
00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:34,086
They're just so majestic.
LINDA: A fountain pen.

628
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:37,223
MIKE: Fernando Guidi.
"In recognition of over 15 years

629
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:39,592
friendly business relationship."

630
00:22:39,692 --> 00:22:41,760
MIKE: The bookends,
the pen holder,

631
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:44,830
all these bits and pieces
add to an incredible story.

632
00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:46,398
MIKE: This is your aunt
and your uncle here.

633
00:22:46,498 --> 00:22:48,033
LINDA: Yeah.
And there he is, see?

634
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,401
MIKE: Chopping wood.
LINDA: Uh-huh.

635
00:22:49,568 --> 00:22:51,670
He was a hardworking man.
MIKE: Oh my God, absolutely.

636
00:22:51,837 --> 00:22:53,505
LINDA: That was their house
in Oakland.

637
00:22:53,672 --> 00:22:55,641
There you go,
that's at the Columbo Club,

638
00:22:55,808 --> 00:22:57,276
which was
an Italian organization.

639
00:22:57,443 --> 00:22:58,744
MIKE: Yeah.
LINDA: My Aunt Annette

640
00:22:58,911 --> 00:23:00,279
and Fernando, right there.
MIKE: Okay.

641
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:03,082
LINDA: Fernando was born in 1901

642
00:23:03,182 --> 00:23:06,752
and he arrived
in the United States from Italy

643
00:23:06,852 --> 00:23:10,990
in 1905 with his mother
and siblings on a ship.

644
00:23:11,090 --> 00:23:14,326
They joined the father
of the family in Oakland,

645
00:23:14,426 --> 00:23:17,663
and the father worked
as a blacksmith at the time.

646
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:19,832
LINDA: Oh! The original
license plate.

647
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:23,002
MIKE: Oh, '56. Okay.
That's very cool.

648
00:23:23,168 --> 00:23:24,803
LINDA: Yeah. My Aunt Annette,

649
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:26,605
she would register it
every year.

650
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:28,207
MIKE: No kidding?
She kept it registered?

651
00:23:28,307 --> 00:23:29,842
LINDA: Yep. Yep.
MIKE: Wow.

652
00:23:30,009 --> 00:23:33,045
LINDA: At that time, it was sort
of passe in our family

653
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:35,681
and was in their basement,
covered over,

654
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:39,618
and he was a very, very quiet,
soft-spoken man.

655
00:23:39,785 --> 00:23:42,821
Didn't like to brag
or talk about himself.

656
00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:47,393
And so, it sort of went
unnoticed for a long time.

657
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:49,995
MIKE: This is registered 1990.
LINDA: Mm-hmm, yeah.

658
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,597
MIKE: Why do you think
it was important for her

659
00:23:51,697 --> 00:23:52,898
to register it every year?

660
00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:54,300
LINDA: Because it meant
something to her.

661
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:56,835
They married in '63.
He died in '82.

662
00:23:57,002 --> 00:23:59,471
LINDA: My aunt passed away
in 1988,

663
00:23:59,638 --> 00:24:01,006
and at that point,

664
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:04,009
Cathe and I inherited
her belongings.

665
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:05,678
LINDA: I found in her,

666
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:08,447
she had pictures of him
in her wallet.

667
00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:11,784
So, I mean, they...
CATHE: It was a second marriage

668
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:13,485
for both of them. No children.

669
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:16,021
MIKE: Mm-hmm. Neither of them
ever had children?

670
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:18,590
CATHE: No.
MIKE: The station is gone,

671
00:24:18,691 --> 00:24:20,159
their uncle is gone.

672
00:24:20,259 --> 00:24:22,394
All that remains
is this motorcycle,

673
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:25,631
and they don't want
that story to end here.

674
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:33,439
ROB: Steve.
JERSEY JON: This is cool.
What is that?

675
00:24:33,539 --> 00:24:35,240
ROB: That's a dodgem.

676
00:24:35,407 --> 00:24:36,976
STEVE: Yep.
That's a real dodgem.

677
00:24:37,076 --> 00:24:38,677
I got all the trim
and everything. That's cool.

678
00:24:38,777 --> 00:24:40,546
JERSEY JON: What is it, Robbie?
ROB: It's a bumper car.

679
00:24:40,713 --> 00:24:42,114
JERSEY JON: Bumper car?
STEVE: Electric car.

680
00:24:42,281 --> 00:24:44,249
ROB: These are the most
art deco ones they ever made.

681
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:45,918
This has all, like,
original paint.

682
00:24:46,018 --> 00:24:47,152
STEVE: Yep.
It is still original.

683
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,620
ROB: How long has it
been sitting there?

684
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:50,556
(exhales)
STEVE: 25 years.

685
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:53,392
ROB: These dodgem cars, we have
bought these things before,

686
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:55,828
but they have to be complete.

687
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:58,430
When they're complete,
they're the most magnificent

688
00:24:58,597 --> 00:25:00,866
piece of artwork
you've ever seen.

689
00:25:01,033 --> 00:25:03,168
ROB: So, is that something
you want to sell?

690
00:25:03,268 --> 00:25:04,837
STEVE: I might take
offers on it.

691
00:25:05,004 --> 00:25:06,105
ROB: All the trim is where?

692
00:25:06,271 --> 00:25:07,840
STEVE: Yep, inside that box
right there.

693
00:25:09,208 --> 00:25:11,243
There's no drivetrain
to it at all.

694
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:13,078
ROB: Right, but do you
have the base piece?

695
00:25:13,245 --> 00:25:14,680
STEVE: Nope.
ROB: Yeah, because basically

696
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,014
what they're doing
out in California,

697
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:17,282
they're turning these
into street machines.

698
00:25:17,416 --> 00:25:18,751
STEVE: Yeah,
they're really cool.

699
00:25:18,917 --> 00:25:20,219
JERSEY JON: Seriously?
STEVE: Some guys will take them

700
00:25:20,386 --> 00:25:22,688
and put go-kart motors in them
or motorcycles in them.

701
00:25:22,788 --> 00:25:24,757
They make them street legal
and they look really cool.

702
00:25:24,857 --> 00:25:26,392
They flame them all out
and make them look like

703
00:25:26,492 --> 00:25:28,627
some old car. And so,
I thought I'll do that

704
00:25:28,794 --> 00:25:30,129
with one of them,
but I never did.

705
00:25:30,229 --> 00:25:32,831
ROB: Let me ask you this
before I go digging it out.

706
00:25:32,998 --> 00:25:35,467
STEVE: Alright.
ROB: If you have
all the pieces to it?

707
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:36,668
STEVE: Yep.

708
00:25:37,903 --> 00:25:39,438
He's thinking.

709
00:25:39,605 --> 00:25:41,407
ROB: $1,300.

710
00:25:44,476 --> 00:25:46,111
STEVE: I think you got it.
ROB: I want to know

711
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:47,346
if all the stuff's there,
though.

712
00:25:47,513 --> 00:25:48,514
JERSEY JON: If the stuff's
all there.

713
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,149
JERSEY JON: See, we gotta
dig it out of there.

714
00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:51,383
STEVE: Grab that
plane out there.

715
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:52,951
ROB: Steve said
this thing's complete.

716
00:25:53,052 --> 00:25:55,421
Before I commit 100%,

717
00:25:55,587 --> 00:25:57,790
I gotta know if
all the parts are here.

718
00:25:57,890 --> 00:25:59,458
ROB: Okay. Hold on.

719
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,660
ROB: I'm going to put this
on a golf cart body.

720
00:26:01,827 --> 00:26:02,995
ROB: It says Dodgem right here.

721
00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:05,230
ROB: Or what I call
a side-by-side.

722
00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:06,832
That's what they're doing
with these things.

723
00:26:06,932 --> 00:26:07,966
ROB: Here's a seat.

724
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,401
ROB: Basically, build it out

725
00:26:09,501 --> 00:26:11,370
so it looks like a bumper car,

726
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:12,838
but it's street legal.

727
00:26:13,005 --> 00:26:14,072
ROB: I love the paint on it.

728
00:26:14,239 --> 00:26:15,641
JERSEY JON: The paint
is freaking killer, man.

729
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:17,443
STEVE: I got this. There you go.

730
00:26:17,543 --> 00:26:18,811
JERSEY JON: This is the seat?
The back?

731
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:20,646
ROB: Hold on here.

732
00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:23,015
That looks like it might've
gone to that somewhere.

733
00:26:23,115 --> 00:26:25,484
That's an inside piece.
STEVE: Yep, that's an inside
piece to match it.

734
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,019
ROB: That's a steering
mechanism.

735
00:26:27,186 --> 00:26:28,954
ROB: Those are the side plates.
JERSEY JON: That's cool.

736
00:26:29,121 --> 00:26:30,522
ROB: You got a steering wheel.

737
00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:32,524
ROB: I got to dig out
all the pieces.

738
00:26:32,624 --> 00:26:34,326
Steve keeps saying
it's all here.

739
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:36,595
I'm not seeing it, buddy.
I'm just not seeing it.

740
00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:44,336
ROB: It says Dodgem right here.

741
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,572
The most I've ever sold
one of these cars for

742
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:48,841
was probably like 3,500 bucks.

743
00:26:49,007 --> 00:26:50,375
But that's with all the...
STEVE: All the stuff.

744
00:26:50,476 --> 00:26:52,277
ROB: The jewelry on it.
That's what I'm trying
to say here.

745
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:53,879
The trim is the key
to this thing.

746
00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:55,147
STEVE: Yeah.
ROB: There's your front.

747
00:26:55,314 --> 00:26:57,082
If you're missing
the trim pieces, it's like...

748
00:26:57,182 --> 00:26:59,418
STEVE: Well, if you're trying
to put it back all original,

749
00:26:59,585 --> 00:27:01,620
you need all that trim.
But if you just want to make it

750
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:03,322
look cool,
you can make your own.

751
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:05,457
ROB: There's one. There's two.

752
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:07,559
ROB: They had aluminum
art deco headlights.

753
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:08,961
The grill, the lights,

754
00:27:09,061 --> 00:27:10,963
the little pieces,
the stainless.

755
00:27:11,063 --> 00:27:12,197
ROB: This is one light.
STEVE: Right.

756
00:27:12,297 --> 00:27:13,999
ROB: Now, the other light's
missing on this side.

757
00:27:14,099 --> 00:27:16,001
JERSEY JON: Right.
ROB: And then this emblem

758
00:27:16,168 --> 00:27:17,136
that goes right here...

759
00:27:17,236 --> 00:27:19,771
ROB: All these things
make a big difference,

760
00:27:19,872 --> 00:27:21,240
because you're not going
to find it,

761
00:27:21,340 --> 00:27:23,242
and if you don't find it,
you gotta make it.

762
00:27:23,342 --> 00:27:26,278
ROB: We got the seat, the body,
and the partial on the trim.

763
00:27:26,445 --> 00:27:28,714
ROB: I'm not Steve. I'm Robbie.

764
00:27:28,881 --> 00:27:30,349
I can't make that (bleep).

765
00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:33,218
ROB: I was at 1,300
if it was complete.

766
00:27:33,385 --> 00:27:35,621
STEVE: Right.
ROB: Yeah. So...

767
00:27:36,822 --> 00:27:38,023
(exhales)

768
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,392
ROB: I'm only finding about
30% of the car here.

769
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,628
There's no way I can pay $1,300.

770
00:27:42,794 --> 00:27:44,396
JERSEY JON: Missing a lot.
STEVE: Yeah.

771
00:27:47,399 --> 00:27:48,700
ROB: 400 bucks.

772
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:51,003
STEVE: Hmm...

773
00:27:52,237 --> 00:27:54,072
ROB: It's missing a ton.
STEVE: I know it is.

774
00:27:55,274 --> 00:27:56,975
JERSEY JON: Yeah, his mustache
is twitching, dude.

775
00:27:57,075 --> 00:27:59,611
STEVE: Yeah.
(Jersey Jon laughs)

776
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:01,947
ROB: It's got some pluses to it
but it's got more minuses

777
00:28:02,114 --> 00:28:03,649
than it does pluses.

778
00:28:03,749 --> 00:28:05,751
STEVE: That's been sitting there
for years. I said hell,

779
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:08,086
nobody else is ever
going to want that thing.

780
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:09,555
STEVE: How about five?

781
00:28:14,293 --> 00:28:15,727
ROB: How about
four and a quarter?

782
00:28:17,362 --> 00:28:20,232
STEVE: Aw man. 450.

783
00:28:26,405 --> 00:28:28,674
ROB: I took it, I dug it out.
I'm not gonna leave you hanging.

784
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,309
JERSEY JON: I like it, Robbie.
ROB: Yeah.

785
00:28:31,643 --> 00:28:34,680
MIKE: This story is a large
investment with anything.

786
00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:36,715
I don't care if you're
collecting antique toys,

787
00:28:36,882 --> 00:28:39,718
furniture, an oil painting,
whatever it is,

788
00:28:39,818 --> 00:28:43,155
a story is just as powerful
as the piece itself.

789
00:28:43,255 --> 00:28:47,659
So, to me,
the story is unbelievable

790
00:28:47,826 --> 00:28:49,661
just looking at it,
because it's so untouched.

791
00:28:49,828 --> 00:28:52,431
All the generations
and the decades

792
00:28:52,531 --> 00:28:54,766
and everything
that happened in the world,

793
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:56,768
this vehicle
was never affected by that.

794
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,104
LINDA: That's right.
MIKE: You guys have embraced it
for that long.

795
00:28:59,271 --> 00:29:00,872
LINDA: Absolutely.
MIKE: To where you didn't
want to touch it.

796
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:02,274
I think that's unbelievable.
And you've got

797
00:29:02,441 --> 00:29:04,643
great documentation,
you've got photographs.

798
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:06,478
I mean, I'm totally
interested in it.

799
00:29:06,645 --> 00:29:08,213
MIKE: The reason
that it's untouched

800
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:11,216
is because they wanted
to honor their uncle.

801
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:14,753
They wanted to leave the bike
exactly the way they left it.

802
00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:16,188
And now they've gotten
to a point

803
00:29:16,355 --> 00:29:18,957
where they want people
to see it and just be like,

804
00:29:19,057 --> 00:29:21,360
wow, inspired.
I'm inspired by the bike.

805
00:29:21,460 --> 00:29:24,663
I look at it and I think
about a guy just starting out

806
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:27,432
and making something
from nothing.

807
00:29:27,532 --> 00:29:30,936
He had to make something that
was going to serve his business

808
00:29:31,036 --> 00:29:33,605
and serve the community,
and he did such a great job

809
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:35,507
that it's lasted
all of these years.

810
00:29:35,674 --> 00:29:37,643
MIKE: Has anybody ever made you
guys an offer or anything?

811
00:29:37,809 --> 00:29:40,045
CATHE: Um, not an offer.

812
00:29:40,145 --> 00:29:42,648
I have good friends
that are in the antique business

813
00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:45,751
and um, they did some
research for me.

814
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:47,552
MIKE: Okay.
CATHE: And...

815
00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:49,888
I got some numbers together.

816
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:51,556
MIKE: I mean, what did
they feel it was worth

817
00:29:51,657 --> 00:29:52,791
in this condition like this?

818
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:56,595
CATHE: Anywhere from 40 to 144.
is what they were...

819
00:29:57,829 --> 00:29:59,798
MIKE: Okay.
LINDA: Because how do you put
a price on this?

820
00:29:59,898 --> 00:30:01,066
There's nothing else like it.

821
00:30:01,233 --> 00:30:03,001
MIKE: Well...
You can put a price on it by

822
00:30:03,168 --> 00:30:05,437
auction results,
you can put a price on it

823
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,807
by something from
the same time period.

824
00:30:08,907 --> 00:30:13,612
Someone that like,
would say this is worth $140,000

825
00:30:13,712 --> 00:30:16,081
makes me think
that they really don't know

826
00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:17,949
exactly what they're looking at,

827
00:30:18,116 --> 00:30:20,152
because that is a huge margin.

828
00:30:20,252 --> 00:30:22,721
There was one similar to this
in regards to like,

829
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:25,724
advertising wise
that was Packard cars

830
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:28,460
that just sold within
the last couple years.

831
00:30:28,627 --> 00:30:30,929
So, imagine like
a Harley Servi-Car,

832
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:34,066
original paint with Packard Cars
advertising Packard.

833
00:30:34,232 --> 00:30:35,634
LINDA: Got you.
MIKE: Okay, that sold

834
00:30:35,734 --> 00:30:38,070
at auction for...

835
00:30:38,236 --> 00:30:39,504
$45,000.

836
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:43,041
CATHE: Okay.
MIKE: And that's, to me,

837
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:45,010
the reality of it,
you know what I mean?

838
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:46,812
When you advertise big auction

839
00:30:46,912 --> 00:30:48,547
and put something in it,
then it's out in front

840
00:30:48,714 --> 00:30:49,815
of God and everybody.
LINDA: Right.

841
00:30:49,915 --> 00:30:51,450
MIKE: That's what
the hammer price was.

842
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:52,751
LINDA: Right. Got you.

843
00:30:52,951 --> 00:30:55,354
MIKE: This is even a little bit
hard for me to put a value on it

844
00:30:55,454 --> 00:30:56,755
because this is all homemade.

845
00:30:56,922 --> 00:30:59,257
But I've been around
the antique motorcycle world

846
00:30:59,424 --> 00:31:00,926
for 40 years,

847
00:31:01,026 --> 00:31:02,994
and I understand what
a Harley JD is,

848
00:31:03,161 --> 00:31:05,864
I understand
what a VL frontend is,

849
00:31:06,031 --> 00:31:07,666
I understand what
an Indian headlight is,

850
00:31:07,833 --> 00:31:10,569
and I understand what he had
to do to make this bike.

851
00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:15,207
It's custom. To me,
the story is the powerful thing

852
00:31:15,307 --> 00:31:18,243
that moves this.
How do you put a price on that?

853
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:20,078
How do you put a price
on a piece of art

854
00:31:20,178 --> 00:31:22,080
when so many different people
can look at it

855
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:23,682
in so many different ways?

856
00:31:23,849 --> 00:31:25,083
MIKE: I think the way it sits,

857
00:31:25,283 --> 00:31:28,386
like this, it's a...

858
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,155
$40,000 vehicle.

859
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,991
I mean, maybe at an auction,
might pull 45.

860
00:31:33,158 --> 00:31:35,193
LINDA: See, you're looking
at it from, you know,

861
00:31:35,293 --> 00:31:37,462
the mechanical kind of...

862
00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:39,097
And I'm looking at it
from the heart.

863
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:41,500
MIKE: Yeah.
LINDA: Because it represents
Fernando.

864
00:31:41,666 --> 00:31:43,201
MIKE: Absolutely.
LINDA: To me, it's a part

865
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:46,404
of my aunt and uncle. And uh...

866
00:31:47,672 --> 00:31:49,508
they're gone now and I just...

867
00:31:50,809 --> 00:31:53,512
I know how much it obviously
meant to both of them,

868
00:31:53,678 --> 00:31:56,081
and it just... I, um...

869
00:31:57,749 --> 00:32:02,120
I appreciate that. And I want
to keep them close

870
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:04,990
and cherish it
as much as they did.

871
00:32:05,157 --> 00:32:06,858
MIKE: I know it's important
for you guys

872
00:32:07,025 --> 00:32:09,594
to have someone
that'll take care of it

873
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:11,229
the way your family has,

874
00:32:11,396 --> 00:32:13,465
but also I think it's important
that people see it.

875
00:32:13,632 --> 00:32:15,801
I'm imagining it being
back on the road.

876
00:32:15,901 --> 00:32:17,002
LINDA: Well,
that would be amazing.

877
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:18,470
MIKE: I mean, truly.
Well, that's doable.

878
00:32:18,637 --> 00:32:21,206
It's very straight.
I mean, let's see...

879
00:32:21,306 --> 00:32:23,041
Listen to the compression
of the thing.

880
00:32:23,208 --> 00:32:24,509
(clunking)

881
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:26,144
And I checked the inside
of the tanks.

882
00:32:26,311 --> 00:32:28,146
LINDA: Mm-hmm.
MIKE: You know, it's been
stored properly.

883
00:32:28,313 --> 00:32:30,715
LINDA: Good.
MIKE: There's been no fluid.
It's beautiful.

884
00:32:30,882 --> 00:32:33,718
MIKE: I love everything
about it. I mean, really,

885
00:32:33,819 --> 00:32:35,954
it speaks to me
on so many different levels.

886
00:32:36,054 --> 00:32:38,390
Um, you know, I ride stuff
like this,

887
00:32:38,557 --> 00:32:40,325
and then with me,
with my sidecar bike,

888
00:32:40,425 --> 00:32:42,194
people are amazed
when I put it in reverse

889
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:43,995
and I just back up on it.
They're just like,

890
00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:45,964
"What the heck is that?"
They've never seen a motorcycle

891
00:32:46,064 --> 00:32:47,432
go backwards before, you know?

892
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:50,268
So, it's got all that
going for it.

893
00:32:56,241 --> 00:32:57,442
MIKE: Um...

894
00:32:57,609 --> 00:32:59,644
Here's where I'm at with it.

895
00:32:59,744 --> 00:33:02,447
I think it's worth...

896
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:06,952
between 40 and $45,000.

897
00:33:07,052 --> 00:33:08,753
That's what I think it's worth.

898
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,355
Um...

899
00:33:11,456 --> 00:33:13,191
I'd do like 35 on it.

900
00:33:23,068 --> 00:33:25,604
STEVE: Let me show you this
homemade car I built over here.

901
00:33:25,704 --> 00:33:27,172
JERSEY JON: Homemade?
ROB: Homemade car?

902
00:33:27,272 --> 00:33:29,107
STEVE: '53 Corvette
is what I copied.

903
00:33:29,274 --> 00:33:30,575
ROB: What do you mean
you copied it?

904
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:32,210
JERSEY JON: Whoa, man!
Look at this thing.

905
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:33,812
STEVE: I always wanted
an old Corvette like that

906
00:33:33,912 --> 00:33:35,280
but they're so pricy
I can't afford them,

907
00:33:35,447 --> 00:33:36,882
so I decided
to just build my own.

908
00:33:36,982 --> 00:33:38,550
STEVE: 17 months
I spent on this.

909
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:39,951
ROB: So, where's
the mold to this?

910
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:42,153
STEVE: There ain't a mold.
This is shot with a glass gun.

911
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,421
Like you build a boat.

912
00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:44,756
ROB: I cannot believe
that Steve built this.

913
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:46,825
The body is all
built by hand.

914
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:48,793
He had to shave it down.

915
00:33:48,894 --> 00:33:52,130
It is absolutely 100% perfect.

916
00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:53,465
There is not a flaw
in it anywhere.

917
00:33:53,632 --> 00:33:55,433
JERSEY JON: The Coevette.
ROB: Yeah, Coevette.

918
00:33:55,534 --> 00:33:56,735
JERSEY JON: Love it.
STEVE: The only one.

919
00:33:56,835 --> 00:33:58,603
JERSEY JON: How many horsepower?
STEVE: Probably close to 1,000.

920
00:33:58,770 --> 00:33:59,838
ROB: Whoa.
JERSEY JON: Jeez!

921
00:34:00,005 --> 00:34:01,373
STEVE: Gotta hear this thing.
Want to hear it?

922
00:34:01,473 --> 00:34:02,641
JERSEY JON: Yeah!
You can start it up?

923
00:34:02,807 --> 00:34:04,042
(engine roars)

924
00:34:04,142 --> 00:34:07,913
ROB: When he started it,
it scared the crap out of me!

925
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:09,915
I mean, no one thought
that sound

926
00:34:10,081 --> 00:34:11,283
was gonna come out
of that thing.

927
00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:13,084
Oh, I was like, "Whoa!"
I jumped

928
00:34:13,184 --> 00:34:15,554
because you don't think
you're going to hear that.

929
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:17,756
And the fact that
he made it street legal.

930
00:34:17,856 --> 00:34:19,024
(revving)

931
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:22,794
JERSEY JON: Woo! This is crazy.

932
00:34:22,961 --> 00:34:24,796
(laughing)
STEVE: Yeah, but I still
got some more here.

933
00:34:24,896 --> 00:34:27,165
I got another bike
I just built here last year.

934
00:34:29,668 --> 00:34:34,172
MIKE: I think it's worth
between 40 and $45,000.

935
00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:37,008
I'd do like 35 on it.

936
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:40,812
Because... you're gonna
want it to run.

937
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:44,049
Whoever's gonna want to buy it
and slam down the cash on it,

938
00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:46,484
value-wise, running has a lot
to do with it.

939
00:34:46,584 --> 00:34:48,353
That's not a huge expense

940
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,189
unless you run into something
that's...

941
00:34:51,356 --> 00:34:53,091
that's an issue.

942
00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:54,826
But I mean,
from what I can see,

943
00:34:54,993 --> 00:34:56,161
I don't see anything.

944
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:59,664
I mean, obviously, I can't,
I don't have a crystal ball.

945
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:01,299
LINDA: Being in California,
you're not going to have

946
00:35:01,466 --> 00:35:03,668
all that rust and degeneration.

947
00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:05,537
MIKE: No, it's the condition
of it when I was crawling

948
00:35:05,637 --> 00:35:07,372
underneath it, I mean,
there's not even any dirt

949
00:35:07,472 --> 00:35:09,040
underneath the fender wells.
(Linda laughs)

950
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:10,442
CATHE: Yeah, I believe that.
MIKE: Yeah.

951
00:35:10,608 --> 00:35:12,243
CATHE: He was so tidy.
LINDA: He was impeccable.

952
00:35:12,344 --> 00:35:14,312
MIKE: And here's the deal.
It's like, if this worth

953
00:35:14,479 --> 00:35:17,882
$100,000, I would tell you
in a second. In a second.

954
00:35:20,552 --> 00:35:21,786
LINDA: It's just special.

955
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:22,988
LINDA: It's a work of art.

956
00:35:23,154 --> 00:35:25,290
It's not just, you know,
a motorcycle.

957
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:27,659
LINDA: How do you put
a price on Mona Lisa,

958
00:35:27,826 --> 00:35:30,395
or the Birth of Venus,
you know? I mean...

959
00:35:30,495 --> 00:35:33,198
LINDA: I know what kind
of person Fernando was,

960
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:36,868
and I know that that probably
was his baby.

961
00:35:37,035 --> 00:35:40,572
I mean, he had no children
of his own and so,

962
00:35:40,672 --> 00:35:43,241
you know, he gave everything
he had to that.

963
00:35:43,341 --> 00:35:45,377
MIKE: There's no one
that's ever going to be

964
00:35:45,477 --> 00:35:47,746
as close to this vehicle
as you guys.

965
00:35:47,912 --> 00:35:49,414
This is part
of your family's heritage.

966
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:51,016
LINDA: But it is one-of-a-kind.

967
00:35:51,116 --> 00:35:53,251
MIKE: There's a lot of things
that are one-of-a-kind.

968
00:35:53,351 --> 00:35:57,522
LINDA: Okay, but...
MIKE: This is Harley-Davidson,

969
00:35:57,622 --> 00:35:59,758
and that's what takes it
to the next level.

970
00:35:59,858 --> 00:36:01,326
LINDA: I see.
MIKE: The Harley is not

971
00:36:01,426 --> 00:36:03,028
one-of-a-kind,
but what they did to it is.

972
00:36:03,194 --> 00:36:04,162
LINDA: That's right.

973
00:36:04,262 --> 00:36:05,664
MIKE: I understand
how they're approaching it

974
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:07,499
from a completely
different perspective

975
00:36:07,666 --> 00:36:10,268
because they're emotionally
connected to this piece

976
00:36:10,435 --> 00:36:13,872
that has been in their family
for generations

977
00:36:14,039 --> 00:36:16,875
and it's really the beginnings
of their family

978
00:36:17,042 --> 00:36:19,244
in this country.
I understand all that

979
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:21,079
and I take that to heart.

980
00:36:23,248 --> 00:36:25,550
MIKE: Yeah, you guys, I mean,

981
00:36:25,717 --> 00:36:28,753
I would love to own it,
but um...

982
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:31,356
I mean, it just sounds like
we're way too far apart.

983
00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:34,359
MIKE: I would love to be the guy
that put it back on the road,

984
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:37,395
to tell the story of it,
to move it forward,

985
00:36:37,495 --> 00:36:40,231
but you know,
if we can't come together on it,

986
00:36:40,331 --> 00:36:41,633
then it wasn't meant to be.

987
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:50,241
LINDA: Well, we're glad
that you like this antique,

988
00:36:50,408 --> 00:36:51,409
this piece of art.

989
00:36:51,509 --> 00:36:52,377
MIKE: I understand what it is,

990
00:36:52,477 --> 00:36:53,411
and I do understand

991
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:54,746
what it means to you guys too.

992
00:36:54,913 --> 00:36:57,816
LINDA: Well, you said
you're intention with this

993
00:36:57,916 --> 00:37:00,285
is to get it running.
MIKE: Absolutely.

994
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:01,986
LINDA: Okay.
MIKE: To ride it.

995
00:37:02,153 --> 00:37:03,755
LINDA: To ride it.
CATHE: Why let it just

996
00:37:03,855 --> 00:37:06,925
sit in a storage unit where,

997
00:37:07,025 --> 00:37:09,194
you know, who's looking at it?
Who's enjoying it?

998
00:37:09,294 --> 00:37:12,797
It's not out there. It's not
being loved by everybody.

999
00:37:12,964 --> 00:37:14,232
LINDA: Yeah.
CATHE: You're just gonna

1000
00:37:14,399 --> 00:37:16,401
leave it in storage forever?

1001
00:37:16,501 --> 00:37:19,204
MIKE: Well, what are you guys
thinking numbers-wise?

1002
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:21,573
Both of us have to feel
comfortable with the deal.

1003
00:37:21,673 --> 00:37:23,241
If either of us
feel uncomfortable,

1004
00:37:23,341 --> 00:37:25,009
then there shouldn't be a deal.

1005
00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:29,114
CATHE: I feel comfortable at 45.

1006
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,516
MIKE: 45? The high mark,
the high mark of it?

1007
00:37:33,952 --> 00:37:35,787
LINDA: Yeah, I agree.

1008
00:37:35,954 --> 00:37:38,189
MIKE: The thing that speaks
to me the most about this bike

1009
00:37:38,356 --> 00:37:39,624
is the advertising.

1010
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:41,559
And the fact that they have
the photographs.

1011
00:37:41,659 --> 00:37:44,796
The photographs
are the key ingredient

1012
00:37:44,963 --> 00:37:47,866
to the recipe of why
this is so incredible.

1013
00:37:48,032 --> 00:37:49,801
MIKE: I'll tell you what,
I'd come up five grand.

1014
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:50,935
I'd do 40 on it.

1015
00:37:54,472 --> 00:37:56,174
I mean, I really feel like...

1016
00:37:57,275 --> 00:38:00,245
I'm being honest
in regards to what I feel

1017
00:38:00,411 --> 00:38:02,647
the value is.
You know, I really am.

1018
00:38:05,717 --> 00:38:08,019
MIKE: It's one thing to look
at the bike and admire it

1019
00:38:08,186 --> 00:38:10,955
just like this,
but imagine if the bike ran

1020
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:14,392
and people can enjoy it
whether it's at Motor Alley

1021
00:38:14,559 --> 00:38:16,628
or any kind of museum setting

1022
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:19,430
just so it's somewhere
where people can appreciate it

1023
00:38:19,597 --> 00:38:20,999
and hear its story.

1024
00:38:22,734 --> 00:38:24,836
(sighs)
LINDA: Gosh...

1025
00:38:26,871 --> 00:38:30,241
Well, I've said
my piece, I think.

1026
00:38:31,075 --> 00:38:32,110
CATHE: Yeah.

1027
00:38:33,077 --> 00:38:36,447
CATHE: I felt very comfortable
with Mike,

1028
00:38:36,548 --> 00:38:40,952
and I felt that it was
time to let it go.

1029
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:42,954
MIKE: Are we doing it?
CATHE: We're doing it.

1030
00:38:43,054 --> 00:38:44,722
MIKE: Okay, we're doing it.
CATHE: 40.

1031
00:38:44,822 --> 00:38:46,391
MIKE: We're doing it.

1032
00:38:46,558 --> 00:38:48,159
Okay. Thank you guys.

1033
00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:52,063
MIKE: They know the only way
to keep that story alive

1034
00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:54,232
is to move the bike forward,

1035
00:38:54,399 --> 00:38:55,633
let people talk about it.

1036
00:38:55,733 --> 00:38:57,202
When they see the photograph

1037
00:38:57,368 --> 00:38:58,670
and they see the bike,

1038
00:38:58,836 --> 00:38:59,938
and they see it up and running,

1039
00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:02,640
it's alive, that story is also.

1040
00:39:02,807 --> 00:39:04,909
MIKE: Thanks for sharing
your family's story with me.

1041
00:39:05,076 --> 00:39:07,011
LINDA: The joy that
that motorcycle brings

1042
00:39:07,111 --> 00:39:08,446
to anyone that sees it.

1043
00:39:08,546 --> 00:39:10,248
MIKE: Thank you, guys!
CATHE: Safe travels!

1044
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:12,283
LINDA: That's a nice thing
to be able to share

1045
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:13,918
with the rest of the world.

1046
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:15,553
(honking)

1047
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:20,959
STEVE: Yeah, this is something
I just threw together last year.

1048
00:39:22,393 --> 00:39:23,728
JERSEY JON: Whoa,
look at this thing!

1049
00:39:23,828 --> 00:39:26,331
JERSEY JON: This is
a twin-engine Harley 45

1050
00:39:26,431 --> 00:39:27,465
that Steve just put together.

1051
00:39:27,632 --> 00:39:29,033
JERSEY JON: This is crazy!

1052
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:30,835
STEVE: Stop me,
somebody stop me!

1053
00:39:31,002 --> 00:39:32,837
ROB: I got you, I got you.
STEVE: I need brakes.

1054
00:39:33,004 --> 00:39:34,138
JERSEY JON: This is not
the first time

1055
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,673
that there's been
twin-engine racers,

1056
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,108
but this one's super special.

1057
00:39:37,275 --> 00:39:38,376
ROB: That's two 45.

1058
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:39,878
JERSEY JON: Yeah, two 45 motors.

1059
00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:41,880
STEVE: Yep.
ROB: He put two V twin-engines

1060
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:43,281
in this bike.

1061
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:44,749
STEVE: There's hundreds
of double engine bikes
out there.

1062
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:46,050
JERSEY JON: Right.
ROB: Okay.

1063
00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:47,585
STEVE: They all time them
where these two cylinders fire

1064
00:39:47,752 --> 00:39:49,153
and these two cylinders fire.

1065
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,022
JERSEY JON: So, it goes
boom, boom, boom, boom.

1066
00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:52,690
STEVE: That puts twice as much
pressure on your chain.

1067
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:54,325
You got a primary chain
made for one motor,

1068
00:39:54,425 --> 00:39:55,793
and now you got two,
and it starts snapping

1069
00:39:55,894 --> 00:39:57,428
the chains because you got
two motors banging on it.

1070
00:39:57,595 --> 00:39:58,997
JERSEY JON: So,
how'd you beat that?

1071
00:39:59,163 --> 00:40:01,633
STEVE: I put these motors
180 degrees out from each other.

1072
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:02,967
So, this cylinder fires,

1073
00:40:03,034 --> 00:40:04,802
and before it even has time
to fire this cylinder,

1074
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:06,137
this one fires.
ROB: Okay.

1075
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:08,640
STEVE: So, now it
goes one, three, two, four.

1076
00:40:08,806 --> 00:40:10,041
JERSEY JON: So,
it smoothed it out?

1077
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:11,843
STEVE: I made a four-cylinder
out of two two-cylinders.

1078
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:13,845
JERSEY JON: Damn!
STEVE: A poor man's
four-cylinder.

1079
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:15,413
JERSEY JON: That's brilliant!
(laughs)

1080
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:17,916
ROB: A poor man's four-cylinder.
JERSEY JON: I love it, man.

1081
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:20,251
STEVE: By doing that,
I'm convinced that's why

1082
00:40:20,351 --> 00:40:21,753
this thing starts
in one kick every time.

1083
00:40:21,853 --> 00:40:23,154
STEVE: It's all experimental.

1084
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:26,224
I didn't even know if it'd run
or even drive, nothing.

1085
00:40:26,391 --> 00:40:27,425
(engine starts)

1086
00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:29,394
JERSEY JON: It starts up
on the first kick.

1087
00:40:29,494 --> 00:40:31,562
You can't do that
with a normal 45.

1088
00:40:31,663 --> 00:40:33,598
It blows me away.
That's a cold start.

1089
00:40:33,765 --> 00:40:36,200
(engine revving)

1090
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:38,469
STEVE: It amazes me
every time it does it,
because it's like magic.

1091
00:40:38,636 --> 00:40:40,405
I can't believe it does that,
but it does.

1092
00:40:44,042 --> 00:40:47,712
ROB: The quality of this guy's
work is mind-blowing.

1093
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:51,683
Steve is the epitome
of the cover of Easy Rider.

1094
00:40:53,184 --> 00:40:54,118
JERSEY JON: Steve.
ROB: Dude.

1095
00:40:54,218 --> 00:40:54,919
JERSEY JON: Congratulations,
man.

1096
00:40:55,019 --> 00:40:56,487
JERSEY JON: It sounds wonderful.

1097
00:40:56,587 --> 00:40:58,756
ROB: I love it.
STEVE: I love it.

1098
00:40:58,923 --> 00:41:01,125
(laughs)
JERSEY JON: So, is this
something you would sell?

1099
00:41:01,225 --> 00:41:02,760
STEVE: Not yet. It's a new toy.

1100
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:04,195
JERSEY JON: Buddy,
thank you so much

1101
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:05,797
for letting us tour your world.
ROB: Yeah.

1102
00:41:05,897 --> 00:41:07,231
JERSEY JON: Knowing Steve
all these years,

1103
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:09,100
I've always got to just
see the result

1104
00:41:09,267 --> 00:41:10,935
of what he's created.

1105
00:41:11,035 --> 00:41:12,804
But here,
I get to see the process

1106
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:14,472
and that's super special.

1107
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,441
STEVE: As soon as you guys
leave, I'll be back out there

1108
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:20,445
in the garage doing some more
on that bike. Something I do.

1109
00:41:20,611 --> 00:41:22,080
(honking)
ROB: See you at the races!

1110
00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:25,283
STEVE: Alright, man. You guys
keep the rubber side down.

1111
00:41:26,117 --> 00:41:27,552
(phone rings)

1112
00:41:28,353 --> 00:41:29,687
ROB: Who is it?
JERSEY JON: Your brother.

1113
00:41:29,787 --> 00:41:31,823
ROB: Oh jeez. What up, brother?

1114
00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:33,157
JERSEY JON: What's up?
MIKE: What the hell?!

1115
00:41:33,257 --> 00:41:34,792
I've been trying
to text you guys all day.

1116
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:36,361
ROB: I know that.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1117
00:41:36,461 --> 00:41:37,795
ROB: We were busy.
MIKE: Busy?

1118
00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:40,398
You guys are on a pick
that I sent you on!

1119
00:41:40,565 --> 00:41:42,400
What's up with the knucklehead?

1120
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,335
JERSEY JON: Are you kidding me?
(laughs)

1121
00:41:44,435 --> 00:41:46,070
JERSEY JON: Dude, you can't let
a lead like that

1122
00:41:46,237 --> 00:41:48,206
sit around for six months
and expect it to be there.

1123
00:41:48,306 --> 00:41:49,440
Come on!
ROB: I'll tell you what.

1124
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:52,844
The twin-engine 45
that he just finished.

1125
00:41:52,944 --> 00:41:54,645
JERSEY JON: Yeah, that thing
is bad to the bone.

1126
00:41:54,779 --> 00:41:56,714
ROB: Unbelievable.
MIKE: Wow, that sounds nuts!

1127
00:41:56,881 --> 00:41:58,216
JERSEY JON: Yeah.
ROB: It was crazy.

1128
00:41:58,316 --> 00:42:01,586
MIKE: Well, I just bought
a 1921 Harley-Davidson

1129
00:42:01,753 --> 00:42:03,488
custom made three-wheeler.

1130
00:42:03,588 --> 00:42:07,358
It's basically a Servi-Car
before Servi-Cars.

1131
00:42:07,458 --> 00:42:09,026
ROB: Wow! Are you kidding me?

1132
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:10,962
JERSEY JON: So, it's like
a homemade Servi-Car?

1133
00:42:11,062 --> 00:42:13,398
MIKE: Check your texts, dude!
I sent you pictures!

1134
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:15,967
You're going to freak!
ROB: Hey, brother.

1135
00:42:16,034 --> 00:42:18,002
I got a question for you.
MIKE: Yeah?

1136
00:42:18,169 --> 00:42:20,805
ROB: You got any 12-month-old
leads we can follow up on?

1137
00:42:20,905 --> 00:42:22,874
(laughing)

1138
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,442
MIKE: Whatever.

1139
00:42:25,309 --> 00:42:27,211
ROB: Love you!
JERSEY JON: Alright, bro.
I'll catch you later.

1140
00:42:27,311 --> 00:42:28,446
ROB: See you.
MIKE: Later.
