Harley-Davidson Flathead 101 - Controls and Starting Introduction

Harley-Davidson Flathead 101 - Controls and Starting Introduction

"I’ve been fielding quite a few questions about the starting and operation of my 1941 Harley-Davidson WL, and I remember my own learning curve when I first rode this motorcycle, so I’ve made this short video to help explain how it all works. It’s a bit different than a modern motorcycle!"

"Aimed at beginners, new motorcyclists, and enthusiasts - or those interested in finding a vintage flathead for themselves and who wonder how they work - this video talks generally about this bike’s pre-standardization motorcycle controls, and how it is started. Experienced vintage Harley-Davidson enthusiasts will be familiar with all this information."

Alex Ripa is a long-time motorcyclist who has recently begun a journey with a vintage Harley-Davidson. His interests are mostly in early American motorcycling history and the clothing, fashion, and culture surrounding it. A professional photographer, Alex enjoys making historically-themed photographs and videos on his Instagram account @alexanderleaving and is the owner of ProRider Southern New England, a motorcycle training school. Alex has been a professional sports coach for the past twenty-five years.
