WILD RIDE American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe takes 1934 Harley valued at $88k ‘out for a spin’ after dropping $12k on similar antique

AMERICAN Pickers star Mike Wolfe has taken his vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle for a ride through Tennessee.

Mike, 60, documented his travels on the Natchez Trace Parkway on Instagram.

Mike previously snapped up an antique bike he called the “rarest motorcycle in the world” on the show for just $12,000.

But his own motorcycle appeared to be in much better shape.

The History Channel personality’s bike featured a faded blue shade, with a large headlight and a rusty Harley Davidson logo on the side.

The bike’s motor was on as Mike circled the 1934 antique, revealing the rare piece’s closer details.

“Taking the 1934 Harley VL for a spin on the @natchezracetravel,” the reality star wrote over the clip.

Mike then shared a photo of the bike in front of Fly General store in Santa Fe, Tennessee.

“Always stop and chill @flygeneralstore for a moment,” he wrote.

Mike has been in the business of vintage motorbikes for quite some time.

He owns Columbia Motor Alley, a car dealership in Columbia, Tennessee, with a full-service repair shop and vintage bike display.

The TV personality also owns two Antique Archaeology stores in Nashville, Tenessee, and Le Claire, Iowa.

ANOTHER RARE BIKE
While fans await new episodes of American Pickers, the show’s TV show account has been sharing throwback clips on social media.

Last week, one video showed Mike and his fellow picker, Jersey Jon Szalay, 60, finding the “rarest motorcycle in the world.”

As they headed to California to find antiques, the TV stars met one seller who had an old motorcycle stored on top of a pole.

“This four-cylinder motorcycle is one of the rarest motorcycles in the world,” Jon said in a confessional.

“We’re not gonna walk away from this chassis on a pole!”

Jon is an antique expert fond of vintage motorcycles who first appeared in the series during Season 7, which aired in 2012.

Mike asked Jon if he was interested in the bike, to which he replied, “It’s amazing that we had an opportunity to even find this bike in the wild.

“You just don’t see these things. It’s surreal.”

Although Mike offered $10,000 with hesitation, Jon added another $2,000.

The seller responded to the offer with a $12,200 counter, and Mike and Jon agreed.

“I can’t tell you the last time I even had an opportunity to buy a 1941 Indian Four Cylinder Chassis. They don’t show up,” Jon noted.

READY FOR MORE!
Fans have been awaiting new episodes of the antique hunting series and wondering when Season 26 will premiere.

Last month, Mike’s brother Robbie Wolfe, 57, revealed that new episodes would return on October 15.

“See you soon,” he wrote on Instagram with a photo alongside the show’s film crew.

American Pickers began in 2010, and its current cast includes Mike, Robbie, Jon, and Danielle Colby, 48.

Earlier this year, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the series was renewed on The History Channel until 2027.

Season 25 wrapped this spring after facing rollercoaster ratings since its December 2023 premiere.

The lower viewership came after the show axed its original cast member, Frank Fritz, 58.
