The History Channel personality first shared a video of the aged bike, which featured a faded blue shade, on the side of the road.
The antique bike also featured 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.
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.
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.
