Wheels through Time Museum
Went to Tail of the Dragon this past Memorial weekend. On the way back we stopped at "Wheels Through Time" Museum in Maggie Valley North Carolina. Maggie Valley is about 60 miles from the Dragon. What a treat that was. This is not just another bike museum. Well worth the $12.00 admission. Most of the bikes were very old and most are in running condition. They call themselves a running museum. The center of the museum has a bunch of burn outs from the owner when he rides the bike he's currently restoring. During Memorial weekend the "American MotorDrone" wall of death stunt riders were their. Very impressive stunt riding on the 15 foot circular wall.
The own (Dale Walksler) has a TV show called "What's in the Barn" which starts it's second season June 10th on the Volosity channel. I did not know of the TV show until I visited the museum. They are airing last years episodes now. Just watched one where they started 120 bikes in 12 hours. Comes to starting a bike every 6 minutes. These are OLD challenging bikes to start. The oldest was a 1903 HD.
I have no affiliation with Dave or the museum. Just a rider sharing an experience.

a must do for anyone into history of cars/bikes. THe man has some coin wrapped up in the place.
I like the fact if you want to hear what this bike or that bike sounds like...you just ask. THey will run anything thats fully together.

Yes it is very worthwhile and Dale is a down-to-earth guy. I really enjoyed my visit there last year.
