Am planning on riding my 2018 Ultra there next month. So. That should qualify posting in this sub-forum.
Riding out of Waco. Checking off my bucket list. Before I check out. One heart beat away. As they say. Surely some one here has been there? Once I get there I plan on taking at least 2 or 3 days going through the museum. Any tips on where to stay. What else to check out. I know the Blue Ridge Parkway is close.. May Jesus Have Your Six.

 

My advice is to make sure they are open. Been thru Maggie Valley more times than I can remember and it was closed every time I was in the area.

 

The best western in Maggie Valley seems nice enough. they have the Trike meet there every year and nobody says anything bad about it.

 

You'll have a blast. Wheels Through Time is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. I ride to North Carolina every year, and stay a few days in Maggie Valley. Tail of the Dragon is about 70 miles away and a must ride. BRP is right close between Maggie and Cherokee, every road a blast to ride. Moonshiner 28 you'll hit on the way to the Dragon. Cherokee has a large Casino if you're into that type of thing, lots of food and drink there. You can get a good burger at the Dragon also.

You can see most of the museum in a day. My favorite bikes are the Traub, and the Les Myers Panhead drag bike. Myers was a Harley Dealer in Whiskey Falls way back in the 40's and 50's, and a drag racer. Lots of history from my area I wasn't even aware of.

 

Always a good time to be had in this area ... Never a bad road !

 

I spent almost a half day with Dale one time. I stopped there and they had a film crew filming and he needed help to move some bikes around and I said hell yeah!. It was a coincidence really, my wife and I just wanted to visit the museum… good memories.
To hear and feel those 100 years old bikes running was a trip.

 

Wayah road Uncle Larry!!!!

That was a great tip!

 

We are going to be there Memorial Day week. As suggested, check thier website for days open and hours open. Been in MV twice and the place was closed. I can do a full day in the Museum, 2-3 is pushing it by I get it. Lots of great riding in the area. MV has a bunch of hotels and motels right on the main strip, the entire town is very Biker friendly, never had an issue there. We have 3 couples so we found a VRBO right up the hill from WTT for 4 nights.

When I did my 48 state ride I kept a trip log. Here is an excerpt from my log. "After leaving Deals Gap I exited 129 on Wayah Road (look it up). It was a great road, one of the best I've ever been on."

 

I'd say the Moonshiner 28 was better than the dragon...IMO.

But to the OP, that museum is FANTASTIC. Every motorcycle there runs. Ask them to fire up one of the original 1900-era bikes.
