Default A REALLY, REALLY BIG CHOPPER
This is a pic of my bike parked next to the Big Chopper at Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC taken during a visit a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday morning. It was in the parking lot instead of near the front entrance since ithad beenridden (30' trips) the previous evening.

We were up in Maggie Valley a couple of weeks ago as well and if you get the chance make sure to visit this museum it is well worth the admission price. He has hundreds of bikes and everything in the museum RUNS! He has a section in the back where he likes to do burnouts on some of these old bikes and it's pretty cool to hear some of these old motors run.

Dale and his crew are some good people. We go to Maggie Valley every September and have not missed the museum in about 10 years. It has been cool to watch it grow.

Stop in if you get close.

Ride Safe,

Mike
