Exploring Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum In Maggie Valley North Carolina

  • While in North Carolina, we rode into Maggie Valley to check out the Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum. This place was started by a man by the name of Dale Walksler, who when at the age of 15 fell in love with American motorcycles when he rebuilt his first bike. The overwhelming majority of what you'll see here in this video is Dale's collection from years of being deep into the world of traditional American motor vehicle heritage. This place is a definite must see if you are ever in the area of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
    This video is also the last of the footage from our trip to North Carolina on the 1998 Electra Glide just before returning home only to have the SaddleTramp garage completely destroyed with all four bikes in it by Hurricane Zeta. The bikes for the most part may still be salvageable, but we are still at this time waiting on the adjuster before we can start trying to dig them out of the rubble. The building is pretty much totaled, and it's going to be a long process, we believe, before things will be somewhat "normal" again. That being said... I've left a donate button on the channel and a link in the description for those who would like to contribute to the rebuild in order to keep this channel going. . A humble thank you to those who have given already and to those who have yet to contribute. If not, that's perfectly ok too. These videos are all free anyway to watch. Thank you and God bless.

    Whoah that place is truly amazing, must be an amazing experience to work in a place like that all that automotive history. Truly superb to see. Being in my early 30s I can massively appreciate all those beautiful bikes, great to see so many preserved for future generations.

    It's a great collection. My cousin has a Harley Repair shop and he told me stories about riding with Dale when they were younger. He has some old bikes but Dale's collection has got to be one of the largest outside Harley's own collection. It would be cool if that place was still around 50 years from now telling people the story of motoring.....

I already have my raffle bike T shirt and as I write this I am wearing my Dales Harley Davidson Restoration shirt I got at the museum last year. Man I am so sorry about your garage. It was just so old school and perfect for creating content. Glad you guys are alright and that's the most important thing.
