Can you imagine being a kid in those days, full of wonder and enthusiasm every day, and see this to build on? It must have been a wonderful world in the USA back then.
your knowledge about these old bikes is just unbelievable to me !!!
I've ridden from Texas to North Carolina on a Harley to stay in Maggie Valley and visit this wonderful museum. Can you imagine riding that same distance on that motorcycle? Simply amazing....
I rode an 09 Yale a few years back it wasn't bad about like being on a bike all day as a kid.
Pretty cool. I couldn't do it on my Sportster tho.
I had a daydream in the 1900s listening to that beast. Would've been so fun to have one of these then. Even now.
I really appreciate that you fire up these machines... yup
Yeah, that’s cool
It's nice to see a piece of American History. Especially motorcycle history.
my grandpa has a old broken up bike like that flyer in the barn. I'm gonna try to get out there to look before that barn falls over.
well...Did you get it out yet??
@@thomasbrittain747 not yet, uncle Gary say's grandpa bought it in the 20's with a rail attachment and drove the thing home on the tracks for a week. he figures it'a all still there but hasn't seen it run since the 60's.it's all buried up behind crap from 50 years.
106 yrs old motorbike. Amazing👏👏👏
Matt you and your Pops are a couple of American heros. You have the coolest job ever ! Thanks Hoss.
I have been through the museum and it is well worth the time to go through. Stay at the Jonathan Creek Inn for the best accommodations with a creek side view.
As many times that I’ve been to the museum, I never get tired of seeing all the super rare and important bikes. I always admired Dale’s passion for telling the stories with authentic details. I watch Matt on these videos tell the tales with great passion and it’s exciting to see his enthusiasm. I think the best compliment I can say is this, you’re just a newer version of you’re ol’ man! Same passion, same knowledge, just with younger eyes. Keep telling the stories so they don’t ever die. 👍
Hey Matt, On the old "Time Machine" there is a video called Servicar Show. It has your dad's 1953 and my 1959 Servi's on it. Your dad talks about the machines, his bike, my bike, and a fellow that rode a late model using a sericar rear form Tennessee. There are shots of Neely and I riding the bikes around the museum and me using my tow bar to tow my bike. Had great fun doing the video with Dale and riding the bikes. Spent 3 days with you guys at the shop and stayed at the Stoney Creek Motel while there. Also got to play with Erik from Iron Block HD in Adams NY on the Goulding Tricars. Hope to see you folks again this year.
Can't get enough of these old bikes, keep em coming
That's a beautiful storyline how a family trace one of the last motorcycle of that era 👍💕
I happened to be passing and saw this museum whilst on holiday from the UK. Fabulous place. Enjoyed it very much.
How many of us watching these videos would volunteer to clean the oil drip pans at WTT if Dale and Matt would let us hang around and learn for a summer or two?
Fuck yes... that would be awesome..
The smell the aroma it would be heaven
A simple resenting absolutely yes I concur. Please
I'm in.Man what a lucky guy to ride these old bikes...
I would be glad to do it for the aroma ....
4:50. I read the story about this years ago. Because the roads were so bad he often traveled on rail road tracks. He kept a good supply of spokes which he would replace on a near daily bases. And he overhauled the engine several times too.
Awesome story
Ty for being part of history brother 😊😊
I've been there twice,both times were during The Bike Rally's.There's so much History here to see.Really glad to see and hear some of these Old Bikes being started and even got to see Your Dad ride one up and down street.That's bringing History back to Life.Many Thanks and wish You the best.From a Harley Rider.
Wow, thank you so much for explaining the details of this rare motorbike and for starting it up. What a true American classic beauty!
I wasn't expecting it to sound like that. That thing is a beast!
I didn't realize how much went into going for a ride back in the early 1900s.
There was 26 years between wymans ride and the depression.
yeah like starting up a modern appache helicopter with a ton of levers and considerations and thoughts when and how to apply..
Your other option may have been a bicycle or a horse.

The Flescher Flyer is one hell of a machine for the year! Love it!
Man I wish smell-o-vision was actually a thing. A beautiful bike!
Still only recently discovered this channel, and the museum through another channel.... absolutely loving the content, and really love the fact that you have an inventory of running/riding motorcycles, and not just "museum pieces" 😀
Nebraska born and raised. I've been waiting for this one. Thank you.
It is awesome that you guys fire up the old stuff. Several times now I have been just glued to my chair watching you guys start and ride these old bikes. Also, you do an excellent job in your videos both audio and visual. Thank you so much for what you do!!
Man, that's so cool! What a lovely sound as well. May I just say, I LOVE this channel! This museum gotta be pretty close to the very top of my bucket list, even though I live in Norway. Definitely a good reason to go back to the US at some point. Rent or buy a bike, go on a round trip, maybe visit some relatives while I'm at it! 😁
I love motorcycle history, wish we had a museum like this in asia. I could imagine them on these bikes for the first time, can you imagine how people would have reacted to it. Amazing
Where in Asia do you live?

Thank you for your efforts keeping history alive.
LOVE the history of these old machines & you tell it very well, thank you!
On a side note. Nice little video production by a group of guys that normally turn a wrench and screwdriver. Love the history lesson.
Never owned a bike & only once on the back, never again...But in all my wildest dreams I would love to own any of these old bikes just to stare at it...A thing of beauty
Man Im digging the show 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Electrical_Dynamo There is always someone.
Love to watch the old school Motorcycles run.. great historical background
This bike is the best looking old bike ever. I wanna build one just like this from scratch. That tank is hands down the coolest old tank I have ever seen.
That bike, and the Sears bike look IDENTICAL! Jayman...
I grew up with a matchless 500 cc bike my dad had several and also a Norton feather bed. Also, 1:23 several panther bikes i built one good matchless out of 2 when i was 12 and could only bump start it and i could ride it just as i was to short to touch the ground then i rebuild my dads norton and past my uk bike licence on it and rode it through 2 years of collage this started my love for british bikes the Norton was stolen and burnt out and i never forgot about it thank you for your passion for all bikes cheers from the uk 🇬🇧
My Dad said "it ran 50mph down the middle of Maggie valley". Then you know it's a fact. Keep up the great work Matt.
Dale rode their Crocker around for us several years ago soon after he moved in I think. He spent an hour walking us through basically giving us a personal tour. Super nice guy and passionate. I've told countless people about this musium. You would never believe this amazing place is in such a little sleepy town and definitely worth the trip. Matt you must have been wrenching in the back, but you are doing a great job speaking about these jewels. Thanks!!
Hot diggity, that was so awesome. Incredible to see it jammin down the road. I doubt anything being built today will run as well, or run at all, in the same amount of future years.
Wheels Through Time is Heaven on Earth!
Visited Wheels Through Time a few years ago... Only took me 5 hours to get through it... Would've been longer but everybody got hungry... LOL I will go back alone someday soon. Yes I read everything as I am amazed at these machines. Oh and Dale will fire these bikes up from time to time just for fun. He fired up 2 bikes just because we were looking at them. Great people
Another great video, I'm watching from England, I wish I could see these bikes in the flesh
I've recently rebuilt the Jack Moore Norton Prototype 500cc Twin. I've also got a second JM Norton engine which has a shaft-drive gearbox. Both are post-WW2 but pre-date the Model 7.
@@PNH750 wow fantastic
Without a doubt …. One of the greatest channels on KZhead. A solid line of great stories and history to go along with. Not just stories and pictures, he mentions the have 350 running pieces of motorcycle history. I just love this channel and I don’t even ride …… Thank You for all your videos.

In the late 90s I road all night from Iowa to get to your museum. Knowing that your dad gave me a free museum coffee mug. Always have appreciated that. Great museum. Great show.
What a beautiful place to live and have a museum.
l could watch this channel all day long.....Excellent....Thanks...!
That's a beautiful property in Maggie Valley. My son and I were in Maggie Valley in 2019. I didn't know about the museum then but I will be visiting again someday soon. Thanks for your show.

I'm not crazy into motorcycles like you guys are, I have owned Harley Suzuki Yamaha Honda many different bikes in my life, and I really enjoyed seeing that bike start up knowing how old it is, beautiful job guys and my hat goes off to your old man for saving it.
You really do need to visit the museum. Well worth the trip.
It must have been an incredible era to be alive in when this was first ridden.
like the first warp speed starship man will build one day
Your Knowledge is to say the least is unbelievable. How you retain this knowlegde is remarkable!
Amazing. Kudos to your enterprise preserving priceless history. On my bucket list. THANKS!
That may very well be one of the coolest videos on KZhead! Thanks for sharing the bike with us!
Sweet bike. Thanks for the generosity of showing it running. Your cool mate. Hi from Australia.

Wow! Must make a trip to this place to see these awesome bikes!
Love the show & all you have. Thank you!
What an absolute joy , thanks guys
The sound of that thing gave me goosebumps
WOW! This is going WAY back to the early motor-cycle concept! Thank you!!

I love seeing these old bikes like this. great job!
Thanks Dale. Much appreciated.
This channel is amazing. Thank you for all these bikes.....so cool!
I've heard there was one out there but I never seen it till today thank you. 😎
great as always....thank you matt....
Hope you guys are doing well up there in Maggie valley, can't wait to visit again soon.
Amazing videos! Your presenting is brilliant and your passion for the machines is infectious! Thanks so much for making them. It's heartwarming to hear you talk about the preservation of the paintwork and the patina because it highlights a tragedy of the destruction of the world's antique motorcycles by so called 'enthusiasts'. Here in the UK people are obsessed with purchasing and destroying decades of character and history by turning our old motorcycles into brand new ones. Can you IMAGINE committing this crime to any other area of antiques! So much of our motorcycle history has been destroyed by this destructive trend and I hope you might consider doing a video to explain the beauty and magic of historic machines so that people can evolve their thinking around the world, and we can end this disastrous trend. Thanks again for your great videos!
Thanks love seeing those bikes
You Sir…have so much knowledge to share and certainly much of it learned on your own ..but much learned from your Dad! My question is…..who was your Dads mentor?
Good video, great museum. I love these really old machines you have, and that you actually run them when possible.
Just found y'all! Will be headed your way soon! Thank you for what you do!
You and your dad are the best! God bless!
I really enjoyed your video. Now that I found your channel and will continue to follow your videos. I shared the link with my biker brothers and sisters for their enjoyment as well. Keep up the great work.
Amazing Motorcycle.....gotta visit this museum when they open back up
Incredible. I put this museum on my bucketlist too. I live near Denver.
Amazing great demonstration
This is my life i love my bikes and cars
The best job in the entire world! I’m so jealous
So cool that you’re putting all this cool information out there just never knew it
You all are real good at filming these great on everything. It’s a hard thing to get right and I have to say you all are probably one the best
