Husband and I frequent Maggie Valley often and Wheels Through Time is one of our favorite places to visit! He is absolutely right when he says it's not just motorcycles. Antique anything with wheels sitting everywhere. My favorite motorcycle and story is the one hid in a hidden crevice in a wall in a house in Germany, found decades later!
One of the great things about your videos is your love, dedication and excitement of keeping old bikes alive. Your Dad would be so Proud of you carrying on the love.
Great haul, Matt! You're right that you have to have a good eye and know what you're looking for. I'll be down to see y'all when the weather cools down a little. I'm going to subscribe to the archive channel right now.
I love wtt. I've watched most the videos and now going though your dad's gold. I love it all. Everything you do. Can't wait to come and visit when we see the misses family in a few months.
Some awesome finds man I'm glad you got to go and actually found some cool stuff if anyone deserves the finds its you can't wait to see how you use them
21:57 can’t wait to see this! This year we have been to Don Garlits museum, The National Motorcycle Museum, yours of course, and the Harley Museum. I have to say Wheels Through Time outshines the Harley Museum. The one thing those others had that you’ve been working on is the stories behind the bikes. It makes the display that much more interesting.
The first time I heard Wauseon Ohio on Wheels Through Time I was shocked! I was born there and it hasn't changed a lot sense I was a kid and I'll be 68 in a few weeks. It is a small town but host to so many amazing events. I lot of the events are known nation wide. I left Ohio for Florida in 82 then moved to Blairsville GA in 95. A riding group what I road with started meeting in Maggy Valley in the early 2000s. That's when I first met Dale, he was so awesome giving us a tour of the building . All the history on the bikes even the Duesenberg. Then he did burnouts we thought he was just showing us that they all ran. Your lucky to have had such an amazing father. At the counter they noticed I was left handed and was told that Dale was too. Of coerce I had to tell him and he shook my hand the first time I met him. I have been back many times it is one of my favorite rides! Any riders that come here want to go to Deal's gap I have done that too many times. I take them there and say meet me in Cherokee I'm going to Wheels Threw Time.
Love your enthusiasm. Felt it from that first 50's Panhead I sat on as a child. Never got that Harley I dreamed of as a kid but have had plenty I love. I feel you man. YEAH
Matt as usual your enthusiasm is awesome as always about your finds. The snake 🐍 caught my attention was wondering if you would mention it or trip over it first.
So much of his Father in Him. We are so blessed by these generous offerings he gives up to our eyes and ears, with the layered histories of origins and provenance... The team his Dad has gathered around him for this ongoing trek though Has spoiled us silly. His on cue knowledge, and passion to learn more seems undying, and though his lineage, indeed it has proven to be. Thank you for sharing your selfless dedication and Bless The Whole Team.
You found some great parts and memorabilia. Glad that you can finish more projects and display more amazing things. I ♥️ your infectious enthusiasm Matt
I've been to waseon...its sprawling! Been going to davenport since 90'... bought stuff since 90...sold boat loads there... two of the greatest meets in the world...thanks for the joy! Matt.
Man. It's one thing to buy a bunch of stuff for future projects, but it's another to actually do the projects. The cool thing here is that you just know Mike is going to use this stuff!
I'm not a bike guy, what attracts me is the passion you have for this stuff, before eBay, marketplace we did swap meets, made decent money most of the time... keep up the great work!!
Just went to the museum on vacation in Ashville, coolest place on the planet. And I'm not that much of an HD fan anymore, but the antiques on display and knowledgeable staff made it well worth seeing!
Your a wealth of knowledge Matt. I watched a bunch of your videos before figuring out how to subscribe. I am new to smartphones and internet?! I’m glade your so passionate & share so much info!!! The world is a better place for me….I cant get enough!
Matt , here's a tip ... on the piston ring cabinet , this works for me go to your local hardware and get a product called "goof off" its for graffiti , but - (test first) just spray it on wait a few minutes and wipe it off - no risky sanding or buffing - good luck
Bucket list when I return to eastern Tennessee is visiting you're place. I grew up around Japanese bike's and I've never ridden a Harley but, I understand the lure. I very much respect history and American made history.
Hey Matt!!! Great video and looking forward to the videos of you talking to Martin. Also, thanks for letting us know about the other channel, will subscribe to that too!! Thank you for what you do.
Really dig all the finds. Especially like the first year knuckle heads,hopefully you’ve either got or are able to find a set of the baby jar spring cups to go with them. Gotta get my butt to Wauseon next year, that meet sounds like a candy store the size of a small town.
I visited the museum several years ago and dale was there he told us about the museum and the bikes it was a great to hear the stories dale enjoyed telling the story about everything just a great time
3 bikes and all have hard bags, 1979 FLHC, 93 FXRP & 07 FXDB because my daily was 130 miles. And as you get older you need stuff😎. These videos are great! RFR
Matt, you're one of those men any father would be proud to have as a son and any son be proud to have as a father. You're a good man and I can go to my Maker and say Good Job with Matt, we need more of those fellas... Side Note: I'VE GOT MY TICKETS. I'LL BE WAITING ON YOUR CALL BROTHER...😂
What some would possibly see as trash others with skills and true knowledge of history see as pure gold, the world is a darker place when people like you pass on to a new world taking your deep love of history with you for you, videos offer so much for the young to the old Perhaps you should have the wall of death at some of your events, as it has a history as well just like board racing. As a young kid i was playing with bikes and loving them and ever once jump a BSA 650 and as soon as i became Airbone i wounder if it was a good ideal as time seem to slow down , All came out just fine even thow it was a hard landing, But you seem to live and bleed HD Motorcycles and thats someone who loves what they do and loves life. Always love seening your videos and hope to stop in one day and see history in person Keep up the good work thanks from a fan
Matt, it that's latex paint on that Perfect Circle rack a little soap and water will loosen it and a dishwashing scrubby used lightly will take it off. Just be careful with the scrubby. Good luck.
One of my earliest memories is from White Pigeon Michigan, 1978, bike gang rolls by and the leader had a bike with an insane super long front fork just like that. I can't imaging there are 2 of those
Matt, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I been buying and riding Harley’s for over 40 years now I currently own two right now a 2020 triglide that I built up to a 131 myself and I have a CVO softail deuce that I just bought with 2450 original mikes on it. I’ve always wanted a pan head and I was wondering what year pan should I look for? I really want a 65 since it’s that last year and I figured they should if had all the quirks worked out by then. I’m not an expert on the old ones though. Thanks!
We all watched in horror as Mike Smith on the HD VR 1000 #911 came around the top of the hill, under the bridge setting up for the 140 mph right hander to the start/stop line, crashed and burned, quite a Fireball! He was just fine thankfully. Was in the early 2000's.
We have one of those displays for my great grandfathers shop from Toronto. If it helps at all we have the receipt for the display and product from 1919 and receipts to refill it every few years until 1923 when a different supplier was used.
3.5 gal plunger tanks, leather saddle bags, early 50's glass bags, wind shields stock bars with the internal wire controls, shift gates, mouse traps, front fenders, panheads,rear hinged fenders, 'buddy' seats, seat posts, tail lights headlights, M35, M74 carbs, the list goes on. This was stuff all stuff that got discarded in the mid-60's to mid to late 70's. Who knew? Not to mention all the frames that we ground the side car mounts, and any other extra mount off. Not to mention raking them. Probably threw half a ton of this stuff myself. Hey! It was the thing to do then. I mean even the H.A. had a fine if you were caught riding a 'Garbage Barge'.
I always made it a point to not fuck up anything stock that wasn't already hacked up. Had some fun with guys at swap meets though..... They're going on about how rare and original something was, then I would say something like "it's going to work out great, I'll just cut it here and weld on new mounts" or something like that 😂.... I'm probably still referred to as"that MF'er" by some🤣
You make my life seem so insignificant … However your enthusiasm is second to none and infectious. I,m coming from Australia to see your museum if it’s the last thing I do !!
hello dale, been a big fan for a while now. i've got got a friend that's got a 38 knuckle head all original ( i think) he doesn't know a whole lot about it got it from his brother in-law that passed a few years ago i would love for you to take a look at we are in Asheville. i would be more than happy to composite you for your time.
I found a local car dealership with some nice looking 40s and 50s Harleys hiding in the back of the warehouse. We’re heading down in a couple of weeks for our first time to the wheels through time museum

Whooo relieved when showing the gas tanks. “Please don’t be display items, please”. Glad you have a project where they go on. Balances the universe
What a week you guys had at Wauseon! Those VR's are AMAZING! Can't wait to see more of them!
Great haul, Matt! You're right that you have to have a good eye and know what you're looking for. I'll be down to see y'all when the weather cools down a little. I'm going to subscribe to the archive channel right now.
The springer is insane!!!! Do I smell a chopper build video series on the horizon?
Man those sport bikes are wicked cool!

Ya ikept wonder why ,why did he buy that dang thing lol.

It's like Christmas morning at WTTM. Matt's excitement is SOOOOOOO contagious. I absolutely LOVE this show!
AMAZING the amount of knowledge you possess young man. I’m hoping you have someone you can share and pass that passion forward.
Matt you are an incredible man doing awesome things. I believe that this is a way of life and not a job. The world owes you bucket loads of thanks.
You found some great parts and memorabilia. Glad that you can finish more projects and display more amazing things. I ♥️ your infectious enthusiasm Matt
Matt, your excitement is infectious. It's like a kid in a candy store. I'm watching this and getting excited as well...
Your spirit and enthusiasm is admirable and enjoyable to witness .
Looks like you are filling out the museum nicely
I've been to waseon...its sprawling! Been going to davenport since 90'... bought stuff since 90...sold boat loads there... two of the greatest meets in the world...thanks for the joy! Matt.
Matt your dad is smiling down at you ! Can't wait to visit you next weekend.
Man. It's one thing to buy a bunch of stuff for future projects, but it's another to actually do the projects. The cool thing here is that you just know Mike is going to use this stuff!
Oh man, Those VR racing bikes are amazing! I can't wait for the feature video!
If only Harley had innovated instead of throwing in the towel.
Love your place. Met you and your dad. Bautiful
I'm not a bike guy, what attracts me is the passion you have for this stuff, before eBay, marketplace we did swap meets, made decent money most of the time... keep up the great work!!
Somebody took real good care of those bags man....sweet
Those tanks didnt look to bad off really
You scored some gems dude
Killer!!!
Just went to the museum on vacation in Ashville, coolest place on the planet. And I'm not that much of an HD fan anymore, but the antiques on display and knowledgeable staff made it well worth seeing!
Was just in Maggie Valley (2-9 Aug). Matt - you exude a passion for bikes that is infectious. Thank you for all you do!

Thanks! Matt and crew. Ariel And I really enjoyed, your love for moving art. Thanks so much
Matt , here's a tip ... on the piston ring cabinet , this works for me go to your local hardware and get a product called "goof off" its for graffiti , but - (test first) just spray it on wait a few minutes and wipe it off - no risky sanding or buffing - good luck
Your museum is on my bucket list ,hope to visit before my end of life .!
Bucket list when I return to eastern Tennessee is visiting you're place.
I grew up around Japanese bike's and I've never ridden a Harley but, I understand the lure.
I very much respect history and American made history.
What a haul! Glad those treasures went to a good home
Look’s like a great addition to the museum, I REALLY want to visit, love the love you have for the history of the American motorcycle.
Love watching you but miss your DAD keep up the great work sire.
I'm really interested to hear more about those VR1000's. Can't wait.
What a deal and all of this amazing stuff.....Thanks Matt....
Old Shoe🇺🇸
I love that you love what you do so much. Keep up the excellent work.
Hey Matt!!! Great video and looking forward to the videos of you talking to Martin. Also, thanks for letting us know about the other channel, will subscribe to that too!! Thank you for what you do.

Man, u r the joy of life... I can feel it u simply Eat-Sleep-Breathe MOTORCYCLES!!!! Cheers
Matt your Dad would be proud! Your taking the museum in the right direction
We will be there in October for our second visit. Can't wait to see this stuff in person
Have you heard the national motorcycle museum is closing for good on September 5th, all of their collection of vintage motorcycles are for sale!
Awesome finds! 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Matt, Been Enjoying Going Back In Time An Watching Your Dad.
Great job Matt I would love to see crocker restoration show Dale's smiling down on you and your family ❤
Really dig all the finds. Especially like the first year knuckle heads,hopefully you’ve either got or are able to find a set of the baby jar spring cups to go with them.
Gotta get my butt to Wauseon next year, that meet sounds like a candy store the size of a small town.
good stuff, Denvers built me a 36" over springer for a customer years ago but i think you beat it on length!
So awesome to see all the stuff you got. Great video thanks for the entertainment.
Nice haul !! You are going to need to add on to the building soon.
I miss your dad Matt, but what a worthy heir you are, excellent stuff.
those military tires are for the 1942 USMC machine gun hand cart. They used 19 inch motorcycle wheels. Great find for a hand cart restorer
Good info! We'll look into that.
Good morning sir another Job Well Done by our factory trained experts.
Matt and his crew have taken his Dad's legacy to a new level.
I visited the museum several years ago and dale was there he told us about the museum and the bikes it was a great to hear the stories dale enjoyed telling the story about everything just a great time
3 bikes and all have hard bags, 1979 FLHC, 93 FXRP & 07 FXDB because my daily was 130 miles. And as you get older you need stuff😎. These videos are great! RFR
Wow! Those VR's are incredible!! Looking forward to the story.
The Blue Knuckle from last year is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Please make something similar in green 😊
You're right, Mike Wolfe did find one on American Pickers, I recognised it because of the Death riders. Hello from the UK!!
Matt you're awesome man. we met you last year. the staff were great. it's nice to go somewhere and get treated like family. see you soon.
Ö p
thank you for taking us along Matt!
Thanks for watching!
Good suggestion is to use the bags the the tanks and super long springer all on a bike and call it the swap meet special
I live in Wauseon Ohio I was at the swap meet at swap meet started Little and it’s got big inside the Fulton County fairgrounds
Matt, you're one of those men any father would be proud to have as a son and any son be proud to have as a father. You're a good man and I can go to my Maker and say Good Job with Matt, we need more of those fellas...
Side Note: I'VE GOT MY TICKETS. I'LL BE WAITING ON YOUR CALL BROTHER...😂
What some would possibly see as trash others with skills and true knowledge of history see as pure gold,
the world is a darker place when people like you pass on to a new world taking your deep love of history with you for you, videos offer so much for the young to the old
Perhaps you should have the wall of death at some of your events, as it has a history as well just like board racing.
As a young kid i was playing with bikes and loving them and ever once jump a BSA 650 and as soon as i became Airbone i wounder if it was a good ideal as time seem to slow down , All came out just fine even thow it was a hard landing,
But you seem to live and bleed HD Motorcycles and thats someone who loves what they do and loves life.
Always love seening your videos and hope to stop in one day and see history in person
Keep up the good work
thanks from a fan
Matt u remind me very much of your dad, in your actions and enthusiasm
GLAD YOU GOT THE V-R1000. CANT WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO.
Matt, it that's latex paint on that Perfect Circle rack a little soap and water will loosen it and a dishwashing scrubby used lightly will take it off. Just be careful with the scrubby. Good luck.
What a great haul of rare parts and bikes. What about the rattlesnake that was watching over the parts reveal? Rattlesnake-loving minds need to know.
One of my earliest memories is from White Pigeon Michigan, 1978, bike gang rolls by and the leader had a bike with an insane super long front fork just like that. I can't imaging there are 2 of those
My great grandfather was the first motorcycle cop in Saint Louis
Awesome! We have a whole exhibit dedicated to motorcycle cops. You should see it.
You have by far the coolest job on the planet.
There seems to be a lack of Sportsters at the museum, especially early ones.
Matt, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I been buying and riding Harley’s for over 40 years now I currently own two right now a 2020 triglide that I built up to a 131 myself and I have a CVO softail deuce that I just bought with 2450 original mikes on it.

I’m not an expert on the old ones though. Thanks!
All Panhead’s can be good ones if they are rebuilt properly and well maintained. But…65 does have electric start!!
We all watched in horror as Mike Smith on the HD VR 1000 #911 came around the top of the hill, under the bridge setting up for the 140 mph right hander to the start/stop line, crashed and burned, quite a Fireball! He was just fine thankfully. Was in the early 2000's.

Well, it was the '60's and very early '70's.
Strange and unusual times.
Back then you couldn't give an Indian away.@@johndoe-so2ef
You make my life seem so insignificant … However your enthusiasm is second to none and infectious. I,m coming from Australia to see your museum if it’s the last thing I do !!
Thank you!
Love your passion for the old iron
As an old chopper guy, I wanted to see more of that springer !!
Me to
Dude, that carnival sign is just incredibly awesome.
I want to see that fork on a Harley chopper. That things gotta be MADNESS!!!
When I saw that poster the first thing I thought about was Mike Wolfe bought that same one in an episode of American Pickers. It's a cool poster.
I like your enthusiasm. You are like a kid in a candy store
Brother,,, just sold a complete 1947 45,,, wasn't perfect but,,,, this is still all out there,,, keep looking,,,it's there,,,,
Good stuff im helping with the algorithms from New Zealand started watching your dad doing builds 20 years ago on sky tv. 😁🇬🇸👍
Dude, those VR's are sweet. Yet again, more bikes you don't see everyday!
hello dale, been a big fan for a while now. i've got got a friend that's got a 38 knuckle head all original ( i think) he doesn't know a whole lot about it got it from his brother in-law that passed a few years ago i would love for you to take a look at we are in Asheville. i would be more than happy to composite you for your time.
I found a local car dealership with some nice looking 40s and 50s Harleys hiding in the back of the warehouse. We’re heading down in a couple of weeks for our first time to the wheels through time museum
The snake looks great in person. Thanks for pointing it out.
I talked to him back in the day really interesting about this development on his race bike
