    Matt ,you have kept your father's dream alive ,way beyond his expectations ! Your knowledge,n information about every motorcycle is so thorough n accurate. Your passion ,towards each exhibit ,captures the viewer or visitor attention so completely! World class young man !

      Floyd Rhodes , read my mind ! I visited The WTT Museum twice years ago and met Dale and he made me feel like a life long friend . I have supported the Museum ever since and can’t wait to get back down there again someday .
      I have to say you Matt are doing exactly what he would want you to do . Thank God he had you to step in with the same Passion for Old Motorcycles as he did . You are doing a fantastic job keep up the great work !!
      (and get checked regularly for whatever it was that got your Dad ,if history repeats itself maybe they can treat in time . I know it’s an terrible thing to think about but that stuff can be hereditary )

    Being a British motorcycle guy, this is my favorite channel about bikes. The soul that these bikes have is incredible. You can sense the ghosts of the past who still sit on these machines and the brave (crazy) guys who rode these machines past their intended design parameters.

      The last time I went to California, To the El Mirage lake bed land speed racing with the SCTA and that was a 14 hour flight.

    Hey Matt, I have been fortunate enough to spend a fair amount of time with Dave Lietner. That A motor in the rivet tank was purchased from him by your dad. Dave got it from Frank Westfall. There is as bit of a funny story behind the purchase from Frank. Ask Dave about it at Wauseon this summer. Also, according to Dave there is a second Reading race engine. Again, Dave sold it to your dad. Is it still there in the museum somewhere? Love your videos! Hope to make it back to the museum sometime this year.

    I was fortunate enough to visit Wheels Through Time a few years back . Dale was not there but I managed to talk with Matthew who is a super nice and Extremely knowledgeable dude . RIP Dale but this year 2023 my brother in law and friend and I are hopefully heading back there. My friend has never been and we are all chomping at the bit so to speak to visit once again . People say have you been to this rally or that but in terms of American motorcycle history this place is an absolute must if your a biker .👍🇬🇧🇺🇲😎Greetings from OBX North Carolina.

    Great video!! I've been waiting a longtime to see the Reading Standard again! In 1999, I met Dale for the first time. I was with Jim Parker. When I saw the Reading Standard hanging from the ceiling in a glass case, I asked Dale if it ran? He brought it down and started it!! It smoked quite a bit and set off the fire alarm. The fire department showed up!

    These early H-D's are the only H-D's I genuinely love. Skinny tires not unlike those on the RS, but smaller diameter, and cross-treaded, would return to racing, in the 50cc World Championship GP bikes from the 1960's, til the 1980's, when the 50cc championships ended. 17k+ rpm 100+ mph bikes. 50cc two-stroke singles, with rotary case induction, in later years, producing 20hp.
