I have ridden there three times from Omaha. A great museum! Very sad it has to close. If this were a baseball or some other ball and stick sport museum people would be falling all over each other to get in and support it. I hope the auction goes well for the owners and they are rewarded nicely. All the best to them.
How could anyone say they don’t like Ed Roth ? the man is a Legend IMO as much as any of the Great Customizers like George Barriss , Gene Winfield ,Jesse James ,anda few others
p o that i hear that your museum is closing. But i have to say thank you for having it for as long as u did . Theses are all beautiful machines , 60---70 s n better , style. keeps some of the newer style bikers on their toes . how cool they were back in the days .
It's a shame the museum is closing. I love vintage bikes, choppers, customs and anything cool, so hopefully these machines will go to people that will continue to display them publicly rather than hide 'em in a private collection. Thanks for preserving history!
All the years I spent trucking across America, never knew this place existed, shame the young generation is missing out on how simple things were, an how the safety of the ride has changed.
+You can see my donated 200,000-mile 1999 Victory V92C from 59:37 - 59:45 nestled (for some reason) in the European segment in this video. I also donated a 2001 Buell Blast, but didn't see it, nor do I know if it was ever displayed...
So cool, I went to Dale's Wheels Through Time last year in Maggie Valley and it was great to see the variety of bikes there. I had a KZ900 like the one in the video. That bike would really run. I fortunately survived a no-look driver making a left turn in front of me. Snapped my femur, through me over the trunk but I lived to ride again, thanks to the full coverage helmet I had on. It obliterated it and I would have surely had a head injury without it.
Wouldn’t i love to own that Jesse James Camel Roadhouse El Diablo chopper. That bike changed my life and the way I felt about motorcycles. I really hope it goes to a great home or back to the original owner. I wish I could afford to own a bike like that one. I have built a chopper but it’s not that nice. But it makes me happy to ride anyway.
Auctioned off like the rest of America. Way too high for us regular folks to ever dream. Old Harleys are very popular in Japan of all places. They sell you "reliable" and "cheap" only to buy up all your history. I hope the new generation is proud.
It seems as the world is changing for the worse.....all the great thing's like this wonderful museum are coming to a sad end. The sign of the times? Sadly, I think so. I'm writing from sunny Northern California. Come on out to Yosemite National Park and Calavaras Big Trees. The riding is awesome out here....for now, until it dies too.
Thankfully, I got my 7 year old granddaughter there before it closed. The six times times I said:"I rode one just like this in...." was cool. Of course, the "I sold this one for $50" and "this one got buried in a field" stories didn't come out. The "I rode an modified Triumph up the hill climb in ..." was a cool story. Maybe not so much emphasis on:"I made it 3/4 (optimistic estimate) up the hill" but forgot the "flipped it on my head" part. My grandpa rode a 1942 like this one, and a great uncle traded a 1918 Harley like this one for a couple of plow horses added more family context.
Looks like it was Heaven on Earth! At least we have this video to remember it by. Kind of a shame someone felt the need to 'restore' Roaddog, though. Don't think it was ever meant to be that polished and painted up.
Something more lay back an bluesy for the sound track on this video an then a easy 10 out of 10 for video but music kinda like intense scary movie vibe 😮😢😅
I ride a Honda. It’s a great reliable bike. Like a good friend to me. Seeing that crushed Panhead made me sad. What a waste of timeless Art. Like I said I ride Red but if I had a Pan, Shovel, or even a Knuckle I’d cherish it
Hopefully Wheels Through Time obtains some of these and expands!
Multiple - Multiple wet dreams in that video.Thank you to whoever got their sh*t together to record these gems for posterity.

Dang that brakes my heart if I was closer I would go all the time
The bikes in the museum are a super cool, but that soundtrack is amazingly good. Absolutely awesome soundtrack
EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ 👍
I'd love to see RoadDog and McQueens Indian chopper go to WTT.
No words but tears of JOY!!!
So many beautiful bikes. I won't be able to afford any of them at auction.

Ridden over to the museum many times. What a great place. Very sorry to see it go!
I hope these bikes go to a good hope. Maybe someone will buy all of them and just move the museum
Was here last week with 6 other riders great museum sorry to see it closing been here twice. Going to try and make the auction on the 9th of Sept.
Great bikes, great music
thank you for these great bikes information😀
Awesome
All the years I spent trucking across America, never knew this place existed, shame the young generation is missing out on how simple things were, an how the safety of the ride has changed.
Yes please!
Wow what a motorcycle collection, there must have been a motorcycle to suit tastes of all sorts
Inspiration for my new shop 😎
Thanks for the video much appreciated
I'm sad to see it go for real
Course Barber is the real national motorcycle museum. Nothing in the world compares.
unless your looking for harley's

So sad to learn of this closure .... if only I had the money to help! ... 🏍😧🏍
Really cool you're just on the wrong side of the tracks like me
music goooooooooooooooooooodddd!!!!
Love you

Where all these amazing bikes going

@@tucoramirez8397 sad
@@tucoramirez8397 it's literally YOUR generation that ruined things lol. it's YOUR generation that's closing the museum and selling it.
To offset Japs getting our bikes I hoard real Samurai swords.
Mecum Auction.
Roaddog is the pinnacle of super- weird-super-awesome fabrication.
I’ve never been here but I’ve ordered a lot of metal garage signs from them.

Hope i can make it out
why do people say for good when something interesting closes. i think it is bad.. not for good.

How the hell did this place close.come in America
Talk to wheels trough time
Great place for these treasures....

Is this the guy from American pickers?
Yes Dave Ohrt was on American Pickers
steve is bruce lee good friend i believe bruce will sit on his bike and take some picture
You can move bike and artwork. Someone else (Jay Leno) should buy it out and hide it from the world forever as revenge.

Putting a motorcycle museum in Iowa was a horrible business decision in the first place. Sturgis or Dayton would make more sense.
i always wanted "Gothgirl" not the bike , the girl!
Sad
Just off the top of my head, this should have been moved to Daytona, LA or Las Vegas. Such a shame.
Just before everything goes woke.
No way
I have been there years ago with my wife and Travis Bradley his wife all the way from beckville tx
Some nice bikes. Most are regular blah.
Music is horrible
It's not rap or hip hop that gets high marks from me
@@MrMartman777 Excellent music IMO.
It's free stock music that you don't have to pay for. Are you gonna pay for the music for their next video? Didn't think so.
