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.
I really appreciate that you fire up these machines... yup
Yeah, that’s cool
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.
your knowledge about these old bikes is just unbelievable to me !!!
That's a beautiful storyline how a family trace one of the last motorcycle of that era 👍💕
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.

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.
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.
I wasn't expecting it to sound like that. That thing is a beast!
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
The Flescher Flyer is one hell of a machine for the year! Love it!
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. 👍
I happened to be passing and saw this museum whilst on holiday from the UK. Fabulous place. Enjoyed it very much.
Can't get enough of these old bikes, keep em coming
It's nice to see a piece of American History. Especially motorcycle history.
I had a daydream in the 1900s listening to that beast. Would've been so fun to have one of these then. Even now.
Wow, thank you so much for explaining the details of this rare motorbike and for starting it up. What a true American classic beauty!
FASCINATING TIME MACHINE. GLAD TO SEE IT RUNNING AGAIN!!!!
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.
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.
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?

Nebraska born and raised. I've been waiting for this one. Thank you.
Ty for being part of history brother 😊😊
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" 😀
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!!
Amazing. Kudos to your enterprise preserving priceless history. On my bucket list. THANKS!
What a beautiful place to live and have a museum.
Thank you for your efforts keeping history alive.
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! 😁
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.
Love the fact these are not 'static' machines!. Nice work!. Melboure Australia.
Your Knowledge is to say the least is unbelievable. How you retain this knowlegde is remarkable!
Always enjoy the show I’m glad now I can see you guys streaming online
Never been into motorcycles, but OLD MACHINERY is another thing altogether!
Love to watch the old school Motorcycles run.. great historical background
OMG that thing really makes me smile to here it run... man when it comes to old bikes you guys have saved an incredible amount of history. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge what a great thing you are doing...again Thank You
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.
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!!
What a shot in the arm - inspirational - love that sound - what a feeling - thanks so much 👍
Incredible. I put this museum on my bucketlist too. I live near Denver.
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
Man I wish smell-o-vision was actually a thing. A beautiful bike!
Someday I'm going to go to this museum. Incredible collection of motorcycles from the early days.
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.
Another amazing piece of History I have seen thanks to you... I can't wait to get to the Museum. Gonna have to plant a few extra days for that trip...
What a story! So glad to listen & see it. Thanks brother
On a side note. Nice little video production by a group of guys that normally turn a wrench and screwdriver. Love the history lesson.
thank you for telling the story of the bikes your daddy would be proud
Matt I really love your videos. I ever ride a motorcycle because I disabled.. I like see your place.
That may very well be one of the coolest videos on RUclips! Thanks for sharing the bike with us!
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.
I'm a total motorcycle nerd and I've never heard of that one.
That bike, and the Sears bike look IDENTICAL! Jayman...
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
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.
awesome tie in to the yale! Visiting your museum is on my bucketlist
An amazing piece of history
Great video. I always liked the sound of waking up an old engine.
All your work and vids are brilliant! I can’t understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down. Thumbs up
I love seeing these old bikes like this. great job!
i so want to ride a bike like this one day. What a great piece of history!!!! thanks for the video

So not understand this ...
Its crazy ...
Probably accidental and poor vision.
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.
This channel is amazing. Thank you for all these bikes.....so cool!
Thanks love seeing those bikes
On my bucket list to visit
The sound of that thing gave me goosebumps
This is my life i love my bikes and cars
The machines are awesome but the story is incredible ❤
What a thrill it is to see this bike and your vintage collection. The brilliance and ingenuity of these early years of bikes always excites me so very much, and my great wish is to do a coast to coast trip of the US. What a great inspiration this is. Thanks.
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
And thank you for a very interesting show. I admire the heart and dedication you folks have for these mechanical marvels.
Just found y'all! Will be headed your way soon! Thank you for what you do!
Man , i would love to work there .....that would be my dream !!
the power of that engine sound is crazy, i love this channel
Really cool how everything is hands on and running. American made, made forever..
Wow! What a great video. Your knowledge is a gift to listen to.
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?
I gotta get my cousin down there to see you guys when hes well enough to travel. We both love bikes our whole lives. I still ride. I've been to WTT a few years ago while recovering from a Nast wreck. Your place played a part in me getting back up. I'm hoping it'll do the same for my cousin.
I have got to come up for a visit. This place is awesome!
The sears bike is absolutely beautiful
Another awsome piece of history 👌 so glad you do youtube..this stuff I'm never gonna see being that I'm from Canada 🇨🇦..
Ingenuity by backyard builders in the early 1900’s was incredible. Motorcycles, cars, and airplanes. Tools were crude then compared to machinery today.
love that it runs. so many on display dont.
Amazing! Just think of the access to technology and knowledge back then...true innovation
Man I need to visit you guys! So Much eye candy and wish i had that motorcycle all in one spot!
Come on!
I jave to say my brother....you all jave some awesome old bikes and stuff there...and I can't leave without saying that you are a very knowledgeable person on all of it... I love y'alls museum and wish I could come see it in person...I love history and the engineering that went into machines like them back in the day...
Amazing Motorcycle.....gotta visit this museum when they open back up
As a teenager, I was exposed to collecting glass insulators. I was 9 with my dad in the Northern region of Yukon Territory. I saw a silver line (horizonal) going across a small valley. There was no road to that line so we hiked about 7 KM to where this line was. The land was purchased by my parents the summer of 1969. It sits in Canada. They bought a thousand acres that included the mine, the cabin and 2 other mine shafts. I was born in Whitehorse Canada.
The main mine produced when it was in operation 96,000 ounces of gold before it was closed. There was no road the line was on the sides of tree's with pretty green insulators. We followed the wire to where it intersected a gravel path about the width where a vehicle could go, but the looks of it the path had not been traveled on in some time because there were smaller tree's growing on it. So we hiked the other way. We traveled about 5-7km It came to a log cabin that had partly collapsed down on one corner the Inside the cabin you could see it was mostly a wooden floor, but had rotted away. The opposite corner the brown earth had changed to a burnt Orange color.
We followed the line from the cabin and it ended at a mine entrance. My father found metal ore that was detectable with his Whites metal detector.
I went back to the cabin to check it out closer. I was using a Fischer metal detector and was sweeping near the one wall that was not damaged. My detector was going crazy. Near the bottom of the log where it sat on another log was a piece of wood like a cedar shingle, I pried it away from the log and inside was 5 green quart fruit jars full of what looked like golden beads and larger pieces. My younger brother was in the cabin and he got a tone near the center of the main room. He found a gold chain with smaller chains attached to the larger chain. My mother began taking out the rotten wooden boards when we found a pile of gold medallions hundreds of them, under the floor. We later found out they were one ounce ingots of gold but they had silver, lead or other impurities and were tossed aside for later smelting. Back then a ounce of gold was $1. Every summer I go back to the mines and I do find enough to make my trips worth it. My largest nugget weighs 9 ounces. I have metal detected nearly every square foot of the property. the 3 mine shafts still produce gold ore, silver and platinum, but the platinum is a very small percentage, less than a gram per 100 ounces of gold. Silver and lead is also present.
Summer of 1977 I met a man, he had a junk store in Skagway Alaska. He had a motored bicycle by the name of Rockford. I own a Indian. I bought the bike and a spare frame tank, and engine for $200.00. This bike, I have never seen anything like it and when I search for it on the internet I come away with a zero. It has Montgomery Ward tires with white walls. Montgomery Wards Riverside Tires Model A (1928-32). Sorry for the book.
What an absolute joy , thanks guys
great as always....thank you matt....
You and your dad are the best! God bless!
That's not the only one in the world, I a have one still stored in my metal grain bin. Only thing missing is the drive belt. Good to know there is others. Thanks for the info,!
This is awesome I live in Fremont about 20 miles from Omaha I never heard of this bike until now and I'm building a motorbike replica from the early 1900sI think I found my logo
So glad I left that town..Fremont that is.
@@SC-hs2yg lol I don't blame ya
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
I really have to say I’ve never seen some ones son step into such a vocal hands on roll as this guy and do such a fantastic job.
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 ....
