In this episode of Corbin’s Ride On, we’re heading to Maggie Valley, NC to look inside the museum called Wheels Through Time!  Plus you’ll see the high-tech operations inside J&P Cycles, & in Shop Talk we’ll help you set up your bike for the drag strip.

Wheels Through Time
Dale Walksler has been an avid collector & restorer of vintage motorcycles for years.  In the early ‘90s he built a museum in Mt. Vernon, IL next to his dealership to house & display his growing collection.  & in the late ‘90s he moved the entire shebang to Maggie Valley, NC, where Wheels Through Time has become the centerpiece of this motorcycle-friendly town.  Dale gave us the tour of WTT where every bike starts & runs – from a 1909 Harley to early Indian & Excelsior board trackers, rare Harley hill climbers, racers like a ’47 Crocker & many, many more.  There’s a repro of a ‘50s Harley dealership, the Women in Motorcycling display – well, take a look – you’ll be planning your own trip to Maggie Valley!
