Last night there was a Whats In The Barn marathon on Velocity.

While I appreciate what Dale Walkser is doing for vintage motorcycles, that show is the most made up piece of #$%* on TV. If you're ever down in Maggie Valley NC. stop at his museum "Wheels Through Time", you won't regret it. He used to be the local H-D dealer down here in Mt. Vernon, IL. until he sold his dealership and moved down there to open his museum.

Wife and I visited the museum a few years ago.  Well worth it. Amazing place.

None of the reality TV shows are based on one bit of actual reality. But hey, The SOA finale last night was pretty awesome.

The museum is pretty  good,   our friend who does gp bikes recommended we see it while we were in Asheville. I had no idea that they had something to do with a show? I never saw the show but I hear they cut up some nice bikes.

Here's some early raw footage of the Lee Hartung collection without the wheels trough time's guy.

There's a tree fiddy at about 5:15. There was some hours of footage of that stuff in piles, I guess it's now  been edited down into tv.

I lived just down the train tracks from Lee Hartung when I was a kid back in the 70's. We used to walk down the tracks and ogle some of that stuff before he had to start hiding most of it due to zoning changes.
