wheels through time...

Is this the same “What’s in the barn” TV show that ran awhile back. If so, I would go in a heartbeat.

 

Yup

 

My GF and I flew to New Orleans, rented bikes from Eagle Rider and rode up the Natchez Trace trail all the way to Deal's Gap and hammered every stinking windy road up there. Made an extra stop at WTT even though the timing was bad (2600 miles in 10 days) and was WELL worth it! So much cools stuff!

 

sooo...its about 5-6 hrs from me... and from all the input excited..thanks all!! and planning on 3 day wknd to just chill and enjoy...any recommendations on places to stay food etc. close by? seen granny's was brought up ...is everything relatively close? or we talking an hr or 2 ?? greatly appreciated...thank you all ..

 

I live about 2.5 hrs from WTT. Been there a few times. Neat place. Best trip there was with my dad riding in sidecar of my Ural!!

 

The have some very unibtainium parts in the back for some of those old bikes. Parts that barber hisself has called and ask about buying but told no. Dale was awesome. RIP

 

There isn’t much in Maggie Valley except WTT but 19 runs into the Qualla Boundary where the town of Cherokee is... if you like history or want to expand your horizons, go to the museum, it’s free, and then see Unto these Hills production that explains how our people fought and protected our place of beginning by the grace, bravery and violence of Tsali. Then ride into the GSMNP via 441 and have more fun. Granny’s is great and a fellow racer/bbser and great long time friend of mine owned.

Or you can go to the “Rez” and the casinos and buy ridiculous trinkets from the chiefing ones...

I’d strongly suggest the first option have fun! Be safe! learn and enjoy!

 

If your a motorcycle geek and like history this is the place. On his 60th birthday he started 60 of those motorcycles, believe all or most of the bikes on the floor run.
We made a 3 day trip, rented a log cabin. Next day, searched out some good eats and did the museum nice way to speed a day.

Keep in mind, this is NOT Barber, the owners travel in different circles.

 

ride over to Franklin, NC and grab a bite at Cafe Rel !!!

 

thats a great statment. We had a great full day there. also great area for motorcycle ridding. tail of the dragon isn't very far if you've never been there.

 

They did a tour several years ago going around to various museums. I saw the display in Orlando and man it was worth it. I imagine their home base is even better.

 

^^^ This!

And, if you’re into hiking, no better outfitter than Outdoor 76.

 

Ask for Andy (if he is still there) tell him I sent you to ask about The Traub.. you won't regret it.

 

Thanks to all of you, I love anything with 2 wheels and history learning will be great... I'm going to try and reach out to see what future schedules look like.. for 4-5 hrs there and back plus day or so to chill.... gota say I'm super excited!! Thanks To everyone !
