On a Recent motorcycle trip down to Deals Gap & surrounding areas, we passed through Maggie Valley NC. Home of the Wheels through time Museum. The museum displays over 300 vintage "running" motorcycles owned by the Dale Walksler. Dale Walksler and his staff were very gracious hosts during our visit to the museum & Dale took the time to go over several motorcycles with us, as well as starting them and running them.

A very unique piece was the Traub motorcycle. Dale tells the story himself in this video, found in a wall with no history, possible the worlds most rare motorcycle & it is a thing of absolute beauty. Just like everything else in the museum, the Traub was a running motorcycle, & Dale showed it off for us.

Wheels though time is a must see museum for any motorcycle enthusiast or vehicle enthusiast in general. We spent hours in the museum just lost in the stunning collection of vintage & rare motorcycles, the staff was amazingly friendly & they even let us prop our feet up in the open lounge & browse through 1000's of motorcycle magazines they had on hand that were themselves decades old.

A big thanks to Dale for putting all these motorcycles out for everyone to see, its just too much to take in!

  • I was fishing around and found a Traub family living in Illinois before and around this period. So maybe this is the key to the mystique surrounding this motorcycle.
