What Separates The RARE From The RAREST?

[@floydrhodesiv5733]

Matt ,you have kept your father's dream alive ,way beyond his expectations ! Your knowledge,n information about every motorcycle is so thorough n accurate. Your passion ,towards each exhibit ,captures the viewer or visitor attention so completely! World class young man !

[@oldrover3007]

Floyd Rhodes , read my mind ! I visited The WTT Museum twice years ago and met Dale and he made me feel like a life long friend . I have supported the Museum ever since and can’t wait to get back down there again someday . I have to say you Matt are doing exactly what he would want you to do . Thank God he had you to step in with the same Passion for Old Motorcycles as he did . You are doing a fantastic job keep up the great work !! (and get checked regularly for whatever it was that got your Dad ,if history repeats itself maybe they can treat in time . I know it’s an terrible thing to think about but that stuff can be hereditary )

[@tmackinator]

Being a British motorcycle guy, this is my favorite channel about bikes. The soul that these bikes have is incredible. You can sense the ghosts of the past who still sit on these machines and the brave (crazy) guys who rode these machines past their intended design parameters.

[@wolfdog7265]

That Reading…. Incredible. Mouth open, trousers falling down…..

[@DougFLTRX]

@@wolfdog7265 you should see it in person. It's even better in person.

[@wolfdog7265]

@@DougFLTRX I bet it is but it is kind of a long travel. Twelve hours or so. The last time I went to California, To the El Mirage lake bed land speed racing with the SCTA and that was a 14 hour flight. Harley Davidson land speed race bike on Nitro/ Nitrous oxide. Great memories.

[@francoismontresmecaniques7082]

More of Guzzi , Norton, Sunbeam or french bike fan of the pre war period... and same, it's my favourtie channel, thanks for sharing the passion ! The Reading is amazing and I get she get the prize in a concourse but I can't help loving that orange Harley, fabulous piece ! btw, the Hispano Suiza at the beginning of the video is gorgeous

[@danielseymour6726]

These bikes prove that Wheels Through Time is also a one of a kind museum itself. Great history lesson Matt.

[@losergamer04]

My bucket list has coming down on my bike to the museum to pay homage to these amazing machines and to thank you in person for all you do. I wouldn’t be riding today were it not for these machines.

[@johnpancap844]

Yes u would, HD was far from the only bike co

[@mikemarthaller8789]

​@@johnpancap844 😃🤣 OBVIOUSLY, have you not noted how many of the "Rare" bikes are not Harleys? Remember its not the miles that make us ride. It is "The smiles" 😆👍

[@geraldcharles1624]

I always look forward to watching every episode. Just wonderful how you and your dad have documented and preserved the rarest motorcycles.

[@veb92168]

Absolutely beautiful bikes ! The Reading Standard though! Wow! Just gorgeous! And what a sound!

[@johnjames9799]

Glad y'all were invited Awesome bikes y'all took Congrats on the winning

[@fearsomename4517]

Matt you picked some beautiful Gems. Great examples of days gone by. Beautiful race machines.

[@davenorgrove3193]

Hey Matt, I have been fortunate enough to spend a fair amount of time with Dave Lietner. That A motor in the rivet tank was purchased from him by your dad. Dave got it from Frank Westfall. There is as bit of a funny story behind the purchase from Frank. Ask Dave about it at Wauseon this summer. Also, according to Dave there is a second Reading race engine. Again, Dave sold it to your dad. Is it still there in the museum somewhere? Love your videos! Hope to make it back to the museum sometime this year.

[@andrewharris3380]

With your enthusiasm and the history behind the bikes, makes it so much more than the amazing bikes you have.

[@BackroadExploits]

WOW, to see you fire up the Reading and watch it run, awesome!! That has to be the coolest motor ever. Congratulations on the awards and invitations! If I known your were going to be at Amelia, I would have gone too. Fantastic video as usual!

[@wolfdog7265]

Wow Matt, guys… This Reading runs NICE!! Like a sowing machine with some bite. She’s trembling as if she wants to GO some place. It’s incredible what you did to this bike. What craftsmanship. A real labour of love.

[@user-ij6xs4ut7j]

How willing were men to go fast back in the day! No brakes or clutch, just climb on and ride! Love it!

[@garypaterson2794]

My eyes are leaking, riding 51 years, my granddad Bricky Williams rode in Pennsylvania and east coast most all of his life also, ride ride ride

[@georgejamison3782]

Looking forward to seeing your great collection of bikes!

[@williamjohnson6517]

I was fortunate enough to visit Wheels Through Time a few years back . Dale was not there but I managed to talk with Matthew who is a super nice and Extremely knowledgeable dude . RIP Dale but this year 2023 my brother in law and friend and I are hopefully heading back there. My friend has never been and we are all chomping at the bit so to speak to visit once again . People say have you been to this rally or that but in terms of American motorcycle history this place is an absolute must if your a biker .👍🇬🇧🇺🇲😎Greetings from OBX North Carolina.

[@adamthompson7064]

Yes! I remember seeing these very same bikes in person during my visits. Stunners all, but the Reading Standard on display is simply breathtaking! I think I must have walked away from and came back to that bike at least four times. Sure is SHINY!! HOLY SMOKES!

[@JRD77VET]

Congrats on the awards and a big thanks for the explanation / story behind each one.

[@daniellynn3240]

This is just so beautiful, I love his illustrations for every motorcycle! Beautiful work, keep the history going.

[@michael61985]

Congratulations wheels through time them bikes are definitely show winners in my book

[@c103110a]

Great job! Thanks for sharing the stories with us!

[@Bostonclassics1]

Amazing care for history. You're Dad is proud and your entire team is doing amazing work.

[@alanvorwald8624]

Great video!! I've been waiting a longtime to see the Reading Standard again! In 1999, I met Dale for the first time. I was with Jim Parker. When I saw the Reading Standard hanging from the ceiling in a glass case, I asked Dale if it ran? He brought it down and started it!! It smoked quite a bit and set off the fire alarm. The fire department showed up!

[@bryonkidder6199]

Thanks to you and your family once again for keeping history alive!

[@keeptwowheelsdown]

Awesome bikes you took, sir! But I would have taken my favorite, thee ace! Also, your pops favorite thee crocker! Keep up your awesome work, sir!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

You guys never cease to amazing Matt...every time I thought I seen the museum, you blow my mind with crazy unbelievable motorcycles....awesome, that orange bike sounded great Matt...

[@daveco1270]

Nice job Matt and WTT crew. I'm planing on a summer road trip to Wheels Through Time. I loved seeing Matt on American Pickers a couple weeks ago. I watch that show for the vintage motorcycles, so that was a dream episode for me.

[@paulaabrams7058]

Thank You Matt 😊 💓 🤗😍🥰

[@2000tc88]

Congratulations Matt and the team. The knowledge you have and share with us mere mortals is nothing short of astounding. I hope to return to the states one day soon and the first place to go on my list will be the museum. I will hope to actually meet you also. All the best from Down Under.

[@fordsrestorations970]

This is by far the best Channel I've seen because since the age of five I have literally spent my life around Antiquities, Air Force Museum , music, bikers, hot rodders.... I learn something every time I tune in to your program..... you guys may be the Indiana Jones of the Wheels Through Time

[@wheelsthroughtime]

Thanks for watching along!

[@pipersall6761]

You know, I understand why you want to leave some bikes in their original 'patina' and all because that tells the story, but man they sure are incredible restored! Beautiful! Awesome story of Dale finding the exact motor for the '29 DAR. The Reading Standard is another true beauty. Congratulations on your wins!

[@demandred1957]

I loved wandering around taking pictures of all these motorcycles, when I was there last fall. Congrats on the wins!

[@pipersall6761]

Congratulations on your entries! Great bikes!

[@davebennett2086]

Thanks for sharing. Love Wheels Thru Time. Been there 3 times, and never long enough. Great friendly staff of good folks. Keep up the great work. Cheers! 😊

[@darenlindley]

Bro.! I love the relationship you have with your Dad even though he is passed. I long for that with my kids. You bring a real tribute to your father and your families genius.

[@johnlenart597]

Hope to get to Maggie again this year., and to see motos that you've been talking about. Seeing them with the history is epic. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@jayjones6904]

Ty Matt and crew for all the hard work

[@michaelbunner1282]

That Reading is one of my favorite bikes that you have there. The intricate controls are amazing. Absolutely stunning!! Keep up the good work Matt. See ya in a couple months!!

[@chrishunter5041]

Congratulations on the awards, your team deserves them.

[@mtnvalley9298]

Thanks for the show! That ported piston is crazy cool.

[@greysuit17]

Congrats on the wins! Excellent bikes.

[@travLee7]

I dont ride but i have so much respect for this page and love watching..

[@dale436]

I was blown away when he started it at the end. It's beautiful, yes, but it ain't just a trailer queen!

[@freyatilly]

That is stunning. Every bike you displayed today is nuts amazing. Utterly gorgeous. And what a sound at the end. Nothing like it. I'm slow to the cingats but you deserved it all via those amazing machines and their restoration. Greetings from UK

[@m-roddr.funtimes3144]

That Reading engineering / design is amazing!! The story behind each one is equally fascinating.

[@monroe7403]

They look majestic and proud with their ribbons and awards, I'm happy they're being seen and enjoyed. I really want that orange Harley.

[@becoming-humble8745]

Please keep making videos, this is my favorite channel. Stay safe , keep doing what makes you happy. AND US TOO.

[@justingreen4450]

Thanks Matt. Keep the content coming.

[@usmclee65]

Thanks Matt. we appreciate that you are keeping us with more great video's !!!!!!!!!!

[@rogerthornburg8794]

Congratulations on winning awards at the Amelia...that is an honor to win awards especially when there was probably ALOT of nice motorcycles there

[@bav114]

That Reading is amazing. I’d never heard of that manufacturer. Apparently there is one in the National Motorcycle Museum here in the UK.

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

WOW! I wish I could have gone to the show.

[@shaneolivier1650]

Wow what an amazing collection and I adore these old bikes,priceless 👌

[@kimiOfDieLinke]

It is incredible how innovative Harley Davidson was. And with the early motorcycles it is stunning how close they look to a bicycle. Amazing video with amazing bikes.

[@paulbryan5685]

Can’t wait to see these bike this fall when we return to the only museum that ya can’t get enough of!

[@vinceburris2538]

Most awesome video I've seen this year. Amazing history and amazing machines.

[@mickgerard6696]

Super stuff guys! The history is worth as much or more than the bike!

[@aragorn469]

Love your enthusiasm Matt!

[@beachbarlouie]

Great job on the video. You improved to the point of KZbin greatness! Because you have great angles, expert knowledge and presentation with no background noise or music.

[@joaobarulho9124]

Incrível!!! Parabéns a voce e o seu falecido pai, um visionário que partiu cedo demais.

[@LittleCowWorkshop]

awesome bikes! congratulations on the awards! the "reading" sounds like a beast!

[@johnchambers427]

Awesome bikes Matt. I know Dale's looking down smiling.. you're doing a great job. And keep the videos coming.

[@XoVoX]

I love that Motorcycles have been more recognized in recent years at The Amelia. Seeing your bikes in person was incredible. I know that you guys do all American, but do you ever come across non American parts?

[@DougFLTRX]

Congratulations Matt! Fantastic examples

[@houston5365]

Amazing bikes. The history of those bikes is remarkable.

[@ThePaintwurks]

Good job Matt!!!I'll be down there to the museum this summer...take care

[@scottsteeves]

The museum is on my bucket list and with only a couple weeks till retirement it will be soon.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

The first Harley featured in this video, has got to be the most beautiful V-twin engine AND exhaust I've ever laid eyes on. It's gorgeous.

[@hdflht01]

I love the fact that WTT is the museum that runs. But OMG, starting this 1 of 1 Reading Standard bike is scary. Sometimes, I'll just take your word for it. 🙂

[@choofish]

I have been to Steve Huntzinger's a couple times back in the 90s and he is one hell of a mechanic and restorer. His Harley single was legendary around Arroyo Grande. I remember seeing a Pope twin and a Sears at his shop.

[@scottarmstrong1172]

Congratulations Matt! That's awesome! Those restored board track racers are so beautiful.

[@soho71]

Wow…. Just wow. My mouth is dry from being open in awe through that whole video. Amazing.

[@wheelsthroughtime]

[@danlovett3697]

So cool 😎 that you can see the piston firing through those lower "supercharge" ports in the cylinder !!! That would be awesome to see running at night....Beautiful bike !

[@cpmunson2807]

I read all about this bike love the museum can’t stop telling people about it. Thank you😅

[@LtJackboot]

You had an inviter for 3 entries to Concours? 'We're not worthy, we're not worthy!' 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@hemi398]

[@toddflowers8052]

CONGRATULATIONS MATT AND WTT !!! 🤙

[@Chainwrangler001]

They are so beautifull!! Did any of those guys run solid tires?

[@ajmachinist]

Thanks guys really enjoy your videos.

[@jamesburns2232]

It's amazing to see the Reading Standard, a 1000cc racing motorcycle from 1909. You can only imagine what this bike cost back in 1909. Back then, you could buy a house for $400. 🏍

[@scottjamison1602]

Wow, the rarest of the rare that actually runs is why you and your family’s legacy and museum is so important to keep alive and handed down to the next generation.

[@dannywoody5497]

So incredible all these racing stories

[@jimbrackna9330]

Wheels Through Time, never ceases to Amaze, Thank God for American Engineering !!!

[@timshaw8187]

Exceptional Matt, what a team a very well done

[@user-ij6xs4ut7j]

Wow! Congratulations! Well deserved no doubt!

[@TheMonolake]

Man. What a Collection !

[@MickOTooleroadglide]

I just Loved the engineering of the bike builder back then, just testing the boundary what good be possible to make HP & fast bike & they did, just listening to the HD 750cc & the Reading 1000cc running today still sounds very impressive, you could only imagine what it was like back then so exciting & great times

[@douglashine9638]

Congrats! What an honor!!! 👏
