I subscribe to Motorcycle Classics magazine and get their e-newsletter. The subject above was the title of the main story. It appears that the owner of the Museum, Dale Walksler is selling off a major portion of his collection and moving out of Maggie Valley NC. Motorcycle Classics This is truly sad news if it's true. I visited there last October and thought it was an outstanding tribute to the history of motorcycles.

Sounds more like they are keeping what they have and looking for room to add more. Would be a real shame to break up that collection.

If it still there I will let you all know. I am planing on going to the thunder in the valley in April and was planing on stopping in. I went there a couple of years ago. It's a cool place, but they only have American bikes.
