Sean is a standup guy. He didn't overly involve himself in Craig's video. He was there but was just helpful and let Craig handle his show. Good to see that while the channels are connected that they are able to make content separately. Can't wait to watch Sean's hype video for the bike (going there now).

Wheels Through Time is in Maggie Valley North Carolina in the mountains. If anyone has not seen the museum do yourself a huge favor and make the trip. There are vintage cars there as well and the decor of various areas and rooms reflects by gone times. Thumbs up for the museum.

I've been wearing WD40 for decades, and I love it. Honestly though, I prefer the smell of an old workshop most of all. There's nothing like the mixture of old grease, oil, steel, and road grime.

What moment in time. Craig, you and everyone involved in the restoration of this rare piece of important Harley History have done something truly special. For putting love into preserving a one of a kind icon of vintage racing History, you guys should know how important and fantastic a thing you have done, this is (Yoda?). I am honored to have been allowed to go on the ride along with you guys all the way to completion! Thank you. I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!
