I've been watching the show for two seasons and went to his museum last year as it's less than an hour away from me.  While we were there we ran into Dale and he took a picture with us.  The museum is extremely well done.  It's not just a big building with rows of bikes.  He's set up period correct surroundings depending on the themes of the bikes on display.  Although it's only American made bikes, it's worth the trip.  Dale and his son are pretty nice guys and do a lot of charity work for military veterans.

I've been there and agree that it's worth going through. Well done with very interesting displays and bikes (most of which run). There are black marks on the floor where Dale does burnouts with some of the old bikes.  He's usually around and talks to visitors.
