On Saturday, January 12, 2008, Wheels Through Time Museum curator and founder, Dale Walksler, will be taping segments for two upcoming national media outlets at the 17^th Annual Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Clear Channel Radio’s USA Biker Nation and Speed Television’s American Thunder called on Walksler to provide expert commentary during the world’s largest motorcycle auction in Las Vegas. 

 The first outlet that will work with Walksler over the weekend will be USA Biker Nation, a nationally syndicated radio show provided by Clear Channel Radio.  The show currently airs Saturdays in several major markets around the country including San Francisco, Denver, Minneapolis, Roanoke, Boise and Houston.  Hosted by Peter Boyles of Denver’s KHOW radio, USA Biker Nation is dedicated to providing a voice for members of the “biker nation”, bringing the most up-to-date motorcycle news, events, significant faces in the motorcycle world, and more to all of its listeners.  According to Boyles, the “biker nation” lacked a place they could call their own, which is exactly why USA Biker Nation is on the air.  Broadcast since April 2007, the show has already made its mark on the motorcycling world in a relatively short period of time. 

 “I heard about Wheels Through Time and Dale Walksler through a number of friends of mine, who said it’d be a great feature for the show.   I checked out their website, and I was truly amazed,” said Boyles.  “And with the auction coming up so soon, I couldn’t imagine a better person to provide a bit of commentary for our listeners,”

The second media outlet working with Walksler will be Speed Television’s hit series, American Thunder. For the second straight year, the show will call Walksler to provide commentary from the Las Vegas Auction.  Last year, Walksler and the show’s host, Michele Smith, highlighted several of the rare machines sold over the weekend.  With even more machines up for sale in 2008, look for American Thunder’s coverage in of the auction to be better than ever. 

 “The international flavor of the Las Vegas Auction gives Wheels Through Time an exemplary opportunity to shares its knowledge and contribution to the motorcycle industry with a very broad radio and television audience,” said Walksler.  “We are extremely proud to work with both American Thunder and USA Biker Nation, and hope that all of their viewers and listeners enjoy the broadcasts.”
