Barber Musumn

When I was in Atlanta living  off Lori and Chris for free,  they mentioned the world famous Barber Vintage Motorcycle Museum, which is located a couple of hours north of where they live.  I jumped at the opportunity to visit. It is not every day you get to see such an amazing collection of rare and vintage bikes. It is truly an astounding place that every biker should try to visit at least once.  It is considered the largest motorcycle display any where in the world.

On the way there we  go past the famous  talladega superspeedway, which is also bloody impressive and just mind boggling, there is one thing you go to say for the Americans, they never do anything in small sizes!

Of course it meant I got to tick of another state I have visited, which now makes 4!

Many thanks to Lori for providing most of these pics....I am a crap photographer, mainly cause I am a lazy bugger....

As usual click on the pictures for full size.

My favourite is the white BMW with side car, such a classic.

So George and Geoff, here are a few pics for you....

      Brenda, I did consider myself lucky that is for sure. It is not as if Alabama is close by for us. But I tell you what it is well worth making an excursion to visit.

    Cheers for that Rog!

    I think I'd have to send Jennie away for a day (or 2) so that I could do it properly. Wonderful place!

      Mate, you would be like a kid in a candy store if you ever go. To read all the "notes" on every bike would take a week...

      You are lucky you have such a place close by. You actually only want to go back so you can go to the Bass Pro shop next door and laugh at all the guys in cameo...

    As Geoff alluded to...I'd have to do this on my own. I can sense Heather's eyes rolling back in her head for me even thinking about going let alone mentioning it. How was the building? Maybe I could play the architecture card :)

    Oh, I would want to read each card, too.

    After your shooting experience, I thought that you'd go for the military sidecar rig with the gun mount.

    Nice photos.
