Museum at Barber Motorsports Park...Well Worth the trip

Went to go see the Honda superbike race at the BMP and had a great time. Whitedevil, my Dad, my 11 year old Dusty and myself left Friday, 17th under not so great conditions, but had a great time anyway...the races where great, just wish I where up on the riders and bikes better, and the BMP is a wonderful setup and very beautiful. Every attention to detail....Kudoes to Mr. Barber.......Now to the good part, Make every effort possible to go to the museum, the motorcycles are top knotch and are displayed wonderfully and I saw bikes I haven't seen or thought about in years and a lot I didn't know exsisted, It is a must see!!!!!

Bikes on the wall



They had the door open to his wharehouse. This is just some of the bikes not displayed and some waiting to be restored. A massive collection that just cannot be imagined nor can pic's do it justice, take my word for it and go see, you will not be dissappointed....acy



Twin this one's just for you...a Bultaco Astro 360 and it was in perfect condition...Wanted to cry, put on some leathers and then crank it up...you know the rest!!!
