I live about 3.5 hrs away, Always up for a Barbers day trip. Give me a shout.
I probably enjoyed my trip to Barber this time more than any of the previous
Spent the most time in the museum than I had ever spent before. Checked out the new wing as good as could be done without actually being able to go in it.
The facility and the whole place is just a treasure and so well done and maintained, it's really something to be proud of.
The vintage races were amazing too.
My CB attracted lots of attention, comments, questions - everything you've come to expect. Barber is a pretty cool Mecca, and I understand there's some excellent roads near by. Maybe a place to consider a future rally
Ok everyone, For those of you who have not made it to Barber, Put it on your calendar to go. I've gone and at that time I lived in California. It is simply beyond description of what you see and experience. I went during the Vintage Festival and would go again. There is just so much to take in and the grounds are so spread out you don't feel like you're at a ball game. If some of you are fortunate to live so close I would just buy a pass or it would be a great place to volunteer. There is no other place on earth you can see so many motorcycles from all over the world and the collection continues to grow. Russ
