Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum

Barber Motorcycle MuseumWant to see 1,100 motorcycles from over 140 manufacturers? Head to the extraordinary Barber museum in Birmingham, Alabama. Just $15 gives you access to five floors and 80,000 square feet of motorcycling nirvana. We’re planning our trip already, but in the meantime, ForzaVale’s excellent Flickr set will have to do. [Thanks to Joe Wagstaff of Western QBE for the tip.]

    Is that The Stig playing the Grand on the ground floor?

      Well spotted! Apparently there are eight Stigs … this would explain it.

    Acually, it’s Mr. Barber’s 70s Lotus racing suit and Helmet. Here’s a short video of the Barber I shot in October ’08: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAlkGy_XY_s

    The flickr link mentioned doesn’t seem to be available anymore… I took a couple photos last year when I went to Barber for the first time. Currently on a 3500+ mile motorcycle trip from Vermont south & went to the vintage festival at Barber last weekend… AMAZING! I’ll post up some more pix (fewer, to be sure) when I get home.
