I had to go to Birmingham for a business trip on Monday and I found myself with a couple of free hours. I went to the Barber Motorcycle Museum outside of town. They had an 86 RR1000, RR1200, RSS 1200, Westwind and even a new EBR 1190RS. Fantastic Museum. If you ever get to Birmingham, you have to see it. I liked it much more than the Harley Museum in Milwaukee.

What you saw on display only scratches the surface of what there is.

Most excellent place to visit. I could lose an entire weekend or more in there. Making plans to go back again.

The very best time there is their Vintage Bike Days. I believe the first weekend in October. Vintage Racing on their great track, a swap meet, lectures, and an auction. Preferential parking for motorcycles. Each Year they feature a different marque. The year I went was Moto Guzzi. Also some good windy country roads. I believe their website is BarberMotorsports.com

Yup. Barber in October for Vintage Days is the best I've been to. Racing, swap meet, auctions, beautiful grounds, the Museum that over looks the track. The Vintage Japanese club puts a nice breakfast on Saturday morning. It' an annual event I try not to miss!

That Carbon Edition 1190 is serial number 1.

I like how the place is laid out. One floor overlooks the one below it.

The Board Track racing display is pretty awesome.

I would really hate to be the crew that dusted the place. Then again...
