Barber Motosports Vintage Festival

[Chainshot]

First time I've ever been. What a blast! Vintage racing, swap meet, museum, thousands of vintage bikes and some mini's. I highly recommend it for anyone remotely interested in old bikes. Mostly European and Japanese bikes. Very few of the HD crowd.

One day.
I just want to go for the swap meet. They have to have some mini bikes for sale.:thumbsup:

Great photos. Thanks for sharing. I would love to go to that. A friend of mine drove down this year from Oregon w/another guy who had a bike to sell. I don't know if he sold it or not. My wife and I are planning a trip to the south right now for the first week in November. We are planning to go to the Barber Museum, a flat track motorcycle race in Savannah, Geo., and other points in between. My buddy said we should also go to Huntsville, Ala., to see the NASA rockets, and my wife has in mind to go to the airlines' lost luggage thrift store in Scottsboro, Ala. :thumbsup:

I see that big white lens around your neck :thumbsup::laugh:

Have fun and a safe trip! If you go to Barber, I hear the museum at Talladega is also great and they aren't too far from each other.

I went up Friday morning, did part of the swap meet Friday evening and finished Sunday morning. The wife and I had a great time. Very well organized, there was just as much to see parked from riders coming to the event as what was displayed. Got some photos of a Steens, a couple of Hodaka's and some SL70's I'll get mine posted in a day or so.

Don't miss it next year. It was great! I forgot about Moultrie. Thanks for the reminder.

I needed way more than a day. Learned my lesson for next year. Looking forward to your pics.

I was there September 7th for a visit. Here are a few items from inside the museum that relate to our world.

That's a Vincent lawn mower Tom. I sorta knew they made something like that but that one is the only one I've ever seen. Not exactly what you'd expect to see in the Barber Museum.
