Barber Motorsports Museum!

[lhemrick]

My son and I recently made a trip to Birmingham, AL to the Barber Motorsports Museum and thought I would post some pictures. This is just a fraction of the machines that you will see inside but these are a few pics of what can be seen in the antique or motor assist section of the museum. Makes me proud of "My old school creation" because after seeing some early 1900's bikes I think I got pretty close, go check it out in the picture gallery. Enjoy!

I don't know what else I can say, anyone who knows me knows that my passion lies in the earliest of the machineries. When I think of those old machines, and what ti took to ride them, what with all the levers, knobs, oil cups, etc. Well those machines really made you WORK for your ride, and made you really appreciate the ride!
