Located in Leeds (Birmingham) Alabama.

I'm going most likely on the 8th. Who else will be there?

As last year was my 4th visit, I've decided to go every 2nd year instead. Have fun, let us know what's in the museum expansion! Cheers! 8-)
ps: Any biker from the East/South really should try to make it. Lollapalooza for bikes! BIKEAPALOOZA!

I have seen the size of the initial museum, but haven't stuck my head in since they did the recent expansion. It is no doubt a master display of bikes and supposedly the largest private collection of (I think) Lotus cars, among some others.

Back in the mid-90's I had the pleasure of attending "The Art of the Motorcycle" at the Guggenheim Museum. It was awe inspiring. That show introduced me to motorcycles that I never knew existed. I would love that type of experience again and I believe that the Barber collection is the closest I'll find.

Every biker should do this show once at least. You can get a sniff of it on u-tube, but you really need to be there! Lots of bargains in the flea market! 8-)

Yes, and specifically this Vintage Festival each October. If you come any other time of year you can still see the museum, but you are missing A LOT of other cool stuff that occurs at this annual event.

Just thought: The Buchanan guy from Spoke and Rim is usually on site/display, good to talk to, also Cone Engineering is usually there, good source of info, plus bunch of other aftermarket suppliers. Try it, you'll like it!. 8-)
