Default Barber Vintage Festival

Rode up to Birmingham last weekend for the Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival. I've never seen a more beautiful racetrack and the museum full of vintage motorcycles was spectacular.



Tom rode up from Mexico Beach on his Ultra and Mark rode his Ruckus from Destin.

...and motorcycle races. Old guys on old bikes, how cool is that.
different classes including a century class for ancient bikes.




I heard Barber described as a racetrack dropped into the middle of a golf course.
