Yes, this is the entrance to Barber Motorsports Park. Fortunately they don't discriminate against happy-go-lucky idiots who love riding motorcycles. The Professor and Chris demonstrate.

The entrance road to Barber Motorsports Park. George Barber sure knows how to build 'em. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:37:35 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_03.jpg)
Outside the Barber Museum; at first, it looks somewhat odd. Then very, very cool. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:37:59 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_04.jpg)
The Barber Museum, or as Chris likes to believe, his winning Mega-Millions ticket house. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:38:25 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_05.jpg)
Come on in, it's a museum. No really, it is. Now use the Van Gogh to wipe your feet, because the real artwork is straight ahead. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:38:58 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_06.jpg)

When you have this many, you store them like matchbox cars. Only these are full sized, mint, and incredible. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:39:56 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_08.jpg)

Vintage military motorcycles, looking like they're fresh off the showroom floor. Professor Ted says he tried several times, but the guns don't fire.

John Surtees, the only man ever to win both Moto GP and F1 championships. Wouldn't mind seeing a Rossi display down the road... Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:48:11 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_17.jpg)
Much to the dismay of the other patrons, Professor Ted sounds just like a KZ1000R. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 05:48:48 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_18.jpg)

Back when Biaggi was a great rider without an annoying ego, Aprilia built a replica of his championship 250 GP bike. Title: Re: Most Amazing Motor Bikes Museum Post by: dilshad on January 24, 2012, 06:01:11 AM (http://800013.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/bikes/motorbikes_museum_barber_23.jpg)
The Bimota V-Due. If it could talk, it would say "Hi - I'm going to bankrupt a factory while never running quite right. What are you up to?"
