Rode to/from Birmingham, AL (about 800 miles round trip) for the Barber Motorsports Vintage Festival and a Museam tour. This is my 5th time there and if you have never been you should put it on your bucket list. The Vintage Fest is great, bike shows, vendors, vintage road racing, swap meet but it is worth the trip just to go to the museam. 5 stories of motorcycle history.

Awesome! I will certainly plan a visit there in the future, hopefully next year.

99% of the Motorcycles are brand new or restored to brand new. A few are old "as found" but they look almost new as well. You should go sometime if you are ever within a few hundred miles.
Wow that place looks awsome.It is on my bucket list for sure-Thanks for the pics.
V-12 Kawi/1951 Vincent Black Shadow (they have 10 or more Vincents)/ Indian 4/Vincent Amanda Water Scooter (1st personal watercraft)/Vincent Lawn Mower
They also have one of the largest collections of Lotus cars and many novelties including moto-toys and antique outboards. They have several CNC machines and have added a 3D printer to make parts for restorations. Pretty much something for everyone.
I already want to go back!

Thanks again for all the great pictures, wish I was there. I hope New Polaris Indian comes out with four cylinder engine, now that would be very distinct!
Great pics! I hope I can get out there someday.
When is the festival held?
Every year in early October (typically the week before Biketoberfest). I think next year will be the 10th aniversary. The vintage rally is really cool but there is getting to be a crowd. The museam is worth going to anytime. https://barbermotorsports.com/park/Originally Posted by MYSTER REE
Mike, this would make a great place for an F6B gathering for next year.
Think about that...and "possibly" organizing it.
If you do...I "will" be there. You have my word on that !
