    Going to Barber Day 1 travel to Brother-in-laws in LaFayett Alabama. Birth place of Joe Lewis! They had burgers and brews waiting on us. Picture of his toys.

    Day 2 Traveled to Hotel in Chehaw state Park to drop off luggage. Highest point in Alabama. Nice road up to park 481 IIRC. Then 60 miles to Barber this place is amazing Like Disney for motorcycle nuts! Not a piece of trash on the ground or a blade of grass uncut. Just Beautiful rivals some golf courses! Watched Vintage racing, twin cylinder 4 and 2 strokes quite a different sound from what I'm used to. Strolled the swap meet and parking areas every sort of motorcycle you could imagine and some you could never dream up. More pictures to follow. 20171006_102732.jpg 20171006_102742.jpg 20171006_102840.jpg 20171006_104350.jpg 20171006_135900.jpg 20171006_153959.jpg 20171006_155117.jpg 20171006_155121.jpg 20171006_155407.jpg

    Vintage Japanese Motorcycle club (VJMC) had a nice display. Highlight being The only RC30 I have seen in person. Beautiful, just beautiful wish I could have heard it run. I can't upload pictures for some reason. I'll try to open another thread and see if that works.

    Barber is the best place on earth, if you like motorcycles.

    In the shop they had a 1/3rd size, full working model of an Indian racer. They have all kinds of great bikes.
