[www.keralites.net] Bike museum....awesome!

 

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

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.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

The entrance road to Barber Motorsports Park. George Barber sure knows how to build 'em.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Outside the Barber Museum; at first, it looks somewhat odd. Then very, very cool.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

The Barber Museum, or as Chris likes to believe, his winning Mega-Millions ticket house.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

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.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

And to our left, vintage racers worth more than a house.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

When you have this many, you store them like matchbox cars. Only these are full sized, mint, and incredible.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

The Vincent Black Shadow. If you have to ask, try Google.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Onboard the first true Hayabusa, aka the Black Shadow.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

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.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

What, no tassles?

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Hey, George Barber stacks his bikes on a Christmas tree just like you do. Or not.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

BMW should make this TODAY.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Professor Ted trying to look innocent after being asked twice by security to stop trying to start the F1 car.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Unobtainable Bimota bodywork? Let's hang it from the ceiling, shall we?

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

John Surtees, the only man ever to win both Moto GP and F1 championships. Wouldn't mind seeing a Rossi display down the road...

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Much to the dismay of the other patrons, Professor Ted sounds just like a KZ1000R.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

There's not a bike here we don't salivate over. Forget Pavlov's dog, just thumb a starter.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Ducati & Hailwood = Cool. Every single time.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Hailwood makes Chris weepy and nostalgic.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Onboard with Hailwood. Have fun lapping the Isle.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Back when Biaggi was a great rider without an annoying ego, Aprilia built a replica of his championship 250 GP bike.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

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?"

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Still salivating.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

The greatest purpose-built motorcycle ever, the Britten V1000. Explore its history, it truly is one of a kind.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Here's a game for you. Find the parts that weren't meticulously hand built to engineering perfection.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Onboard the Britten.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Paul Smart replica, anyone?

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

That's the guy that started it all.....GET HIM!

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Absolutely right.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Why deal with the overzealous security guards at Daytona when you can build your own banking?

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I love you...

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Apparently Miguel's dad used to ride a little bit too...

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Supermono. Like regular mono, only better.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Onboard the Supermono. Ohlins, Brembo, magnesium and carbon fiber....Mmmm...yummy

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

The Honda NR750. Oval pistons, gear driven cams, and sensible mirrors.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

In case you were wondering why they built it.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Nice tail.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Onboard the NR750.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Grab your leather cap and check out the vintage bikes.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Board track racing. These were brave individuals indeed...

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

There is no way to include every excellent vehicle displayed at the Barber Museum on this little web page; if you're an enthusiast, we highly recommend going to Birmingham Alabama and checking it out!
