I spent 4 days at the Barber race track w/ my better half a few yrs ago. Probably some of the most fun I’ve ever had.


Didn’t make it to the motorcycle museum unfortunately. The guy that owns the land, the track and the museum apparently made a small fortune in real estate. I remember staying at some hotel not too far away with multiple golf courses that was gorgeous.


Excellent racetrack. Very nice facilities. Top notch!

When your in the museum, look down to the area where they do work.
My understanding is that there is another floor below that one that you can't see (unless you know the right person) but has the really cool stuff.

I haven’t been in a couple of years, but for about 10 years every Spring we’d get a group together and ride down there. It’s about 4 hours from here, so it was a lot of folks first “long” ride. Really cool place.
