    Default Bike and Lotus fans v. Prepare for new pants!

    So, I went down to Barber Motorsports Park for the Porsche driving school (amazing!!!). And, stopped by the Barber Motorcycle museum, which is on the premises.

    I'm a motorcycle fan so I knew it was going to be interesting right away. However, I was blown away by what was there. It was straight up redonkulous, you could spend days in there.

    Stats:
    5 floors
    1100 bikes on display, worlds largest motorcycle collection
    worlds largest collection of Lotus race cars
    500+ bikes in the warehouse getting prepped for eventual display
    every single bike works and can be run on the track.

    Pictures! Enjoy. I'd give a description for them, but don't feel like typing all that out lol.

    I'll have to go there for the Superbike weekend this year. Kevin Schwantz moved his school there from Road Atlanta.

    Did you get a picture of the Bimota 500 V Due? It was a shit bike but somehow interesting.

    That place is great. They've added a lot of stuff since i've been there. I love how you can be looking through the museum, and then look out the back to see any action that's happening on the track.
