Rudy died and went to motorcycle heaven today. Yesterday was all freeway so today we gave ourselves a little treat and road some back roads into Birmingham.
Enroute to our final destination we stopped at a place I read about called the Barber Antique Motorcycle Museum. I thought this might be a nice little stop for us, but I had no idea we were about to step into the most incredible collection of motorcycles I think anyone on this planet might own. There are not words enough to explain the breadth and quality of this collection. It was mind blowing. Who would have thunk you would find such a gem in Birmingham, AL.
