The winners of the An- tique Motorcycle Club of America's "Best in Show" was an Indian restored by a father-and-son team, and one of the road-race bikes that made you do a double-take at Barber was the Honda CBX raced by Will Brint. The CBX was built by Bill Brint, owner of specialty shop Tim's CBX in Cornelia, Georgia. When asked what it felt like to race the six-cylin- der beast, Will said with a smile, "Heavy. It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too. I guess I don't know any better."
