BARBER VINTAGE FESTIVAL

T
here are vintage motorcycle events around the world that
command a certain level of respect—think Isle of Man Classic TT,
Goodwood Revival, Phillip Island Classic, the Biker's Classic at
Spa-Franchorchamps. For us here in the U.S., there's the Barber Vintage
Festival in Birmingham, Alabama, a celebration of everything two wheeled
and fast, and for the most part, old. It's grown to be the premier motorcycle
road racing event in the country outside the Austin MotoGP, commanding
spectator numbers and industry support MotoAmerica can only dream of.
