Barber Vintage Festival, Part Deux

One doesn't have to be C. Auguste Dupin to figure out that I like bikes from Moto Guzzi and Ducati.

While I was snapping away pics at Barber, I made sure to photograph nearly every Guzzi or Ducati I came across.  While I expected a healthy contingent of Ducatis to be there, I was surprised at the number of Guzzis.  Usually there are maybe a handful, if any, Guzzis at all at a bike event.  At Barber, there must have been two dozen or more.

So, to add to my previous post, here are some bikes from Moto Guzzi:

Barber Vintage Festival

This past weekend, I headed down to Birmingham, AL to take in the Barber Vintage Festival.  I'm just now coming down from the sensory overload.

From the facilities to the bikes to the museum, Barber was a fantastic event.  I saw more bikes that I've wanted to ride or own this weekend than I've ever seen in one place.  I will definitely be going back and I recommend that you go, too.  Everything is top notch and the Southern hospitality can't be beat.

I'm going to break my usual format and skip the long-winded rambling.  Instead, I'm going to post some pics I took.  Thanks to digital photography, I was able to take a boatload of pictures and not waste any film. 

Anyway, here is but a sample:

 

 

And, of course, I found Rosie.  She could quite possibly be the most famous new Bonneville ever:

On a side note, I'd once again like to thank Mark and Maxine Downing for their hospitality.  I enjoyed meeting everyone and I look forward to doing it again.
