SO LET’S SEE SOME
BRITISH BIKES ALREADY!
While there are so many bikes there of
every imaginable ilk, this being “From
Across the Pond”, I will focus this article
on what I always focus on: pygmy lion
tamers. What?!
No. Classic British Motorcycles, of
course. So, without further ado, let’s see
some British Iron (in order by year):

YOU’VE GOTTA SEE THIS PLACE!
There are so many bikes at the Barber Museum that it
would be impossible to convey a
true sense of its magnitude on these pages. And it’s not just
bikes. There are engine cutaways, race cars, memorabilia
and much, much more. If you are ever anywhere near
Birmingham, Alabama you must, I repeat YOU MUST
go see this place. For more information on the Barber
Motorsports Museum go to their website at www.
barbermuseum.org. And for the whole store on my visit,
please go to www.classicbritish-motorcycles.com/barber-motorsports-museum.html.
And as always, I welcome you to visit my website www.
Classic-British-Motorcycles.com for more eye-popping
pictures, specs and history about these great old
motorcycles.
