Barber Motorsports Museum, Birmingham, Alabama (April 26, 2024)

If you are into motorcycles and some amazing cars, this is your museum. Literally the largest motorcycle museum in the world with over 1100 motorcycles on display. Just remarkable, which really doesn't do the word remarkable justice. All sorts of Lotus cars (again, the largest collection) and some really rare cars such as the one at left which was owned by The Beatles. There is also a road course there. IndyCar ran a race there three days after our visit, practice can be seen in the first bottom photo of two of the cars. Our second visit to this museum, hopefully not the last !
