from the pic of the outside I thought it might have been the motor museum down in/near levin. Looks bloody amazing, would be great if I ever manage to get to alabama.

I want to cry. Such a place exists but it is sooooooo far away. That place is on my One Day .... list, along with doing laps of the full Nurburgring on a bike and scoring a few laps on a MotoGP bike.

A search of Google brings up a whole lot more pics from the Barber Museum.

The official site doesn't show many images, probably for security reasons.

You can even do a lap of the track

Michael Jackson created WonderLand, but this place is the true WonderLand.

EDIT Barber even got the last production Buell

that's where I am going.

Finally someone has actually shown me what heaven looks like, that is something that even a cynical old atheist like me can believe in.

Just Stumbled across this myself. The high resolution pics on the website make this worth spending a lot of time over.
