Eric,
 when you get down here to 'Bama, make sure you visit the Barber Motorsports museum.
It is near Birmingham, and is the Gugenheim of motorcycle museums.
Keep the round side down.

That is exactly where were are riding to for a two day visit while on our club run. I'm leaving April 10th for a leisurely ride solo down to The Ironhorse Motorcycle Lodge and Resort in Stecoah, North Carolina. I'll be meeting up with about 14 of my fellow Long Island BMW Riders Club members for local rides there, but yes, "The Barber" in Leeds, Alabama is one of our destinations on this tour for us. Thanks for the heads up on it. Not ashamed, I have attached a photograph of me with my current steed one foggy morning at the Fire Island, NY lighthouse / water tower.

Just checked the maps and Wheels through Time is pretty close to Stecoah, NC where our headquarters for this tour resides. I may make the time to visit it as I'll be breaking away from the rest of the club members anyway after the main part of our ride and will be going solo to meet up with RichardS from the forum after ten years of just over the phone and eMail conversations. He and his wife are on my "Bucket List" of people I must meet in my lifetime.

Your room is ready and waiting at Critter Creek, Eric. Lord, I'll even move the Cadillac out of the car port to make room for your bike.  8)

FYI there is a farmie on GB right now for under $1400.

Real nice piece. It does have a few very minor blemishes and says its unfired. Looking at the slide rails it appears that it is. It's in TN.

It looks as though it's the one that was recently listed on here in the classified section.# 541
