2011 BARBER VINTAGE RACE part 2


Here is just one of the many, many Ducati's that were at the Ducati tent and there were tons more everywhere else!






Very nice 750cc Ducati and if you look closely at the side of the tank you can see the plexiglass "sight glass" down the side.




Horizontal mono shock just looks so cool...






This was a custom built bike by a member on the dotheton.com forum. really, really nice work and it won bike of the month on "do the ton".












Who knew a Virago could look this COOL! I've been seeing more and more of these bikes being customized on line and they always just look wicked.







The triple engine beast slaying Norton! What a fun engine that would be to build!









I really like the Honda CX's and this one is just too cool. I gotta say that at first I wasn't too hip on this style seat but I think that one day I'll have one on one of my projects.







We talked to the guy that built this bike for quite a while. He's out of Connecticut and brought two super nice examples of cafe' Honda's. They were both clean and the attention to detail was great as was the creativity of a lot of the small part modifications.





Barber had great areas like this all over. Nice tree covered areas that overlooked the race track and with the weather being so nice it couldn't be beat.





Here is just one quick shot of what the place looked like. All the bikes in this shot were ridden there and belong to spectators. The bikes are allowed to park along the road which makes it great for a continual "show" as you walk from place to place.
