Birmingham Alabama is home to one of the world's premier motorsports museums. Founded in 1988, it is home to literally thousands of motorcycles and many of the most famous race cars as well. Almost a thousand bikes are on display, most in original or near original condition and capable of operation within one hour. The facility allows the visitor the luxury of close inspection and even photography for personal use. Information is available by telephone (205)699-7275 or online at www.barbermuseum.org.
