I was born in 1939, and motorcycles are my passion.

[@shawngraham4902]

That's awesome My dad was born in 39 and gives me hell for riding and says its a waste of time and money Good to see someone from that generation that sees enjoyment in motorcycles👍

[@_Napoletano_]

@@shawngraham4902 sounds like my grandfather. Im 42 and everytime i see him he gives me hell for riding just like he gave my father and uncle hell for riding 😆

[@NyphronRising]

That old tour guide had insane knowledge. Thanks Senior for taking us on such an incredible tour of a place many of us will never get to see.

[@eskayler66]

I was there for 5 days in a row. We were allowed to go to the warehouse with about 500 more bikes to be restored. Planning on going back this year for another five days!

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Awesome

[@rattyratstuff7125]

as someone who feels compelled to read every word multiple times. how long should my trip be? i plan on road tripping a 2005 ebr{erik buell racing} xb12R in 2003 powder blue. supposedly the only one publicly sold and i thought it would be neat to show them when im down in biker heaven

[@grontek]

I was two days only but I would like to go again.

[@sidebite2533]

That Black Dunstal the one you whistled at is absolutely BREATHTAKING!!! I backed the video up 5 seconds and paused it. Just stared at it for quite a bit....My heart is fluttering 💙😍

[@aoakeen]

I can't wait to go back in a few weeks. love seeing the bikes esp the ones you grew up on riding etc.

[@tescr500]

I'm still picking up my jaw. I restored a Kawasaki KR1 few years back. I can appreciate the time and effort gone into this AMAZING .

[@kennyforgot83]

Allen Millyard makes those bikes in his garage at home and often with very basic tools like a hacksaw to chop the blocks etc down. He has a KZbin channel which I would advise watching if your interested in how he made those wonderful machines that are displayed in the barber museum as an eye opener to how much of a talented engineer he is.

[@robertblanchard6196]

Can't think of anyone better to give a tour of that place!

[@lanceandmelanierogers6255]

You are very correct on innovation through our lifetime. I was born in 65 also and started riding in 75. Thank you for taking us along

[@realdeal1811]

Funny watching you drool over all Barbers bikes, now you know how us normal folk feel watching your videos

[@richardhuff8201]

Have a 2007 xb12r in my garage right now and love the bike . Will never get rid of it. I am 55 years young and feel younger when I ride it. God bless America to!

[@pittss2c601]

I've been there at least 3 times. I am just like you...giddy as can be as soon as I walk in. If you like the 'art of the motorcycle' you'll love this world class museum. The building is actually a parking garage that they turned into a museum. I was lucky enough once to see the other 900 motorcycles in the basement with one of the docents. It's a must see place. I was also luck to meet George Barber that day. Well done video. Much appreciated since it's been 2 years since I've been there. You know your bikes!

[@carlmisuraca2415]

Hey folks, this is Carl, your NEMM Roaming Diplomat. This is certainly the most complete tour of this museum you will get short of visiting it yourself! I can't wait to get to Barber! I'm truly amazed by what I've seen in here! Yes, I watched the entire video! So much history!!

[@Saveourfreedom]

For a Motor Sports Enthusiast it s a must be to visit this awesome Place. Wonderful Video!

[@DStabs720]

How could someone dislike this video. Absolutely amazing. Need to make a trip ASAP!

[@sidebite2533]

You have to have an insane sick brain to share your negative 👎 crap with something as beautiful and educational as this video. Makes my stomach hurt thinking of all the awful rotten inside & out people that are just pooping out child after child that are brought up like ravinous hyenas.

[@DStabs720]

@@sidebite2533 what are you talking about?

[@jonberry9584]

Been to Barber's many times...and every time I am in the area. It is a must-see.

[@bksstuart2947]

Thanks for uploading this nice video. I enjoyed visiting the Barber Vintage Museum on Jan.3,2021. To anyone that can make an opportunity to visit this museum, be sure to see it through!

[@garycrisp429]

What a magnificent museum, you could spend a year there and still miss something. You'd make a great guide to go around with Ken with your knowledge, but what a great place to visit & recognise the bikes from your era and loads of heritage alike.

[@TheAustin999999]

The fact that I lived 20 minutes away from this place and watching the indie races here every year was such a great time.

[@junestrada1619]

From the bottom of my heart...thank you for posting this!!!!!!

by a million miles the most impressive museum I have ever seen, and I've been to museums all over Europe and America, the Americans really know how to do museums.

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Yez sir

[@MotorcyclerideCyprus]

The most incredible array of Motorcycles! covering all Manufactures! over an incredible number of years! certainly a bucket list! to come and see this amazing collection! Thank you so much for bringing this to the masses!

[@Vintagemotorcyclerescue]

Nice to see my 1972 Honda CL350 Green Flying Dragon so prominently displayed at Barber, such an honor to be there!

[@leehepton7091]

Kenny I thought your museum was big this place is massive if ever I am in America I will visit your place and this place don't forget man love makes the world go round

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

Kenny’s is historical landmark

[@brinkee7674]

@@tbone67gthenderson78 Yes and to be honest as buildings go I like Ken's joint better. Yes due to modern amenities and such Barber's might be a 'neater' structure due to tech but nothing can replace an old building with exposed beams and such. You get to see the bones of the place. I come from a building background and specialized in renovation/restoration of old buildings. I think part of the old buildings are the respect I have to the folks that built them and what they accomplished with what we would consider simple tools. Just think no power drills, no power saws, chisels and no real tape measure to just begin. An old building has a kind of warmth about it and I don't mean heat as they are usually cold due to lack of insulation. Well they may have had power tools but you couldn't bring them to the job with you as they were massive in size and weight, never mind the power for such equipment

[@chrisallen6858]

I agree with your statement about the innovation era of 1965-1985 for motorcycles (born in 1964). We took a family ride to Laguna Seca in 1982 to watch King Kenny Roberts sweep the floors with competition wheeling past the worlds best! We rode down father and sons on a CBX/6, CB550/4 and 350/2 Honda innovation! Favorite bike for me was Robert’s TZ750 2 stroke dirt tracker! That was nothing but good times!

[@markjurczyk]

This is the most amazing place, Mr Barber is the man !!!!

Wow....all the best under one roof. Without people and places like this these bikes would be forgotten about. Really really cool. I could spend 2days in there and not see everything i bet. ✌

What kind of bike lover wouldn't enjoy spending an entire day looking around there! - Had a 1970 XLCH, it moved.

All due respect Mr. Kaplan, the 1973 Honda Cr 250 is the M model. The R models were later. Great work of keeping these time machines alive for us who grew up riding these and today still feel like kids. Thank You.

I can't believe that the 75 Honda Gold Wing barely was recognized. It is the first bike to start the touring craze. Nothing up till then and now will ever compare to the smoothness and comfort of this touring motorcycle. Definitely a landmark motorcycle.
