Hey folks- I'm heading to Barber with 2 buds to do the Inside Track Day event on 10/28-29. TALK ABOUT STOKED.

Who's been to Barber? What's the track like, and the museum? Best approaches to spend time wisely at both places?

Any speculation on the bonusness of an 1125R in such a setting?

I can tell you that you will love the track and the museum. It would be worth it to spend a extra day just to spend time at the museum, I have been there 3 times I always wished I had more time.

go a day early to see the museum, you'll want several hours there.

Check the 1125R minisite for videos onboard the 1125R around the track.

If you're bringing non-riding friends have them take a camera (video/still) while you're on the track and shoot video of you. The'll also be able to get on the roof of the main building.

great track, lots of big corners. I've run my FJR at CLASS there and a 07 ZX6R with Superbike School. Fun place.

Barber is like the best roller coaster you can ride, cuz you control the speed!

I have yet to get to the museum, I spent two days on the track!

mmmm... Barber...






Couldn't help myself.

Go slow first session and learn a little about the track.

Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the experience!

Is this a Inside Pass event or Sportbike Track Time event? I can't find anything on the Buell website that says they added another track day....
I would love to ride Barber!

From what i've been told it's a HD/Buell dealer day, not a track day.

I didn't see Barber on the schedule on the Buell site. Why isn't it there? How did I miss it?

Monday the 29th is a Dealer day, dealers get training on the 1125R and get to do some laps on the track.

No Inside Pass on the 29th, I wish it was...

I think STT has a track day on Sat.27th/Sun.28th

I'll be at every Inside Pass track day that they put on at Barber. I love that track.

Me too, got to say thats one of the best all around tracks in the country and the museum rocks. Its top shelf all the way, I could spend hours just walking around looking at all the bikes.
