We've said it before:  Any motorcycle riders even *near* the Southeastern United States simply must visit the Barber Motorsports Museum just outside of Birmingham, Alabama.  It's incredible!

As if it wasn't an awesome collection of motorsports history to begin with, now the Barber Museum's management is announcing plans to expand? The original 140,000 sq ft museum will now see a [100,000 sq ft addition](http://blog.al.com/businessnews/2012/01/barber_motorsports_museum_expa.html) set to break ground this year.  Standing on the inside of the racetrack that loops throughout this "motorsports mecca," a bridge will connect the addition to the original building, allowing visitors to walk over the track and see racing action from a unique perspective.

What was almost certainly the world's greatest motorcycle exhibition will be nearly doubling the reasons for yout to detour on your next great ride.  *Unlike* how some things can be "talked up" too much before you see them, this one won't disappoint!
