Do Not Adjust Your Set
Never has there been a piece of machinery that speaks as though alive like this one does to me. I almost can't talk when I'm around it.
I was lucky enough to see it race at Road Atlanta several years ago, with Nick Ienatsch up, and have been to visit with it several times since. At Road A. we spent many many hours in the pits with it and it's handlers, and Ienatsch was kind enough to try and explain to us what it was like to ride a truly thoroughbred one-off motorcycle.
This is Britten VR1000 Number Seven and it currently resides in the collection at the Barber Motorsports Museum . It is in a place of honor, in that it is the last machine of the 750 or so that are on display. To see it you must walk the most distance, and every step is worth it
More to come of the Britten and the Barber Museum.....

The Barber Museum is at Birmingham Alabama, in the outlying town of Leeds, near Talladega.......
Totally unbelieveable collection of motorcycles, and the largest collection of Lotus machinery on the planet.
KOOL..I must check that out
