VMD 2006 - MV Agusta

When I'm not lurking behind a camera I sometimes contract to organize historical motorcycle exhibits, so I go from Cameraman to Museum Curator. Vintage Motorcycle Days (or VMD as it's known) offers a unique oppertunity to really expolore the history because of the size of the display so from my love of Italian motorcycle history perspective, it's impossible to resist the chance to "show off the history". In 2006, the featured marque was MV Agusta and Agostini was coming, how could I resist?Join me for "how I spent my summer vacation".

Barbers Museum in Leeds Alabama brought this stunning Ago racer as well as the Surtees bike on the right. Incredibly valuable, loaned to us for the weekend on a handshake, these guys are guinely committed to bringing the history to the public and go to a lot of trouble to do it. If you haven't visited Barbers museum in Leeds, Alabama, it's a must do trip for bike lovers. For me it's more like a pilgrimage where I go to worship!
