They have 2 Victorys, a yellow Vegas and a Vision. I see them every time I visit but thought it would be cool to share a pic of my favorite bike I've ever had the pleasure of owning in a museum collection.

What are they implying, sitting it next to a Honda Rune? Soon to be history? Great bikes that never caught on? Bikes ahead of their times?

I interpret it as a collection of significance. some of the examples at Barber are old, some are not but all are significant.

After 8 years - I still have people pull out their cameras to take pictures of the SPCSHP. NO other bike will/has had THAT be a regular occurence. So I take the 'museum' reference as 'a compliment' .

It is definitely a compliment. How many people own a bike that the greatest bike museum on the planet has an example of? not many. But all of us do.
