About Us: The Story Behind Vintage 99 Motorcycle Museum

Vintage 99 Motorcycle Museum is more than just a collection of motorcycles; it is a tribute to the passion, camaraderie, and shared experiences that have shaped the Barnes family and the wider community of riders and enthusiasts. Nestled in the East End of Louisville, Kentucky, our museum was born from a father’s deep love for motorcycles and the powerful bonds formed through racing and the community that surrounds this remarkable world.

The name "Vintage 99" holds a special place in our hearts. It honors the memory of Glenn Barnes, a beloved brother and riding partner whose spirit continues to inspire us every day. Glenn's love for the track, his dedication to the sport, and his unwavering sense of brotherhood have left an indelible mark on all of us.

This museum stands as a celebration of that love and legacy—a place where stories of the past come to life through each motorcycle on display. It is our hope that Vintage 99 will be a gathering space for enthusiasts, a bridge between generations, and a reminder of the joy that motorcycles bring to all who ride them.
