As the moto world returned to action at Pala this past weekend, Road 2 Recovery and the series promoter paired up to present the Brian Barnes' Moto Museum Collection Auction. Barnes, the legendary public address announcer for Washougal MX Park, has graciously donated his entire Moto Museum Collection in support R2R's mission to contribute to the betterment of the motocross community.
“I would like to thank all of the individuals and riders who contributed to this collection over the years. The memories associated with them helped me enjoy a dream career," said Barnes. "These auctioned items will assist injured riders in need and there’s no one better to make sure they receive the support they deserve than Road 2 Recovery. Please give generously. Thank you to all the amazing and selfless members of our industry and our incredibly loyal fans who are always willing to lend their support to a worthwhile cause.”
In honor of Brian's contributions and the provenance of this exceptional collection, Road 2 Recovery is creating a digital museum showcasing his collection. This virtual showcase launched on Road2Recovery.com yesterday. Each item in the collection will be digitally displayed with detailed historical significance. For the first time, fans can view the collection online, learn about Brian's enduring passion for the sport, and delve into the rich history of each piece in this remarkable collection.
Due to the sheer magnitude of the items available, the inventory is divided into two online auctions, both available exclusively on MXLocker.com. The first Auction began May 27 and will run for seven days. The second will launch on Saturday, July 22, coinciding with the Washougal National, and will feature items of historic significance linked to the iconic racetrack.
