Bike restoration extraordinaire, motocross pioneer and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Brian Slark has been named Grand Marshal of the 17th Annual Barber Vintage Festival.
Slark's passion for motorcycles began in the 1940s in his home of London, England where he attended the Speedway Races at the Crystal Palace as a child. Since, Slark has worked for Associated Motorcycles (Matchless & AJS), BSA Motorcycles, Norton-Villiers Corporation and Norton-Triumph, International Norton Owners Association, Clymer Repair Manuals and Lucas Industries. From 1976-1986, Slark owned a British bike shop in Southern California. Slark moved to St. Louis, MO in 1986 to help establish a motorcycle museum and ten years later, joined the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum.
Slark will be honored at the Motorcycles by Moonlight event on October 7, 2022. This special event begins with a cocktail reception followed by a silent auction, seated dinner, program and a Q&A with the Grand Marshal.
