AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Bike Show
AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Bike Show, Presented by Hagerty Insurance Agency, Spotlights Classic Motorcycles at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Vintage motorcycle riders, collectors and racers will ride or haul their classic bikes to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course this July 10-12 for AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. Some of the best of those motorcycles will be showcased in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Bike Show, presented by Hagerty Insurance Agency, on Saturday, July 11.
“AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is packed with great bikes of all genres,” said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. “But the best of the best are always represented at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Bike Show. Whether you’re drawn to vintage dirt bikes, classic V-twin or inline-four street machines, rare European marques or anything on two wheels, you’re going to find it here.”
The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Bike Show, presented by Hagerty Insurance Agency, will feature American, British, European and Japanese models from the early 1900s through 1989. Pre-registration is not necessary. Registration will take place at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame tent at the event prior to the show, closing at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Registration costs $10 per bike and is a donation to the Hall of Fame.
Riders participating in Saturday’s Lap for History on their show bikes will have time to return those bikes to the display area prior to judging. Professional judging will begin at 2 p.m., with awards presented at 3:30 p.m.
For 2015, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame museum. AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is a fundraiser for the facility, which houses the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and other thematic exhibits that celebrate motorcycling’s heritage.
The museum was founded in 1990 to provide a permanent home to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, which celebrates and preserves the rich tradition of motorcycling in America through the recognition of the sport’s greatest heroes. Proceeds from AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days are donated to the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization tasked with funding the operation of the museum and Hall of Fame activities.
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is the home of the AMA Vintage Grand Championship, which includes road racing, motocross, hare scrambles, trials and dirt-track racing. Another top attraction is North America’s largest motorcycle swap meet with parts, bikes and memorabilia from all eras. Bike shows bring out examples of some of history’s most beloved motorcycles, while stunt shows, such as the American Motor Drome Wall of Death, and demo rides of current production bikes keep attendees entertained. Seminars feature some of the country’s leading experts on numerous motorcycling topics.
It all adds up to one of motorcycling’s premier events. Learn more, see photos and read stories from past AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at www.amavintagemotorcycledays.com.
