Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which oversees the Hall of Fame. “This will be a unique opportunity for Concours participants, Hall of Famers and fans to interact with some of today’s most-engaging motorcycle media personalities.”
AMA Legends Weekend kicks off on Friday, Nov. 16, with the 2012 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by KTM.
