May 26 – The Museum is proud to honor the St. Louis Motorcycle Club and the Buckeye Beemers for their outstanding commitment to preserving our motorcycling history as part of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum Heritage Clubs program.

The St. Louis Motorcycle Club will receive the coveted Top Donor Club Award for its 2003 annual contribution. The award honors the club that makes the largest donation to the museum. For 2004, the 51-year-old group will continue its tradition of support with a motorcycle show, barbeque and bike wash on June 12th at Widman Motorcycle Sales in St. Louis. For more information call (314) 771-2531.

The Buckeye Beemers again earned the Top Donor Club Per Member Award for its 2003 per member donations.

This year’s run, part of the AMA National Championship Poker Run Series, is scheduled to begin at 11a.m. on June 6 at the Museum.
