Keith Urban joins 'MotoStars'

Keith Urban is the latest rider to contribute an exclusive machine and personal memorabilia to "MotoStars: Celebrities + Motorcycles," the new exhibit opening at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum on June 28, 2008.

The multi-platinum selling artist is loaning his custom Vengeance Drifter, a signature Fender Telecaster guitar named "Clarence" and a special collection of personal photos to "MotoStars," allowing exhibit visitors an in-depth look at his passion for motorcycling.

Urban is one of the country's leading performers, consistently selling out arenas worldwide. His first solo album in the U.S., 1999's self-titled effort, went platinum. Urban's most recent albums, 2004's "Be Here" and 2007's "Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing," both debuted at number one on Billboard's Country Chart. When not touring or in the studio, Urban often can be found out on a ride, clearing his head on one of his motorcycles. A longtime enthusiast, Urban bought the Vengeance "7" Drifter (below) to be displayed in the "MotoStars" exhibit on impulse at the legendary Sturgis Rally in 2006.

Urban will join a group of more than 100 prominent personalities contributing motorcycles and memorabilia to the "MotoStars: Celebrities + Motorcycles" exhibit. Notable actors, artists, athletes, musicians, CEOs, and bike builders have provided priceless machines and exclusive ephemera for the milestone exhibit. Motorcycle manufacturers, notably Victory Motorcycles, have also given the exhibit significant support.
