Ride your motorcycle into history
The AMA is celebrating its 85th Anniversary this year, and you can join in the fun. The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum is looking for a few good motorcycles for a special parade at the 2009 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, scheduled for July 24-26 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. If you have a motorcycle that represents a significant time in the AMA’s 85-year history, we’d love to have you join us as a member of this special parade. The parade is made up primarily of street machines, though off-road and competition machines are also welcome. It is expected the parade will travel at approximately 25 miles per hour once around the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday, July 25, during the lunch hour. All machines must be in good running condition, safe and roadworthy. Entrants must commit to having their motorcycle on site by 10 a.m. Saturday, July 25, and available for display through 3:30 p.m. Machines will need to queue up at a specified location that will be communicated at check in. All entrants will be provided two one-day passes to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days that are good for Saturday, July 25. The tickets will be available at will call. Each motorcycle will be photographed for a special feature on the AMA and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum websites. One photo will include the owner(s). A copy of these photos will be provided to each owner, but the AMA will retain non-exclusive rights to use each photo. One person may submit more than one entry and offer more than one machine; however, a rider will be needed for all motorcycles. AMA staff reserves the right to select the most appropriate motorcycles from among those entered. Multiple motorcycles may be selected from the same year.
