AMA’s Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum hosting classic bike gatherings this summer


Two-wheel enthusiasts are invited to the AMA's Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum this summer for the 4th annual Japanese Motorcycle Saturday on June 6 and the 4th annual British & European Motorcycle Saturday on Aug. 22. Located on the AMA campus in Pickerington, Ohio, just a few miles east of Columbus, the AMA's Museum is the country’s premier showcase of motorcycling heritage and history.

Both events are expected to attract hundreds of riders, and will feature un-judged bike shows and seminars from collectors and experts. The 4th annual Japanese Motorcycle Saturday on June 6 will showcase a wide variety of motorcycles representing decades of metric design and engineering ingenuity. From sportbikes to café racers to tourers, every bike style is welcome. Enthusiasts can ride in on a classic Japanese bike or simply stop by to admire the vintage machines. Last year, a 1983 Honda CB1100R and an early 1980s Yamaha RZ500 two-stroke were highlights of the event.

Later in the summer, the Museum will host the 4th annual British & European Motorcycle Saturday on Aug. 22. Plenty of Ducatis, Triumphs, Nortons, BMWs, Aprilias, Moto Guzzis and other marques that are sure to impress will be on display for the event. The spotlight at British & European Motorcycle Saturday was stolen last year by the Ducati Riders of Ohio Club, with more than 20 members riding in for the event -- one on Ducati’s finest, the Desmosedici. This year’s showcase promises to feature equally compelling classics.

Admission for each Classic Motorcycle Saturday event is only $10 and includes access to all museum exhibits, including “MotoStars: Celebrities + Motorcycles,” an installation spotlighting a number of the world’s most well-known enthusiasts, and “Awesome-Ness,” chronicling the career of the legendary Arlen Ness.

Additional details about Classic Motorcycle Saturdays can be found on the AMA's Museum website or by calling (614) 856-2222.
