Columbus, OH

Big events are happening this weekend at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

First, the HOF is introducing a new batch of inductees. There will be a big induction dinner and a chance to meet all of the current inductees, as well as mingle with some of the honorees from past years. I cannot say who exactly you might run into, but previous inductees include Jeremy McGrath, Jay Leno, Dot Robinson and a whole mess of Harleys and Davidsons.

This year’s inductees are:
Rex Beauchamp, flat-track racer
Bob Greene, magazine editor and off-road racer and organizer
Pat Hennen, the first American to win a 500cc World Grand Prix
Professor Hugh H. “Harry” Hurt, award-winning author and leader of the groundbreaking “Hurt Report” study of motorcycle crashes
Mike Kiedrowski, four-time AMA Motocross champion
Sammy Miller, trials competitor, designer and historian
Trampas Parker, two-time World Motocross champion
Derek and Don Rickman, designers of the famed motorcycle frames that carry their name
Orie Steele, Sr., national hillclimb champion in the 1920s
Billy Uhl, ISDT medal winner, off-road instructor and activist
Ed Waldheim, off-road motorcycle activist

If that isn’t enough to get you interested, on the 6th. the annual Concours d’Elegance will be held at the museum. Over 100 of the very best bikes of their style (the proverbial “Best in Show” types) will be on display. You will have the opportunity to see true classics from every marquis out there. Then you can go inside the museum and see the modern marvel that is the Motocross America exhibit.

Tickets to both events are limited, but still available.
Call 614-856-2222 Ext. 1234 for details.
