The AMA has announced that next July 24-26 Lexington, OH will once again roll out the red carpet for the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. The event that celebrates motorcycle heritage will take over a 35-acre area and see nearly 70,000 people through its turnstiles.

It is always exciting to find out which vintage marque the event planners will choose. Last year (2008) it was the Triumph, the truly legendary and regal two-wheeled machine that has been through the Industrial Revolution as well as two World Wars. The 2007 event celebrated the American favorite - the Harley-Davidson Sportster. In 2006 it was the MV Agusta; a beautiful four-cylinder ride first produced in 1946. Steeped in Italianate operatic drama, the Agusta was the motorcycle of choice for many grand prix winners over the years of its production, including Giacomo Agostini who, decades after retirement, still holds the record for Grand Prix victories. What motorcycle’s historical tale will be told this year?

This event is a must-do for any of the motorcycle obsessed. The AMA has been putting this event on for 17 years (2009s will be the 18th). The AMA’s network of people work to protect riders’ rights at the national, state, and city levels and membership starts for as little as $39 a year.
