Long-time motorcycle manufacturer returns as presenting sponsor
for second year running
PICKERINGTON, OH – April 25, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Royal Enfield, a motorcycle manufacturer with a history dating back more than 120 years, was recently announced as the Presenting Sponsor of 2022 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, which takes place July 22-24 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
