AMA thanks partners, supporters and attendees who made the weekend successful
PICKERINGTON, OH – August 8, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Tens of thousands of motorcyclists from around the country and the world gathered at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, July 26-28 for 2024 Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Yamaha — one of the largest single-weekend events in all of motorcycling, including North America’s largest motorcycle swap meet.
Organized and co-promoted by the American Motorcyclist Association, along with facility owner and co-promoter Green-Savoree Racing Promotions, the annual event raises funds for the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that helps fund the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame’s mission to promote and preserve the history and heritage of motorcycling in America.
“Every year the AMA takes great pride in organizing AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman, “and this year was even more special as the AMA celebrated its 100th Anniversary. The weekend gives motorcyclists a chance to celebrate vintage bikes while spending time with family and friends, enjoying the freedom of two wheels with like-minded enthusiasts. This event wouldn’t be possible without a long list of partners, supporters and volunteers. We appreciate them all, as well as everyone who attended the record-breaking event, which enables us to raise money for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.”
The Grand Marshal for the event was AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer and six-time AMA National Champion Broc Glover, who spent time signing autographs, participating in question-and-answer sessions, greeting fans, and racing on the motocross track. Each day he also led the Lap of History aboard a Yamaha Tenere 700 kindly provided by the marque, which served as presenting sponsor of the event.
“AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is an incredible event,” Glover said, “and the fact that it was the celebration of the AMA’s 100th Anniversary made it even more special. I’ve never seen anything like it. The part I loved the most was seeing motorcyclists of all ages — from young kids to veteran riders — riding around and enjoying themselves. It was my first year attending VMD, but it won’t be my last!”
AMA Business Development Manager Michael Kula thanked the many companies who supported the event financially.
“A huge thank you to Permco, who was our Title Sponsor for the…
