Club Corral, Premier Exhibitors At AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Vintage bike exhibits from seven motorcycle clubs will form the Club Corral display at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days to the delight of motorcycle enthusiasts of all types, July 8-10, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

Three clubs — the Ton Up Club, the Cincinnati Café Racer Club/Garage Brewed Moto and the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club — are Premier Exhibitors this year.

“The variety of bikes, the quality of the restorations and the enthusiasm of the club members make the Club Corral one of my favorite features of Vintage Motorcycle Days,” said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. “The club members who staff these exhibits are among the most die-hard vintage riders you will find.”

Displays in the Club Corral include original and restored motorcycles, club information, historical information and memorabilia.

Club Corral participants for 2016 include:

For 2016, with the generous support of Suzuki Motor of America, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days honors the career of Suzuki rider and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Wes Cooley. The infield display, Celebrating 40 Years of AMA Superbikes, presented by Suzuki, will showcase the rich history of AMA Superbike racing with a number of historic championship-winning machines. The central piece of the display will be Cooley’s 1980 championship-winning GS1000, which Cooley will ride in demonstration laps around the road race course each day.

The weekend includes the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Bike Show presented by Old Bike Barn, the American Motor Drome Wall of Death, a classic motorcycle field meet, demo rides of current production bikes, seminars, live music, raffle bikes and displays of AMA clubs and custom bike builders.
