“AMA Hall of Fame Days is a grand celebration of the legends, heroes, advocates, promoters and achievers who have shaped the landscape of American motorcycling,” AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman said. “The Hall of Fame Induction ceremony welcomes the incoming Hall of Fame class, and a full weekend of activities follows to raise money for the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, the 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that helps fund the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.”
The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will kick off the week, with Dana Bell, Chris Carter, Colin Edwards, Joe Kopp, Chad Reed and Ryan Young entering the prestigious collection of AMA Hall of Famers on Thursday, Oct. 23, in the auditorium of the Event Center at Violet Woods (formerly the Wigwam Event Center) in Pickerington, Ohio.
