Dates announced for 2013 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days: July 19-21

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- November, 27, 2012 -- The American Motorcyclist Association is pleased to announce the 2013 dates for the country's premier annual celebration of vintage motorcycling. AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will take place on July 19-21 at the world-class Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

"AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is a yearly must-do for motorcyclists from the Midwest and beyond, so we wanted to get the 2013 date out with plenty of time for riders to make plans," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is unique in the world of motorcycling in that all makes and models of vintage bikes -- and all riders -- are celebrated in a three-day event that brings out the best of motorcycling. I hope to see you there."

Added Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course President Craig Rust: "This event has such a rich history, and over the years it has become a fan favorite. No other event on our schedule transforms the facility or uses the grounds like AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. It truly is a unique event!"

A fundraiser for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days features classic motorcycles of all makes and styles, and honors the riders who made them famous. Activities include the AMA Racing Vintage Grand Championships, which feature roadracing, motocross, hare scrambles, trials and dirt-track; North America's largest motorcycle swap meet; bike shows and awards; stunt shows; demo rides of current production bikes; and seminars on a number of topics by noted motorcycling experts.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Dec. 3, and will be available from www.midohio.com. Advance ticket prices are $45 for a weekend pass, and $25 for a single-day pass. The event is family-friendly, and children 12 and under get in free with paying, supervising adults.
