Every July, tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Morrow County, Ohio, to celebrate and honor the history of motorcycling in America. AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is a long-standing tradition and the largest fundraiser for the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which supports the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.

“We have vintage racing—off-road, trials, motocross, flat track, road racing, you name it,” explained AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “We also have the world’s largest motorcycle swap meet. We have, if you can imagine this, over 850 vendor spaces. It’s just gigantic. We try to add new elements or do something a little different each year, and it continues to grow.”

AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days caters to all motorcyclists, and the event can get a bit rowdy after the sun goes down. “It was crazy,” one attendee told “Driven to Ride” host Mark Long. “Things got louder. There were a lot more two-strokes on the pipe. There were fireworks. There were, let’s call them, festivities.” Next year, VMD is scheduled for July 24 through July 26. Put it on your calendar.
