TACOMA, Wash. (Dec. 4, 2012) – Classic motorcycles, some dating as far back as 1912, will return to Tacoma for the second annual Vintage Motorcycle Festival at LeMay – America’s Car Museum (ACM) August 24-25, 2013.
The Vintage Motorcycle Festival is one of the signature events at the 165,000 square-foot Tacoma museum and will feature motorcycles from many famous makers including BMW, Ducati, Triumph, Honda, Norton, Kawasaki, Harley-Davidson, BSA, Indian, Vespa and many Italian marques from bygone eras.
“Last year’s event was a great success, and we’re planning to build on that momentum with an even bigger show this year and beyond,” said David Madeira, ACM president and CEO. “America loves motorcycles, and we want the Vintage Motorcycle Festival to be the top bike weekend in the Pacific Northwest, drawing passionate motorcycle fans and aficionados from all over the region. Last year we had several entrants from across the border in British Columbia and a slew from Oregon. We are looking forward to seeing our friends from Idaho, California and beyond join us next August.”
The inaugural event in 2012 attracted more than 200 motorcycles and 2,000 enthusiasts to ACM’s Haub Family Field. Best of Show was won by a 1963 Norton Atlas owned by Ron Rumbolz of Fife, Wash., which is now on display at the museum.
Like last year, the 2013 Vintage Motorcycle Festival’s main event will be on Saturday and will include judged classes and awards, a swap meet, motorcycle demonstrations, panel discussions and live music at ACM. On Sunday, a scenic motorcycle ride launches from the Museum’s plaza and will travel along spectacular Pacific Northwest highways and byways.
Discounted registration is available for motorcycles signing up from March 1 to May 15, 2013. To register a motorcycle for the Vintage Motorcycle Festival, contact Show Chairman Burt Richmond at [email protected].
