"The history of American motorcycling is interwoven with the achievements of Honda racers, engineers and executives, starting with the great Soichiro Honda, founder of Honda Motor Company, Inc. and a member of the Hall of Fame class of 2000," said Ken Ford, a member of the Hall of Fame executive committee and treasurer of the AMA board of directors. "American Honda’s support of the 2014 induction ceremony is a testament to the company’s respect for motorcycling’s heritage. Their commitment will help shine a brighter spotlight on the amazing people of the Hall of Fame Class of 2014."
