Wall of Death Show to Feature Kawasaki Riders at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Motorcycle daredevils will be thrilling crowds every hour, riding vintage bikes on a vertical wall inside the American Motor Drome Wall of Death at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring the Riders of Kawasaki, July 7-9 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

A crowd favorite, the show features a motor drome – a silo-shaped wooden cylinder 30 feet across – and motorcycle riders performing trick, fancy and acrobatic riding along its vertical wall. Spectators stand at the top of the 14-foot wall and look down as the riders speed around the cylinder, passing within inches of the crowd.

The American Motor Drome Wall of Death riders will be performing a show every hour during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days.

For 2017, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring Riders of Kawasaki, will celebrate the riders and machines that have made Kawasaki motorcycles famous for more than five decades in America. In addition, the AMA affinity group for fans of Kawasaki – ROK, Powered by the AMA – also will be front and center throughout the event. AMA members who join the ROK, Powered by the AMA, affinity group receive special benefits from Kawasaki Motors Corp. USA, such as a 10 percent discount from all purchases at www.kawasaki.com.
