Moto Armory to Bring Massive Vintage Dirt Bike Display to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Moto Armory, a collection of more than 600 vintage motorcycles in East Moline, Ill., will be on location at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, July 8-10 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, displaying some of the coolest vintage machines from its vault.

Motor Armory also is sponsoring the off-road racing portion of the AMA Vintage Grand Championship, which includes the motocross, hare scrambles and trials competition during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days.

Pre-entry for all the racing at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is available now at https://secure.tracksideonlineresults.com/amavintage/.

As part of its support for the event, Moto Armory will display premier examples from its vast collection. It ranges from pristine examples of trail bikes from the 1970s to world championship, one-of-a-kind works bikes raced by AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers.

“Ever since we first set eyes on AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, I knew that we needed to be part of this amazing event,” said Tom Reese, owner and chief executive officer of Moto Armory. “We take our role of preserving and sharing the history of off-road and dirt bike racing very seriously, and it’s our pleasure to partner with the AMA and the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. We invite everyone to come to the event and enjoy everything it has to offer, including the rare vintage bikes we will have on display from our collection.”
