AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days 2006 to Celebrate MV Agusta
Giacomo Agostini Named Grand Marshal of the Event (below)
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has
announced that MV Agusta will be the "Featured Marque" at AMA Vintage
Motorcycle Days 2006, to be held July 28-30 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course in Lexington, Ohio.
Founded in 1945, Meccanica Verghera Agusta is known for
its sophisticated, elegant Italian design and attention to performance,
as well as for a long string of world championships.
MV Agusta will be celebrated at AMA Vintage Motorcycle
Days 2006 with an exhibit of classic motorcycles and memorabilia, with
the cooperation of Cagiva U.S.A.
As in previous years, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will
kick off a ten-day celebration of motorcycling at Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course, concluding with the AMA Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by
Dunlop Tire the following weekend, August 4-6.
In 2006, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will be held two
weeks later than its usual mid-July weekend. Other sporting events
during the summer of 2006 prompted what is expected to be a one-year
departure from the traditional dates.
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, which attracts an estimated
40,000 enthusiasts each year, benefits the Motorcycle Hall of Fame
Museum, and in 2006 will include the all-brands AMA Swapmeet, bike
shows, a full slate of American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA)
racing, and other features to be announced in the coming months.
Giacomo Agostini Named Grand
Marshal of the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and Cagiva
USA have announced that Giacomo Agostini will be the "Grand Marshal" of
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days 2006, to be held July 28-30 at Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
Agostini, who was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of
Fame in 1999, is considered the greatest Grand Prix rider of all time.
In just 17 years he won 15 world Grand Prix titles, 12 Isle of Man TT
crowns, and 122 Grand Prix events. He brought unprecedented
recognition to the Daytona 200 when he won the race in 1974.
As motorcycling's first world superstar, Agostini was
linked throughout his career with MV Agusta, which will be the "Featured
Marque" at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days 2006. Founded in 1945,
Meccanica Verghera Agusta is known for its sophisticated, elegant
Italian design and attention to performance, as well as for a long
string of world championships. MV Agusta will be celebrated at AMA
Vintage Motorcycle Days 2006 with an exhibit of classic motorcycles and
memorabilia, with the cooperation of Cagiva USA, North America's
exclusive importer of the MV Agusta brand.
"Having Giacomo Agostini preside over this event will be
a great experience, not only for our dedicated MV owners and fans, but
for all motorcyclists," notes Lawrence Ferracci, Cagiva USA's Director
of Operations. "Ago is a true champion and an icon in the history
of motorcycling."
