Families, friends, industry peers and past Hall of Fame inductees were present to celebrate the newest Hall of Famers, making the evening a night to remember. Noted Stan Simpson, Chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation Board of Directors, “The class of 2007 features racers, designers, a pioneering academic and a tireless activist.
