The Hall of Fame is dedicated to preserving and promoting motorcycling’s heritage, while AIMExpo showcases the current state and future of the sport,” said Larry Little, Vice President and General Manager of AIMExpo. “Last year’s ceremony was an outstanding presentation that set a new bar in completely engaging the audience while rewarding the accomplishments of our motorcycling heroes. This is a wonderful and obvious partnership that celebrates both the legacy and promise of all things motorcycling, and an event not to be missed! ”
