From a press release issued by Keith Milne of Vmoto:

New Vintage Motorcycle Racing Group Formed

Vmoto (Vintage Motorcycle Racing Association), founded by Llew Kinst and Keith Milne in January of 2003, will offer a different experience for the vintage rider and spectator than is currently available. Vmoto’s focus is on the history of the sport and period correct bikes, not trying to make history by putting an emphasis on races and winners.

Vmoto encourages the restoration, preservation and use of historic, vintage, and classic road racing motorcycles. Vmoto events are, in effect, rolling museums where historic bikes of the past can be ridden once again in a venue that respects their historic value. Vmoto advocates preserving the history of the bikes and giving the rider an opportunity to experience motorcycle racing as it was in the past.

“You can either go vintage bike racing or go and race a vintage bike,” states founder Llew Kinst. “There is a big difference between the two. The former allows modern technology and emphasizes competition, the later (sic) emphasizes the history of the bikes and the sport.” Vmoto strives for the later, providing a venue for riders to bring out historically significant bikes and ride them as they were intended.

Vmoto is currently planning events at Northern California tracks for the 2003 season.
