“It’s everything you would see in a museum,” said Road America president and general manager, Mike Kertscher. “Only here you see them amongst all of the exciting on-track action that the MotoAmerica Series brings. This event is a true destination for enthusiasts everywhere because now there is something for everyone and we encourage folks to ride-in, stay in our campgrounds and enjoy the full experience of the weekend.”
Enthusiasts and spectators will find several bikes competing for space alongside dealers, and vendors of all things motorcycling.

The Twin Stunts motorcycle stunt show will also be performing throughout the weekend in the paddock.
