AMA Showcases 1966 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide FLH Raffle Bike at AIMExpo

Pickerington, OH – Fans and supporters of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame will get a look at the charity's latest raffle bike this Oct. 13-16 at the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) in Orlando, Florida. The bike, an expertly restored 1966 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, is being raffled to raise funds for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

"In the 1960s, air travel was getting cheaper, roads were getting smoother and America was obsessed with wanderlust. Motorcyclists joined the fun on large touring motorcycles, perhaps none more impressive than the 1966 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide," said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. "We're excited to offer this classic machine for one lucky supporter of the Hall of Fame to ride away when we draw the winner next July."

To get your chance to be that lucky winner, visit www.americanmotorcyclist.com. Supporters get one chance to win for a $5 donation to the Hall of Fame, or five chances for a $20 donation.

Even better, see the 1966 Harley-Davidson FLH raffle bike at the AMA booth at AIMExpo Oct. 13-16. The AMA will be on hand to meet members, sign up new members and produce the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Husqvarna.

The induction ceremony will be held the first night of the expo. Reservations for the ceremony can be made now at www.americanmotorcyclist.com/induction. Tickets to the ceremony, which includes a formal sit-down dinner, are $130 per person. AMA Life Members pay $120, and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers can attend for no charge.

They are road racing champion Miguel Duhamel, motorcycle designer and engineer Charles Franklin, racer and tuner Chris Haines, engine builder Dennis Mahan, race frame builder Jeff Cole, desert racer Jack Johnson, motorcycling pioneer Gloria Tramontin-Struck and dirt track racer Ronnie Jones.

Davidson, Roger DeCoster, Torsten Hallman, Bob Hannah, Mert Lawwill, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts and Malcolm Smith.
