There is a small, elite motorcycle club that is very hard to get into. In fact, it requires years and years of success on racetracks, or a lifetime of good work in and around the motorcycle industry. There’s also room for just a few of those adventurers who literally ride their way into this exclusive club on a long road (and off-road) of motorcycling. You’re probably familiar with some of the members already on this short list: Malcolm Smith. Roger De Coster. Steve McQueen. Jay Springsteen. Dick Burleson. Jeremy McGrath. Soichiro Honda. Ricky Carmichael. Evel Knievel. William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson. Torsten Hallman. Nicky Hayden. Tom White. Jay Leno. All are globally known motorcycle enthusiasts who worked their way into the club known as AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and their membership is eternal.
