October 3, 2010 - Merced, CA: The Professor and Motocross Champion, Gary Bailey, and Managing Partner, Alex Moroz, of the Legends & Heroes Tour announced today a partnership to develop a true rolling museum of the rich history of American Motocross for the 2011 season. The Legends & Heroes Tour has been on the road the past 2 years displaying classic motocross iron and presenting a time line of motocross history to the fans. Most recently, the tour has been present at the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship series events, the USGP at Glen Helen Raceway, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, and FIM World Championship series, the FIM Motocross of Nations, and the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid Ohio. The current modular display will be redesigned to incorporate a tangible 40 foot 5^th wheel specifically designed to carry the most dynamic motocross and supercross display around the country. The new display will travel to the 2011 Pro Supercross series, the Pro Outdoor nationals, the USGP and other select events.

"This is an exciting time for us and we are excited with this partnership with Mr. Bailey. We see this as a catalyst to bring our rich history to the masses in a professional presentation and share not only with the fans but the general public on our rich history" states Alex Moroz, Managing Partner of the Legends and Heroes Tour.

Professor Gary Bailey states "I am so excited about being able to donate my 5^th wheel trailer to the Legends & Heroes Project. I think it is time to get the big top on the road. For so long I have tried to save some of my old stuff just so my kids would have it. I feel that the motocross history is important and I want my grandkids and great grandkids to know what it was like, back in the day. What made me stop and think about all the history of motorcycles and motocross was that I don’t have many things on my grandfather. He won a lot of races like cross country, board track, and long distant races. I think it would be cool if I knew more about that history, so I don’t want this part we know to get lost"".

"Not only do I have a chance to help with this trailer, but also for me the most exciting thing is that I get to partner up with Alex Moroz to help get the show on the road. And I hope to get to as many events as possible to help make this thing big. I want the young and the old to see and enjoy the bikes and the Legend & heroes that got this all started. Save our history" Bailey concludes.
