4 5 Letter From The Chairman

On behalf of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation (AMHF), it is my honor to share with you this Annual Report. It outlines a number of our accomplishments at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in 2010. And after perusing the information, I trust you will be inspired to participate with us in the years to come. When was the last time you visited the Motorcycle Hall of Fame on the AMA campus in Pickerington, Ohio? If it was prior to July 2010, you owe it to yourself to come see this wonderful presentation of the men and women who went the extra mile to make motorcycling what it is today. And if you have never been to the Hall of Fame, please accept my invitation to join the thousands of people who visit every year. Our highlight of the year was, once again, the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Las Vegas, Nev. The Nov. 19 gala drew a sellout crowd in celebration of a tremendous class of inductees. We also added something new for 2010: a Legends Award that honors one previously inducted Hall of Famer each year. The 2010 recipient was none other than Bob “Hurricane” Hannah, whose incredible accomplishments added a key ingredient to our induction ceremony. Bob was uplifting and entertaining, and we look forward to honoring more Legends in the years to come. In addition, we cannot forget the Midwest’s biggest annual motorcycle weekend, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, held at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Over 45,000 folks attended this great event in 2010. All were entertained with a weekend of buying and selling at America’s largest motorcycle swap meet, superb vintage racing, informative seminars, nostalgic club corrals, VIP autograph hunting, new bike demo riding opportunities and a wonderful chance to meet and greet old friends and famous faces. All in all, 2010 was a great year that, without your support, would not have been possible. As the chairman of the Board of Directors for the AMHF, I am very proud of the accomplishments made by the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2010, and I speak on behalf of our entire board when I say that we are very excited with the plans we have for 2011 and beyond. We are developing many ideas to grow the opportunities to preserve all aspects of the heritage of the motorcycling community. From the occasional donation to a well-managed endowment program, our future is based on our ability to attract funding to further our mission. Needless to say, your help is tremendously appreciated and for that, I sincerely thank you.

“What we’ve done, we couldn’t have done it without you. Your support is so important, and we’ve got a lot more ideas and plans to spread the word about the heritage of motorcycling.” Jeffrey V. Heininger, AMHF Chairman

Also honored at the event was Bob “Hurricane” Hannah (left). Hannah, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999 with seven AMA National Championships to his credit, was the recipient of the first-ever Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legends Award. Hannah’s immense popularity helped the sport of motocross grow by leaps and bounds in the late 1970s.

18 19 eyvind boyesen (Award accepted by Tony and Harry DeLorenzo)

Eyvind Boyesen was one of the most accomplished two-stroke engine tuners in the history of motorsports. Off-road racers in the 1970s through the 1990s are most familiar with Boyesen Engineering’s aftermarket performance reeds, which set the standard as one of the leading aftermarket replacement parts of the two- stroke era. Installing Boyesen reeds was often one of the first modifications a racer made to a new machine, and this change helped put many bikes on the podium. Born in Norway, Eyvind Boyesen grew up in the wake of World War II. With fuel scarce, motorcycles were a popular mode of transportation, and Boyesen developed an early attraction to them. But it was actually a stint in the field of rocket science later in life that prepared him well for two- wheeled motorsports. Boyesen worked as an engineer for a company involved in developing space technology for NASA. That assignment was a brief period in a career that ultimately would redefine two-stroke engine performance for a generation of motocross and off-road racers. In 1972, Boyesen made the shift to motorcycles, founding Boyesen Engineering in , and over time established a worldwide reputation as a two-stroke engine expert. In addition to his reed-valve innovations, Boyesen became known for a special porting technique that has been used in motorcycle, snowmobile and watercraft two-stroke engines. He collected more than 40 patents for the aftermarket motorcycle industry, and his company continues to thrive today. Boyesen was also a dedicated riding enthusiast. In 2002, he won the Senior World Motocross Championship in the Over 60 class. And in 2004, he was runner-up at the World Vet Motocross Championships at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif. Eyvind Boyesen’s induction into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame is emblematic of his fellow Hall of Famers. Through ingenuity and determination, he achieved success in an era of tremendous innovation in off-road . His products, used for decades by regular riders and national champions, remain popular today.

20 21 “My career has been balanced by my ability to do what I truly love. To this day, I will always remember the first time I saw a motorcycle. It was magical.” Eyvind Boyesen, 2010 Hall of Fame inductee, who passed away just two days before the ceremony

20 21 Don Castro grew up in Hollister in central California. When he was almost 16, he got a Honda 90 so that he could ride to work. But Castro didn’t use the small bike just for transportation. He began racing it around town, drawing the attention of the police, who reported his antics to his father. In exchange for parking his street racer, Don received a 500 Triumph to go AMA racing. Castro was soon racing in Sportsman TT races and hillclimbs. At the age of 18, he transferred to the Expert Sportsman class, turned pro novice in 1968, and then junior in 1969. In 1970, Castro earned a Triumph factory ride as a pro expert. His first roadrace was at the famed Daytona International Speedway, where he finished third on a three-cylinder Triumph. The next year Castro raced short track, TT, half-mile, mile and road courses. By 1973, Castro was highly regarded. He got a factory contract with Yamaha, teamed with Kenny Roberts. His win at the San Jose half-mile is considered to be his greatest victory. All but one of the 12 competitors in the 20-mile national final were future Hall of Famers: Roberts, Chuck Palmgren, Rex Beauchamp, Mert Lawwill, Jim Rice, Mark Brelsford, Gary Scott, Mike Kidd, Eddie Mulder, Gene Romero and Randy Scott. After Roberts was sidelined on the first lap with ignition problems, Castro took over the lead and held it to the finish, unchallenged by any of the other racers. He finished fifth overall for the season. In 1974, Castro won the 250cc roadrace at Daytona, then finished fourth in the before suffering a leg injury that sidelined him for much of the season. When Yamaha pulled out of racing in 1975, Castro teamed up with legendary tuner and fellow Hall of Famer Erv Kanemoto to race Kawasakis. Afflicted again by injuries, he retired from racing in 1976. Today, this extraordinary dirt-tracker and roadracer owns a shop called Racer’s Edge in Tres Pinos, Calif. After battling with some of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time, Don Castro takes his rightful place in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. don castro

22 23 “I couldn’t get up here all by myself. I had a lot of great help. I’d like to thank my peers for voting for me, and I’d like to thank everybody for coming out.” Don Castro, 2010 Hall of Fame inductee

22 23 larry coleman Larry Coleman is the most successful sidecar roadracer in U.S. history, winning three AMA national championships and competing around the world in one of motorcycle racing’s most endearing disciplines. Piloting his own machines, first with passenger Wendell Andrews and then with Mark Bevans, Coleman raised awareness for sidecar roadracing throughout North America. Coleman got his two-wheel start on a Cushman when he was 15, then moved up to a Triumph TR6. His interest in sidecar racing started when he was stationed in Germany with the military in the late 1960s. He bought a BMW R69S and put a sidecar on it, and started going to races and hanging out with a friend who was a German sidecar champion. Upon returning to the , Coleman raced a Kawasaki 500 H1 sidecar owned by Ossie Auer out of Chick, Calif. With Andrews as his passenger, the team saw immediate success, and narrowly missed the AMA Championship in 1973 at Laguna Seca. The next year, Coleman/ Andrews imported a state-of-the-art sidecar racing from England and installed in it a Ron Grant-prepared GT750 engine. The duo proceeded to dominate both American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) and AMA racing for the next several years. At the end of the 1977 season, Andrews retired from racing and Coleman teamed up with Bevans to form a very successful partnership to contest the AMA Championship in 1979. Powered by a Yamaha TZ750 engine, the chassis was technically one of the most advanced machines of that time. At the end of the 1981 season, Coleman retired from racing and went on to work in the motorcycle industry with his own consulting business. At the same time he pursued land-speed sidecar racing records on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. His efforts resulted in several titles over the years, including this year. He has also enjoyed success as a race announcer. In a sport that is often defined by individual will and determination, Larry Coleman enters the Motorcycle Hall of Fame ever grateful for the teamwork necessitated by his chosen discipline, yet no less deserving for his single- minded pursuit of excellence.

24 25 “Regardless of the type of racing, it takes teamwork to become successful. Any success in racing, business, or any aspect of our sport is only as good as the team that you are able to assemble to make things happen.” Larry Coleman, 2010 Hall of Fame inductee

24 25 Clark Collins has a long and distinguished history as an advocate for the rights of dirtbike, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and off-highway vehicle (OHV) riders. As creator of the public land-access group the BlueRibbon Coalition, Collins built regional and national coalitions among all trail users, and played an instrumental role in the passage of a federal law that dedicated user-paid monies for trail funding nationwide. Collins caught the motorcycling bug in 1962 while serving in the Navy when he and a friend rented a scooter in Rome, Italy. When he returned to his home state of Idaho, Collins started riding and racing cross- country. When he saw local riding areas threatened with closure in the 1980s, Collins focused his energies on advocacy for OHV access. His work led to the creation in 1987 of the BlueRibbon Coalition, a national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting responsible recreational access to public lands. One year earlier, Collins organized OHV vehicle riders to help Idaho U.S. Sen. Steve Symms in his re-election bid. That show of support would prove pivotal. At Collins’ request, Sen. Symms introduced, and fought for, the National Recreational Trails Fund Act in 1990. Now known as the Recreational Trails Program, it was enacted into law in 1991 and it is considered to be one of the most important and beneficial laws for OHV riders ever passed by Congress. The Recreational Trails Program provides funds to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities. Its far-reaching implications have positively impacted enthusiasts in the area of outdoor recreation. Although Collins retired as executive director of the BlueRibbon Coalition in 2006, he remained dedicated to the cause. In 2009 he began working with ATV organizations in Idaho, and currently serves as president of the Idaho State ATV Association. Few inductees into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame are responsible for preserving riding opportunities for millions of Americans. Clark Collins is one of them. clark collins

26 27 “I really want to thank you all, collectively. You’ve helped us make it mean something, and I’m proud of the relationship between the BlueRibbon Coalition and the AMA because teamwork is what makes it work.” Clark Collins, 2010 Hall of Fame inductee

26 27 david emde (Award accepted by Nancy Emde-Stewart and Brian Emde)

David Emde was among the best roadracers in the late 1970s. His speed and skill earned him the 1977 AMA 250cc National Roadracing Championship, competing with the likes of Hall of Famers Kenny Roberts, Steve Baker, Gary Nixon and Yvon Duhamel. Emde was born into a motorcycle racing family. Following in the footsteps of his father, Floyd, and brother, Don, both Daytona 200 winners and Hall of Famers, David’s talent became obvious when he began racing in the early 1970s. His first moment in the spotlight occurred when he won his 250cc heat race at the 1976 Laguna Seca national roadrace ahead of Kenny Roberts. Although Roberts would go on to win the main event, Emde had arrived, and along with his 1977 championship, he would score a career total of nine AMA 250cc national wins. Emde also began competing in the up-and-coming “Superbike” category in 1977, finishing second in the Daytona Superbike event. The following year, he had the distinction of setting the fastest qualifying time for the Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance Race, and his team took second overall in the grueling event. In 1979 Emde raced at Daytona for the Yoshimura team along with fellow riders Wes Cooley, who is now a Hall of Famer, and Ron Pierce. Due to a crash, he gamely started the Superbike main from the 63rd and final starting position. Undaunted, Emde raced through the field to finish third behind his teammates, giving “Pops” Yoshimura a dramatic 1-2-3 sweep. Emde eventually retired from racing in the early 1980s, but his love of riding kept him close to the sport. He performed the opening action scene in Peter Starr’s motorcycling movie “Take It To The Limit,” instructed for the DP High-Performance Motorcycle Riding Schools, and worked for BMW in a number of roles. In 2003, following his return to his hometown of San Diego to enter the motorcycle retail business, Emde suffered an untimely death in a non-racing accident. His elevation to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame forever memorializes his can-do spirit of achievement in the motorcycling community.

28 29 John and Rita Gregory created JT Racing USA, which produced innovative motocross gear for two decades. From humble beginnings, they built JT Racing into a dominant force in motocross apparel during the 1970s and 1980s. The Gregorys met in Weatherford, Okla., where John was attending pharmacy school. When he graduated, the couple set off for California where John began desert racing. It was during those weekend outings that the Gregorys noticed riders wearing wool army surplus socks—which could not stand up to wear and tear. In 1968, John and Rita spotted some colorful, long cotton soccer socks in a sporting goods store in Tijuana, Mexico. They knew the socks were just the ticket for California’s desert and motocross racers, and the Gregorys were soon selling the socks out of the trunk of their car at racing events. In 1970, they started what would eventually become JT Racing USA. When they began selling their socks by mail order, famed motocrosser and Hall of Famer Lars Larsson of Torsten Hallman Racing asked to become a distributor. Soon, JT Racing sponsored just about every big- name MXer of the era, including Hall of Famers Marty Smith, Marty Tripes, , David Bailey, Bob Hannah, Johnny O’Mara, Jeff Ward and Broc Glover. In addition to socks, the Gregorys also marketed rugby jerseys from Australia, air filters from Holland and nylon-and-leather motocross pants from Finland. Over the years, JT Racing expanded into other product areas as well, such as chest protectors and helmets. The company was also the first to introduce vented riding gear. In the early 1980s the company expanded into new markets including paintball apparel, before its sale in 2001. John and Rita Gregory changed how MX riding gear was designed and marketed, bringing style to the sport and sponsorship to its top riders. They’ve earned a well-deserved place in the Motorcrcycle Hall of Fame. john and rita gregory

30 31 bruce ogilvie (Award accepted by Marcia, Nick and Isabella Ogilvie)

Bruce Ogilvie is one of the greatest desert racers in the history of the sport, winning Baja events over four decades. As a factory team manager, he developed some of the most impressive racing talent of the next generation—in addition to the machinery they rode. Ogilvie’s racing career started humbly enough on a Tohatsu 50 when he was in his mid-teens at Elsinore Raceway in California. Groomed by his father, Don, an avid off-roader, and the blistering amateur competition in Southern California’s AMA District 37, Ogilvie flourished. One of his most memorable training rides with his father dates back to the early 1970s. Starting out from their home in Riverside, the pair rode the entire course to La Paz and back with only the motorcycles they started on and the gear they carried, sleeping on the ground along the way. Ogilvie’s first Baja win came in the 500 in 1975, followed by an overall victory in the Baja 1000. More wins would follow, most notably in subsequent Baja 1000s, the last of which came in 2003 when Ogilvie was 51 years old. While still racing, Ogilvie was hired in 1984 by American Honda to coordinate the company’s off- efforts and serve as a senior product test evaluator. He managed the company’s off-road championship team for years, and was a key contributor to the development of Honda’s nearly indestructible off-road motorcycles. A steely-eyed competitor with an unassailable drive to win, Ogilvie excelled in business every bit as much as he did in the Baja desert. His incredible skill on a motorcycle and seemingly limitless knowledge regarding motorcycle development made him an asset to the entire motorcycling community. Yet among those who knew him best, Ogilvie’s modest and unassuming demeanor exceeded even his status as a world- class racer. Sadly, Bruce Ogilvie passed away in 2009 at the age of 59 following an extended illness. His induction into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame recognizes a lifetime of achievement in competition and business, where his influence will be evident for years to come.

32 33 “For me, he was the ultimate dad. He taught me how to ride and live. I only had 14 years with him, but my memories will last a lifetime.” Nick Ogilvie, son of the late Bruce Ogilvie, 2010 Hall of Fame inductee

32 33 Mitch Payton is arguably the most successful race team owner in the sport of motorcycling. Through 2010, his Pro Circuit teams collected 26 AMA Pro Racing Championships in Motocross and Supercross since 1991. Payton’s extraordinary life of achievement belies his humble motorcycling origins, which began like many others of his generation. Born into a riding family, at age 10 he was competing in family enduros. A few years later he was a rising star in the desert racing community of Southern California. By the age of 17, he was Southern California’s AMA District 37 125cc desert racing class champion. In 1978, one year after his championship, Payton had a debilitating crash in the desert. Rather than allow the discouragement of never riding again turn him away from motorcycling, Payton refocused his efforts on the engineering and business side of the sport. At the age of 18, he bought and ran Anaheim Husqvarna. At the same time he founded Pro Circuit, where Payton’s skill and reputation as a tuner grew. When the AMA made its ruling in 1986 requiring factory bikes to be based on production models, a number of teams turned to Pro Circuit for its production-based expertise. Within a few short years, Payton’s products and services were being used by some of the biggest motocross teams of the era. Payton’s big break came in 1991 when Honda asked him to run its 125cc motocross team. Over the next 19 years, fielding other motorcycle brands as well, Pro Circuit teams won more championships than any other teams—privateer or factory. While winning on the track was a major goal, Payton also sold a variety of products and services, from exhaust pipes to bolt-on hard parts to suspension modifications and engine work. His marketing plan, which ultimately became one of the industry’s most successful, was simple. He built and sold aftermarket parts that appealed to him. Mitch Payton has left a lasting impression on motocross racing as a business leader and respected competitor who delivers the highest level of performance. His induction into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame is an honor he richly deserves. mitch payton
