Every season is only as good as you make it – and one way to make it go out with a bang is to celebrate with motorcycling’s best and brightest at the AMA Legends & Champions Weekend in Las Vegas.
This Nov. 19-21 at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, the AMA will not only award AMA Racing No. 1 plates to the 2010 champions of all AMA Racing disciplines at the AMA Racing Championship Banquet, presented by World of Powersports, but the Motorcycle Hall of Fame will welcome the 2010 inductees – Eyvind Boyesen, Don Castro, Larry Coleman, Clark Collins, David Emde, John and Rita Gregory, Bruce Ogilvie and Mitch Payton.
And if you’re a fan of classic motorcycles (who isn’t?), you’ll also enjoy the 2010 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Concours d’Elegance, which will feature some of the most-stunning motorcycles in the country. Banquet attendees get free admission to this event.
Finally, race fans will also enjoy a screening of "Carlsbad USGP: 1980," followed by an expert panel discussion of participants in that race.
The Red Rock Resort is a family-friendly locale on the west side of Las Vegas. Banquet attendees will be able to say at this world-class facility for a whopping $150 off the regular nightly rate — just $90 a night.
