The biggest motorcycling event in Ohio. Great time, if you've never been there come down with a pit bike and ride around and see it for yourself!

The biggest would probably be Ohio Bike Week. It last 10 days.
 
Ohio Bike Week is pretty legit... but VMD has that "Loretta's for Adults" feel... Plus if you dig motorcycles.. there is road racing, hare scrambles, motocross, trials, dirt track (at ashland fairgrounds), the wall of death guys, literally almost 800 vendors in the swap meet, live music, bike shows, bike builders with new and old motorcycles on display, demo rides with KTM, GasGas, Zero, and so on...

When I moved to Ohio to work for the AMA, had no idea this event even existed. Now it's one of the events I look forward to, even if I wasn't responsible for working. I would circle this date on my calendar, bring a camper, and a pit bike. And have a blast.
 
If you have never been please don't speculate because if you came you would change your opinion I guarantee it. By far my favorite thing I do each year. As Vet261 said bring a pitbike! I put over 60 miles per year on my 72 TC125 and never leave the place.

You been watching the Stewart brothers for way toooooooooooooo long, must have lost your objectivity. MID OHIO is IT, don't need a Harley or a Tatoo
 
If you're going naked - then get naked .......What's with the sock? Chicken...
I'm most disturbed with what seems like other men wanting to take a photo of him.
Why would you want a pic of that?
 
Sounds like I need to pick up a bike to do this and Unidilla. I'm told the place is great.

I would like to find a good 1982 rm 250 to race that evolution stuff. Or a YZ 465.
 
Definitely a can't miss event. The best motorcycle event in the state for real motorcycle people.

I think the difference in VMD and Ohio Bike Week is that VMD is really an AMA driven event. Ohio Bike Week is Huge, and HUGE for the Ohio economy. Much more so that VMD.

My question would be this. As someone that goes to Ohio Bike Week, Daytona Bike Week, Biketoberfest, etc. why would the AMA not have more of a presence at these events? They have a tent here or there sometimes, but not often. Are these people that you should not promote the AMA too? With all the legislative things that the AMA does for motorcyclist?

That is an interesting question. And now it's got me thinking. I wonder what percentage of Outlaw Bikers are AMA members. Of that percentage how many are life members?

I ride with a lot of guys that are members that have never raced or anything like that. I bet the number is more than you think. Alex probably has the stat of how many are street riders some where.

I'd imagin the AMA doesn't see their image dovetailing in well with a big drinking party that caters primarily to "adult" fun rather than being family oriented.

Your joking right? The AMA is like the Chamber of Commerce, they are in the business of selling memberships. Why shun people with lots of disposable income that drop it on about anything for their motorcycles. They do not discriminate.

Well then, based on that logic..they should be setting up membership tents at KKK gatherings too :)
