More action is on tap with amazing stunt shows by 2002 World Champion Triumph stunt rider Kevin Carmichael, the Team FMX freestyle MX team, the Team Extreme Motosphere Show--featuring stunt riders inside a 16-foot steel globe--and Ryan Young's Trials Stars Show.

Every year VMD recognizes a Classic Club and for 2008 the North American Laverda Owners Club will be honored with a special display and various activities.

Free motorcycle demo rides offered by manufacturers are another popular VMD attraction. This year attendees will enjoy new model selections from Triumph as well as BMW, Buell, Can-Am Spyder, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, KTM, Kymco and Moto Guzzi.

"Through it all, it's the people who make VMD special," Stoner continued. "The crowd is family-friendly, and riders and regular folks from all backgrounds trade notes, brought together by their shared interest in cool bikes. Whether you're a motorcycle collector, a racer, a regular rider or brand-new to motorcycling, VMD is the place to be."

All VMD proceeds benefit the non-profit Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.midohio.com or by calling (800) MID-OHIO. For more information, visit www.amavintagemotorcycledays.com.
