Legend of the Motorcycle Cancelled for 2009

The annual Legend of the Motorcycle Concours d’Elegance, which traditionally takes place the first weekend of May, will be postponed in 2009. Organizers say the fourth annual event, highlighting Indian and NSU as the featured marques, is scheduled to resume in 2010.

The decision is due to the effect the world economy has had on many sponsors, says co-founder Jared Zaugg.

“We’d rather suspend the event than see it done halfway and I’m sure those that have participated would agree,” Zaugg says. “This has been a true labor of love and something we strongly believe in, so we look forward to reinstating it after this hiatus.”

From racers and builders, to celebrities and industry executives, to owners and enthusiasts, Legend of the Motorcycle brings together a unique audience representing many facets of motorcycling from around the globe. The weekend celebration is centered around a display of 200 of some of history’s most important motorcycles judged by an international panel of experts, and combines exhibits, contemporary product unveilings, exclusive presentations, a collector’s auction and charity auction, receptions and rides.
