Erik Buell to Attend the Daytona Fundraiser Event

Sportbike designer and engineer Erik Buell will be the featured guest at its annual Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser, the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum announced today. The event is set to take place on March 11, at an all-new location inside the Daytona 500 Club.

The event also includes a silent auction of unique items related to the Hall of Fame, and an autograph session with Buell and other Motorcycle Hall of Famers.

"Erik Buell is a Hall of Famer not only for his innovative and dogged pursuit of motorcycling excellence, but also because the bikes he built were evocative and impressive enough to earn one of the most passionate fan bases in all of motorcycling,"
said Jeff Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation that is responsible for raising funds for the Hall of Fame. "Few people have Erik's perspective on the parts of America's motorcycle history that are still being written today, and I, for one, can't wait to hear what he has to say."

A Hall of Famer himself, Buell will talk about motorcycles, his years running his company and what the future holds for his Erik Buell Racing company. He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2002.

"For me, motorcycling has always been about the journey, about the people, about the ideas behind the machines, and it will be great to connect with enthusiasts at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser,"
Buell said. "And who knows? I may have a surprise or two to announce by then."
