Dear fellow AMA Life Member:
Please join me this July 24 at an AMA Life Member Appreciation Breakfast during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
Like many of you, I have spent a lifetime in motorcycling, and the AMA has been a part of that -- as a racing organization, as a rights defender and as a proponent for the motorcycling lifestyle. Being an AMA Life Member has its benefits. I look forward to this opportunity to share the current benefits with you and to talk about the future.
We would like to know if you're coming, so please call Paula Schremser at (614) 856-1900, ext. 1198, to reserve a seat. Feel free to bring a guest. Also, because AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is a fundraiser for the Motorcycle Hall of Fame, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of motorcycling's heritage, we are asking for a voluntary donation of $15.
This breakfast is held as part of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, so you will need a ticket to the event itself, as well. As an AMA Life Member, you're also welcomed to join us in a special AMA VIP tent near the Kawasaki Marque of the Year display at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days where you can enjoy complimentary drinks in a comfortable setting.
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is so cool, and this year with Kawasaki as Marque of the Year it promises to be one of the coolest ever. It's the perfect place for the AMA to hold this breakfast and give all of us AMA Life Members a chance to get together with each other, and find out more about what the association can do for us.
Myself, my father, John Penton, and other Motorcycle Hall of Famers are looking forward to meeting you this July 24.
Sincerely,
Jack Penton

At the AMA Life Member dinner held at Powell Speedway during VMD a number of years ago, MC Larry Maiers wanted to find out who had the lowest AMA number. He started out asking how many folks in attendance had 6 digits in their AMA number, then 5, then 4, eventually it ended up with several folks having an AMA number with 3 digits. The attendee with the lowest 3 digit AMA number, Ike Penton....
Always enjoyed the AMA Life Member events, can't wait for this one...
