It is a bit of a trip from Mass to Ohio but it would be worth it. Mid-Ohio or Vintage Motorcycle Days is the PREMIER event for Vintage in the USA. There will be about 1000 Vintage and Post-Vintage MX racers, a couple of hundred Vintage Trials riders, and well over a 1000 Vintage Road racers on a great course. There are also Fantastic displays, a Swap Meet with many hundreds of Vintage sellers, and I think 20,000-50,000 people watching it all over the course of the weekend. For here in the US it is "THE SHOW".
Max,
If you can, by all means try to make Mid-Ohio. It is THE vintage event in the USA.

Hello Max, since you are this close I say by all means don't miss this event. This is a great swap meet with tons of venders,parts,bikes,and lots of Penton's. Its a BLAST hope you can make it. PS bring your camera and get some great photos to show your racing buddys back home. Even OL' John Penton will be hanging around the POG tent, its COOL! Hope to see you their Crash Carden GO TEAM PENTON! For more information call 1-800-MID OHIO or on line //www.midohio.com
Directions I-90 west via Mass Turnpike and the NY Thruway ( toll roads) to Cleveland Ohio then I-71 South to Lexington, OH Exit #169 follow signs to Mid-Ohio Raceway. From Boston 12-13 hrs driving just a tad over the speed limits. Hope you can make it and visit the Penton Owners Group Display in the swap meet area.
