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.

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.
